GTA V Launcher Steam problem

[GermanPCBuilder]

So yesterday I was playing GTA and everything worked just fine but now if I want to start the game via steam ( or my desktop icon) it wouldnt work I just get a windows error screen which asks if I want to close or debug the programm because its not working. What can I do to fix this issue?

Only the launcher or steam itself?

-

in steam, verify the game cache for GTA V

have you tried turning your computer off and back on? if that doesn't work you can go into steam and right click on gta 5 and click on properties and navigate to this tab and click verify integrity of game files.

Steam works great (havent tested another game) only the gta launcher doesnt work.

The games cache? I have no idea what that is. Also yesterday it was running great and I havent made any changes to the games files or anything else

From the steam site:

1.  From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
2. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game files... button.
3. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.

hmm that is strange. i would wait to see what it is trying to do. i know you said it wasn't using any bytes but is it using any disk?

no problem i had a similar issue with one of my steam games a while back and ended up having to do the same thing to fix the issue. I've also had it where even that didn't work and i had to reinstall the entire game but lucky you didn't have to do that.
