GTA 5 won't start.

[Kimberly]

So I open rage as an admin, hit GTAW, and it acts like it's gonna launch but disappoints me with the retry or cancel message for GTA5, happens for single player and Rage.

I get this from time to time. If retry doesn't fix it, open up task manager and close everything GTA V related, everything RageMP related and finally EVERYTHING steam related then try again.

When this happens for me I have to sometimes restart my PC. If you have already done this, verify your game cache.

Whenever I have issues with rage, what I usually does is: right click on the desktop rage icon and choose open file location. Then instead of the updater icon double click on the one that reads ragemp_v

 

That always works for me at lest.

If your single-player isn't opening up as well, I recommend you to try and verify the integrity of your game files, there may be a possibility that a game component of yours being corrupted.

 

If you're using the steam version (I'm not really sure about the other version though), visit your game library and right-click on Grand Theft Auto V and select Properties. Select the Local Files tab and select the option 'Verify Integrity of Game Files'.

I've verified the integrity twice and still no solution. I'm close to reinstalling the entire game

Sadly that is your only option.

Hmm, give me your discord, I will try to help you there through more advanced ways. A friend of mine from States used to have exactly same issue was a cluster fuck to find a fix but eventually we somehow fixed it.
