GTA 5 crashes on 3 stars on intro

[thefool]

GTA 5 crashes on 3 stars on intro and it was playing fine before its been like this since the end of june. I dont have a laptop so it isn't a laptop related video issue and all my drivers are up to date and I even tried turning of steam overlay in game and I reinstalled the game as well. Does anyone know how to fix gta5 crashing on the intro screen it use to work fine before and other games run fine its just gta5.

1. Delete the Rockstar folder located in My Documents and go to Steam -- Verify the game cache to redownload/reacquire those files. Sometimes the configuration becomes...wonky and you need to delete the folder and reset/restart it again.

2. Are your drivers up to date?

3. Does your virus protection/firewall give you full access to play this game? If not, you need to exclude them from your virus protection/firewall.

Okay, well, I had this crash once and I did all those things plus:

1. type sfc/SCANNOW through the command prompt (adminstrator).

2. open msconfig.exe in your search bar and change the load-out to the third, go to the third tab, and select the hide windows files box. You see'll third party apps like Steam, Itunes (if you have it), and other things. De-select Steam and restart your pc. Once restarted, try to start steam. It will give you an error. Go back to msconfig.exe and repeat everything and re-select Steam. Restart your pc. They try launching the game again.

Uh...I don't think this will do much, but go to your GTAV.exe and the launcher and right-click (for each), go to properties, allow them to run on Windows 8 or 7 (depending on what your OS is) then select the 'run as administrator' box at the bottom, click apply, and try to launch the game.

If that doesn't work then delete the GTAV.exe and The launcher and verify the game cache once again.

Seriously, sometimes deleting files and reacquiring them helps a lot. It's just figuing out which files to delete and to re-acquire.

There are other things too, but I'll stop right there for now.

Did that fix it for you? Or did something else fix it?
