If you're being prompted for a CD key when launching Grand Theft Auto V on Steam, despite having played it without issues previously, this may indicate a problem with the Rockstar Games Launcher or the Social Club integration. To resolve this issue, consider the following steps:

1. Update the Rockstar Games Launcher: Ensure that the Rockstar Games Launcher is up to date, as outdated versions can cause activation issues.


2. Delete the Social Club Folder: Corrupted Social Club files can lead to activation problems. To address this:

Close Steam completely.

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games and delete the "Social Club" folder.

Also, go to `C:\Users




If the issue persists even after following the steps above, here are some additional troubleshooting suggestions:

6. Check for Account Conflicts

Ensure you are logged into the correct Rockstar Social Club account that is linked to your Steam account.

If you have multiple Social Club accounts, you might be logged into the wrong one, which could prompt the CD key request.


7. Run Steam and Rockstar Launcher as Administrator

Right-click on both the Steam and Rockstar Launcher icons and choose Run as Administrator.

This ensures the programs have all necessary permissions to access your files and sync with the servers.


8. Disable Antivirus/Firewall Temporarily

Overzealous antivirus or firewall settings can interfere with game authentication. Temporarily disable them and launch the game to check if this resolves the issue.

If it works, add Steam and the Rockstar Games Launcher to your antivirus and firewall exceptions.


9. Clear Cache for the Rockstar Games Launcher

Navigate to Documents\Rockstar Games\Launcher and delete the .cache folder.

Restart the Rockstar Games Launcher to allow it to rebuild the cache.


10. Reinstall the Rockstar Games Launcher

If the problem is related to the launcher itself, uninstall and reinstall it to ensure you have the latest version and no corrupted files.


11. Check for Server Issues

Visit Rockstar's Service Status page to ensure there are no ongoing server outages.

If there’s a server issue, wait until Rockstar resolves it.


12. Reinstall the Game

As a last resort, uninstall and reinstall GTA V through Steam. Ensure that no residual files remain after uninstallation by manually checking the game's directory.


13. Contact Steam Support

If you suspect the issue lies with your Steam account or its linkage to Rockstar, contact Steam Support for assistance.


If none of these steps resolve the issue, documenting all the troubleshooting you've attempted will help both Rockstar and Steam Support provide a faster and more specific solution. Let me know if you need help with any of these steps!
