Steam stuck on "Creating Local Game Files" while installing a game
I am currently trying to install GTA V on my pc. I left my PC on overnight to install it, so when I came back on it was installed but when I pressed PLAY the same menu came up saying "Creating local game files" and the bar was full. I have reset steam and ran it as an administrator. I don't know what else to do so suggestions below would be very helpful!

Have tried restating your computer?

Try to clear your download cache:

I have just restarted my PC, I also cleared my download cache and ran Steam as an Administrator. I am just waiting on the results.

Jumping in late, but were you able to fix your issue? I'm dealing with the same thing right now.
