If this is your 1st time playing the game you need to get the cd key by going on the place where the picture shows

If it isn't your 1st time playing tho read bellow
The Actual Fix
I call this the "Social Club Folder Method"!

1. Turn off Steam Fully (Idk if this is necessary but i do it every time)
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2527164217056093411/88F0577FE6BAE06DEA213ED66CE9F61A1E7C45AF/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

2. Go to C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2527164217056086473/EE3B3BED132C41060E22DA3A8D7575789CF52ED6/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

3. Delete the "Social Club" folder
4. Go to C:\Users\"User Name"\Documents\Rockstar Games
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2527164217056083787/B29739625CACEEF7E57879C77AB64449F4165CC6/?imw=256&&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

5. Delete that "Social Club" folder too

[Idk witch ones you need to do for the fix but i recommend doing both since i didn't test anything out]

6. Launch Steam again
7. Go to GTA V and Verify the files (Isn't necessary but recommend)

8. Launch the Game
9. Sign in to your Rockstar account again
10. Play, it should be fixed now!

If it doesn't work then idk it works for me like that
