Every time I launch the game, it gets to the Social Club stage then displays the message 'Steam failed to initialize'. I don't get what's wrong, it was working fine this morning and yesterday. Things I've tried: Verifying the cache Running the game as an administrator Restarting Steam Restarting my PC Anyone got any other fixes for this? Or will I have to reinstall the game?
