Hi, I need help with my GTA V download from SteamRIP.

The game is not opening and keeps showing the error: "Steam failed to initialize. Please verify that the Steam Client is running and try again."

What I've already tried:

• Running every .exe file as an Administrator (GTA5.exe, PlayGTAV.exe, etc.).
• Using a PlayGTAV.bat file to launch the game.
• Checking the files (it seems one of my .rpf files is incomplete/corrupted).

The error persists regardless of what I try. I cannot redownload the whole game. Has anyone found a solution for this specific Steam initialization error with the SteamRIP version?
