Steam failed to initialize Please verify that the Steam Client is running and try again | Fix Error Are you getting the error message “Steam failed to initialize. Please verify that the Steam Client is running and try again” when trying to open your game? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. This issue happens in GTA 5 and also in many other games. The reason is simple – the launcher keeps looking for Steam, and when it can’t find it, the game refuses to start. In this video, I’ll show you the easy fix. Instead of using the regular game icon or launcher, you just need to run the correct startup file inside your game folder. For example, in GTA 5 it’s called PlayGTAV.bat. Once you open this file, the game will launch without showing the Steam error.
