Are you using steam to launch?

If so you can verify the game files in steam.

Question from nhk5 : "GTA5 crashing problem"

I recently installed GTA5 on my PC, but when i start the game i can hear the audio and see the map, everything else remains black. Afterwards i get a message saying
"ERR_GFX_D3D_INIT
Failed Initialisation. Please reboot and restart the game. try reinstalling the game if this persists."
Any help would be helpful. Thanks in advance

I installed the game directly from the game DVD

did u buy this from online and the game is orginal or downloaded from net?

Original copy of the game?

If so, you might want to install specific .dll or "Visual C++ Redistributable Packages". Try googling your issue (error message "ERR_...._INIT") to find out which one exactly do you need and download it from official microsoft webpage. (i find this problem very common).

Even tho if it is a "cracked" version, you might still want to take a look at the recommendation above, but have in mind that the game files also may be corrupted.

Also, during the installation process, have you seen choices to install such packages? they are always included with the installation disc. If i remember correctly, the table of choices to install these additional packages opens up just right after the game installer finishes its job. These additional file packages (usually additional .dll files) are necessary for the game to run normally.

I found out that gta 5 crashes and gives this exact error when people to try the game with <Fraps, MSI Afterburner etc.> or other monitoring / screen capturing applications running in the background. Do you have any of those?

there wasnt any option,but there was an error with the installation of the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages

None of these

You said "there wasnt any option,but there was an error with the installation of the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages".

Find these exact packages and install them manually, or simply google which ones does the game require and download+install them.

Yes there are many editions of this package (visual c++), different edition every year and more so you need to find that specific one that the game requires. 1 more fact, for example, it is not enough to have the latest one installed, you still have to download a 2015 for example edition even if you have a 2016 version already.

I fell ya 😀 now i never skip the installation of these small additional packages and .dll files - almost every program has them, because downloading and installing .dll files manually is really very frustrating..

Use this uninstaller first .
https://github.com/Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller/releases


Then get these .

Then finally you can put update 3 on .

the setup required was the 2008 redistributable setup. I tried the setup that came with the game and also downloaded a seperate setup file, but everytime the same error message pops up- "ERROR 997. Overlapped I/O operation is in progress"

The only other thing I noticed is it requires service pack 1 from windows updates.

...Trippy.

Making sure your computer is kept up to date is important. If your Windows isn't fully updated, you stand a good chance of having issues like this one.
