GTA V stuck on verifying

Anyone know what’s the problem? I claimed it when it was free on epic launcher and it’s been stuck on verifying every time I try downloading. I tried reinstalling the game files and I really don’t want to reinstall epic games launcher. This is quite annoying but I want to play

edit: reinstalling epic launcher didn’t work either

 

Did you look it up online? did no solution work for you?

 

I have, it might be my hdd that is the problem. I have an external ssd maybe I can install in there so that it’s faster.

 

Uninstall and install again. It happened to me and it worked

 

Ok I’ll try

 

Hey, at least you can run it. My laptop can't play most modern games. Saddening.

 

Go get a new pc?

 

Mom won't let me get one.
