The Rockstar update service is unavailable (code 1)

This message appears when you try to install, launch or update the game (through steam or other). This happens because your Windows username might contain characters in it that are not in the English language alphabet (not your fault – Rockstar is working on a fix). You can wait for the fix to be released, but you can also do a manual fix. You need to create a new user account with administrative privileges in your Windows. Make sure the new Windows user you create is named only including letters A to Z, a to z or numbers 0-9 from the basic roman alphabet. When you log into this new user you should be able to play the game without the error appearing.

GTA 5 for PC not launching with Steam on laptops

Some users have been reporting that they can’t launch GTA V on their laptops with nVidia graphics cards. When they start the game absolutely nothing happens (social club doesn’t open and clicking play accomplishes nothing). If you have a mobile nVidia GPU you should first update nVidia drivers to the latest version because nVidia released today a compatibility driver for this game. In case that doesn’t work either try the following fix as suggested by reddit user /u/MustacheEmperor:
Are you on laptops? My friend and I both had this problem and this fixed it: Open device manager, go to display adapters, and disable your nvidia device so only the intel card is enabled. After launching the game re-enable the nvidia card quickly. The game will then work. Seems like there’s a compatibility problem with mobile nvidia cards.
