Found this on another forum, maybe this would help:
You may receive Steam error code 80 when you attempt to launch the game. In this situation, the game fails to start. Below are some troubleshooting steps through which you can fix this error.
Uncheck Read-Only files:
Steam error code 80 can appear when certain Steam files are set to read only. To play game without error, you should remove read-only remark of required files as shown below:
1. Close all applications including Steam. (Close its system tray icon too) 2. Navigate to game’s installation directory. Generally, C:\Program Files. 3. Right click on the Steam Folder and select Properties. 4. Uncheck the Read-Only remark. 5. Click Apply | OK. 6. Start Steam again.

Has your game worked before? Or you got the error after the first time you installed it on your PC?
If the game has worked before, there must be something wrong with the save data. Could be missing or corrupted one of the save data such as CCLocalManager.dat or CCLocalLevels.dat. Those files are located in C: -> Users -> <your PC name> -> AppData -> Local -> Geometry Dash.
If you got the error the first time you installed it, make sure that you have the latest version of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable in your PC.

I just restart my pc every time that happens. this worked, thanks. the only reason i didn't do it before is because i'd have to update my computer along with the restart, so i was wondering if there was a way to circumvent that.
