Guessing name taken? You didn't get an error for it?
And then assign attributes.

Oh, it has to be a globally unique name?! No error.

Not sure, your name doesn't matter though, will always use your rockstar name anyways.
This was 3 weeks ago: that anything involving char names didn't work, but that should be fixed as my friend made a char last week.
Did support get back to you?

Still no reply from Rockstar. Probably too late to get a refund from Steam.
Try a female character.

Finally got a reply:
I did what they advised exactly and on launching the game changed a bit in that there was three intro screens I didn't see before, of which the first gave me some freebies. But once at the character creation screen the Confirm button is still disabled:
So I am still stuck.

Did you validate the local files cache in steam?

Did not realize Steam had a new interface.
Only thing I can think of is install it all on a new/friends machine and try to create the char on there.

New instructions received, though I am not uninstalling and reinstalling the game, that's 120 GB. I assume Steam will re-download it then:
---------------------------
To perform a clean install of the Rockstar Games Launcher, please complete all of the following steps below:
Uninstall the Rockstar Games Launcher
- Close any Rockstar Games titles that are running
- Navigate to the Rockstar Games Launcher Installation folder
- Default: C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher
- Double-click the uninstall.exe program and uninstall the Rockstar Games Launcher
- Leave the prompt to uninstall the game data unchecked.
Remove any remaining Rockstar Games Launcher and Social Club files
- Once the uninstaller has completed, delete all of the following folders
NOTE: Do not delete any other folders or files as you may lose game save or other data.- C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Rockstar Games\Social Club
- C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Rockstar Games\Launcher
- C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games \Launcher
- (wherever it was installed previously)
- C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Social Club
- C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Social Club
- Restart your computer
Reinstall the Rockstar Games Launcher:
- After the computer restarts, install the Rockstar Games Launcher, using the following link:
Please uninstall and reinstall the game as well.

That's a bit insane. I'd spin up a VM, clone RDO into the common folder and have Steam pick it up as new (as in clone it into steamapp/common and then start steam and hit install on steam, it will discover existing files and do the same as verifying files). Should sort out any issues of your own system being the problem. Just not sure in regards to VM GPU pass through, only done that on Linux.
EDIT: Gpu passthrough seems to be a mission since they moved to DDA, what an annoyance. Can't share the host one's either it seems. So rather just move RDO into a new folder, uninstall it and the social launcher, then close steam and move the game back into common and do the steam install.

*SIGH*
Finally. Must be old age.
If you look at the screenshots above you will see it says at the bottom "You must assign your character's attribute". When I go into attributes all three is at 50%. To me it looked assigned. What I didn't realise is that I have two attribute "points" I need to assign to those. So adding one to Health and Stamina and now the Confirm button is enabled. It is CLEAR AS FUCKING MUD!!!

Fuck this, I started playing Minecraft again yesterday, first time in 10 years. It's developed really nicely over this time. I'm playing that today. Once I get over the "anger" for Red Dead Online I'll give it a go.
