Can somebody please help!!! I reinstalled everything today cause 0.4.8 caused crashes. I did a fresh install and it still crashes on start up. any ideas?

RagePluginHook.log

Can you launch GTA without Rage?

yes i can

Ensure Rage isn't being blocked by your antivirus.  Launch GTA by itself, then once in game, alt-tab and launch Rage.

now i cant even start GTA normally

Rename your mods folder to _mods and try again.

that worked

Something is broken in your mods folder.  Figure out what mods you installed between the last time your game worked and now, then remove them.  Re-install one-by-one (if more than one mod was removed) until your game breaks again.  Do this with your mods folder renamed back to normal.

If you don't know what you changed in your mods folder, then the easiest thing to do is delete the old one and create a new one.

If you don't use your mods folder then I would just delete it and get a new one. 

Your mods folder doesn't need all the vanilla files - just the ones you want overrided. Have you made any changes to the meta's etc..?

You should try undoing what you changed to see if that fixes it.

i deleted and reinstalled what i had in the mods folder. It is up and running. I appreciate the help.
