Hi all-

After this new godforsaken update every time I launch RPH it boots Rockstar Launcher which says "Loading" for about 10 seconds then "Quitting". Any help would be appreciated.

The best way is to first open GTAV, enter Story-mode, when you have a stable story-mode with free roaming, then use Alt-TAB, goto desktop and there start RPHook.
Then use Alt-TAB to jump back to GTAV and wait for LSPDfr to open completely.

A more detailed way to do this:

Spoiler

'How to start the game and activate LSPDFR
First: Open Note-pad! Put in app-tray.
Second: Use your desktop-shortcut or open gamelauncher for GTA-V -eg the standard-game!
Let the game load completely
Select Story-mode
Let Story-mode load Completely!
One of your GTA-V Charachters must be loaded and ready for "free roaming" to be used as player-character!
Iow : You MUST complete the first story-mode missions BEFORE you can use LSPD:FR!!!
When Frankling gets his house, he is ready, NOT before!!!
Now:
Press and hold left ALT, and tab on TAB.
That will let you leave GTA-V and you should now select the trayed Note-pad.
Because of notepads simplicity, you can bring up your task-bar, and select Show-desktop.
Browse to RAGEPluginHook.exe
Rightclick and choose to run the App.
Using ALT+TAB again, browse back to GTA-V
Wait until your GTA-charachter changes to the police-charachter you have created
You are now in LSPDFR-mode. Go to the nearest police-station.

 

Special situation

1. run after an R* update
After you have entered story-mode as normal RP-Hook will react a bit different.
First you get a warning from windows defender
It says that win-defender has protected you from a *potential* dangerous executeable

click More Info
Scroll to the right
Choose option run anyway

In GTA nothing seams to happen
Go to tray
RPHook has now a disclaimer-popup
Click the OK to accept the EULA
We are almost there but RP-Hook will now open a pop-up in tray Dispaying all the files that has been blocked by windows

Here you choose Yes to unblock all files
Now RP-Hook opens the std UI. Here you should check that plugin-timeout is 60000 ms, and then you should chose the option Save-and-Launch.
Now You will see a message that RAGE is hooking -as it should and shortly after you will see that LSPDFR is running inside GTAV
From here after ...until the next R* update- The startup sequence is again normal and as above.
