Rage Plugin - Validation error

[Andrew H 1]

Not much to screen shot the launcher says validating hook, and then nothing happens it just disappears

Usually RPH disappearing and not starting is linked to anti-virus flagging. If using Windows Defender, add an exemption for your GTA folder.

This was working yesterday, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work now

Because Microsoft Defender updates their definitions regularly which your system automatically downloads. If those definitions are too broad, they end up creating false positives. Since RPH looks very sus to AV software (the entire point of RPH is to modify another programs' behavior), it is hit with false positives more than other software.

I updated it and made the exemption, and it still will not load
