Check the properties of GTA5.exe, > Compatibility > Please remove the "run as admin" property from the GTA5.exe if it is on. this can be one reason why RPH is not able to run.

and, if you have an antivirus, you might need to turn off real-time protection when running rph, it might not be enough to exclude it.

 

already tried disabling and that didn't work, and it's not running as administrator

Go to the properties of the ENTIRE GTAV folder and turn off read-only, then in the security tab click advanced, and change the owner of the folder, in the box that comes up type in your user accounts name OR "Administrators" then try running rph as administrator. I have a feeling this is a permissions issue where rph doesnt have the permissions to do things it needs to do.

and make sure to enable inheritance and apply attributes to all child folders.

Also, if you have a antivirus with a firewall, try temporarily disabling it, someone else had the same problem and this was a fix.

I'm not following...

It's like a different language to me, not being very technically minded

just open the security tab and press advanced then change owner, then type your windows accounts name in OR "Administrators" and then launch rph as an administrator

follow the pictures for more instruction

Then apply it with inheritance enabled and run rph as an administrator
Then apply 

and make sure to turn off "read-only"

So it might be best for u to make a tutorial video showing how to do this

its not hard to understand, just click the buttons that are red and type in your user account name, it isnt hard at all.

 "in the box that comes up type in your user accounts name OR "Administrators" then try running rph as administrator." This bit I'm really not getting. I'm not that technically minded, and the pictures aren't helping me out much

have you tried to reinstall rph and lspdfr?

I did that as well yes and that never fixed it

Now tried running RPH as administrator, launching with custom arguments, (Steam) and done the advanced settings to run it in DirectX 11 and no joy. I'm wondering now whether it is actually RAGE itself that's causing the issues

Do you have the latest GTAV update installed (3274) and the latest LSPDFR/RPH? Do you also have a legit copy of the game and are NOT using any social club emu / steam emu? I have been trying to get RPH to work for a few days and there were multiple reasons why RPH would crash on loading story mode, one of them being that I was using a social club emu so I wouldn't need 2 different launchers (EpicGames and Rockstar) to play GTAV. I have a legit copy of the game, obtained through EpicGames. Story mode would work just fine with the social club emu (without RPH); however, installing RPH would yield crashing each time on loading story mode. No problems with hooking. No gameconfig.xml, memory heap increase, package increase mods helped - one does not need them on a clean GTAV and RPH. Have you ran scripts which have disabled windows defender or removed it before? Doing so (as I did) meant I could no longer run any applications as an administrator, being one of the causes for RPH (and many other applications) to fail to work. Doing a clean windows install fixed that issue (using a bootable win10 USB repair/upgrade will not work, you need to clean install windows again i.e. format your C:/ partition). Those 2 fixes were necessary for RPH to work. The social club emu in question was 4 files added to the GTAV root folder, one of them replacing PlayGTAV executable.

Latest update.

Using the latest LSPDFR build

Legit copy. 1 on Steam and 1 on Epic. (what does emu mean in this context?)

 

and this has gone too technical real quick. Idk what any of this means: "Doing a clean windows install fixed that issue (using a bootable win10 USB repair/upgrade will not work, you need to clean install windows again i.e. format your C:/ partition)."

Emu is just an abbreviation for 'emulator', in this case referring to some software that just makes your PC system seem like another to other applications. Steam emulators are used to run steam games independent of steam itself. The emulator handles all interactions between steam and the game (i.e. the steam API calls), so one doesn't need steam anymore to play steam games. One less launcher off your system and no need to be online to play any of your games. If one has the steam version of GTAV, one can use it to rid themselves of steam. The social club emu I used is so I don't need the rockstar launcher to play; a lot of pirated GTAV releases rely on this to essentially bypass any license checks done by the rockstar launcher, but I had a legit copy from EpicGames, I just didn't want to have 2 launchers (epic and rock*) to play GTAV, so I used the social club emu - ridding my need of them. As I said, doing this will make RPH crash on load, so one has to unfortunately use a bajillion launchers to make RPH work with GTA V.

I should have mentioned that there are multiple ways of 'reinstalling Windows' per say:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/reinstall-windows-d8369486-3e33-7d9c-dccc-859e2b022fc7

^ As explained above, 'Reset Windows 10', 'Reinstall Windows 10 using installation media' and 'Clean install of Windows 10 using installation media' are all options, but only the latter is enough to fix whatever system files windows-defender-disabling scripts may have botched up. If you haven't ran any such scripts you won't need to do this. Though you can try the second option 'Reinstall Windows 10 using installation media' as it will keep all of your installed applications and personal files, only modifying Windows system files.

I have also tried running RPH as administrator and had no luck. I'm honestly on the verge of giving up

yo lemme tell u smth that helped me fix, right click on ur gta 5 main directory, go to security, make sure everything is ticked except for special permissions. Dont give up! keep trying!
