The title is as straight forward as I can get. After updating lspdfr and the likes GTA won't launch/crashes. At first when I updated lspdfr the game would load till it got to the rockstar badges and I would get a crash message (sorry no screenshot) I would select said message and minimize my game window and when I clicked it again the game would get passed the part that RAGE claimed crashed but would go no further. So in a maniac episode I deleted EVERYTHING, including saves and mods and vital files for the game. I then deleted GTA and re-downloaded it from scratch. After which I launched it bare bones to get past the prologue, I achieved that and closed it to download lspdfr. With just lspdfr installed I went in via the rage launcher to launch my game and received an unable to launch game message (I have included a screenshot of that). Being naive I thought rage was the issue so I attempted to launch via steam and still the same message. I have attempted everything, from looking amongst the horrid scriptures of reddit to watch way too many YouTube tutorials and still nothing, I even did what I knew best and attempted to run as admin, check windows updates, re-download rockstar launcher, mess with the mods folder (i,e, delete or modify(didn't have a mods folder to start with)) I even updated my drivers. when I deleted and re-downloaded the rockstar launcher it gave me an error message that there is an updated version (I have deleted all traces of the pest prior to re-download). Before I go manic again and screw something else up I wanted to seek guidance for my other worldly issues. Love you all! (the one who can help me will get a forehead kiss!) ((also I have attached screenshots but if you need more please let me know))
