I did a Clean install with no issues, my GTA5 folder already came with ScripthookV and DirectStorageFix, but after installing LSPDFR, I run RAGEPluginHook.exe and it shows me a list of things that are blocked and if I wanted to unblock them, I click yes, it tells me to accept something and then it doesn't load GTA5, I try several times, I ran it at administrator then it told me to only run it at administrator if it was an issue, I'm a new person here and I don't know whats going on.

Its the Enhanced Version.

Also Note: the second I launch RAGEPluginHook.exe, nothing appears, just nothing, only the loading circle next to my mouse

Can you run gta on its own?

Yes I can run GTA5 on my own. Its just that the RAGEPluginHook.exe opens nothing, only loading.

Sounds like you have "GTA5.exe" in your game folder. Rename the file to "_GTA5.exe" and rename it back when you need to use OpenIV. RPH favours the legacy .exe over the enhanced one so it gets stuck on loading.

Just to be clear, did it work for you when you ran it as an admin or did you not prcoeed?

If it does work, it is likely Windows or your anti-virus blocking it

If it doesn't. Can you try loading into singleplayer normally and then starting RPH?

If all fails, can you edit commandline.txt in your game folder and add " -log" to the end of the first line and run RPH again. It should generate a text file named RagePluginHookLauncher.txt that you can upload here
