Hi, whenever i try and load onto LSPDFR my rage plugin hook gets stuck on launching game, while the rest of my game loads, ive tried finding a fix for this and still havent. any help to get this working.

Hello,

Can you try loading into singleplayer normally first and then starting RPH?

If that doesn't work, please upload your latest RagePluginHook.log from your main game folder please

 

This topic has been moved to the appropriate forum. Please post in the correct location in the future.

RagePluginHook.loghere is my most recent log, i tried loading in single player and then loading rph but that did not work

Just a warning, there has been an update released for GTA V, don't update if you want to continue on LPSDFR! RPH won't have an update for a few days or a week or so

Does your game run without RPH? Like are you able to start it normally?

As for your issue, do you have any mods installed? If so rename your mods folder to _mods and see if the crashing stops

Hi, yes my game runs without rph just fine, l just tried this fix and it still didnt work, the game itself loads fine, just rph never loads and stays stuck on launching game

Okay, can you try running RPH as an admin?

If that doesn't work, edit commandline.txt in your main game folder and add -log to it, run RPH again and it will generate a RagePluginHookLauncher.log that you can upload

its not creating a new log but this one from yesterday where i tried the same fixes and the same issues occuredRagePluginHook.log

If it's not creating either log then it's not running properly.

Delete all RPH and LSPDFR files and manually install the enhanced preview again and try it! (backup your settings and characters)

hi, i tried this and still nothing is working

Something else on your pc is causing the issue then

Make sure you have added your game folder and RagePluginHook.exe as an exception in your Windows Security/Anti-virus, and ensure you have full read/write permissions for the game folder (folder properties > security)

tried this and still nothing, i genuinly have no idea why this isnt working

Make sure you are not missing any files, if you can't even generate a launcher log then something on your PC is blocking it

Does your Enhanced folder have a "GTA5.exe" file by chance?

Hi, yes it does have a GTA5.exe file, is that an issue?

If you have Enhanced it should be GTA5_Enhanced.exe. Delete the GTA .exes and verify your game files, should fix it

What he said, a lot of people have a "GTA5.exe" file in their Enhanced folder to make OpenIV work. However, when you have that file in your folder RagePluginHook will attempt for legacy as it favours that file. If you need it for OpenIV, I suggest you rename it to like "_GTA5.exe" for when you launch the game.

Thanks @Ouxlaw that was a good catch
