Hey everyone,

I've been trying to get LSPDFR running on GTA V Enhanced and I'm completely stuck. Every time I launch RPH, it just silently closes and the RPH screen never shows up in game. If I try launching RPH a second time while the game is still open, it either throws a DirectStorage initialization error that crashes the game, or says "slow or insufficient permissions".

My setup:

• GTA V Enhanced 1.0.1013.34 (Epic/Rockstar Launcher)

• RPH v1.130 (from the latest LSPDFR Enhanced package)

• LSPDFR latest Enhanced Preview (April 2026)

• ScriptHookV reinstalled last

• DirectStorageFix v1.2

• Windows 11 build 26200

• GTA installed on Samsung MZVL8512HELU-00BTW NVMe SSD

The weird part is that DirectStorageFix.log says "DirectStorage not enabled (Not on NVMe drive). Stopping." but I definitely have NVMe drives, PowerShell confirms BusType = NVMe on both. So the fix incorrectly thinks my Samsung isn't NVMe and stops without doing anything.

Looking at the crashreport, RPH is crashing because DirectStorage is locking RagePluginHook.log before RPH can write to it, which is exactly what DirectStorageFix is supposed to prevent, but since the fix isn't applying, the crash keeps happening.

Things I already tried:

• Reinstalled ScriptHookV last to make sure xinput1_4.dll is the right one

• Ran Rockstar Launcher as Administrator : RPH gets further and reaches "Loading Story Mode" but then crashes

• Added -nDirectStorage to commandline.txt

• Deleting RagePluginHook.log before launching

• Looked for a commandline flag to disable DirectStorage : couldn't find one

Sounds like the game folder doesn't have the necessary permissions.

Open the game folder properties, go to the security tab, and make sure your PC's users have full read/write permissions

I doesn't look like the problem since It already have every permissions :(

Something must be blocking it then if you are getting further while running RPH as an admin. Have you added RagePluginHook.exe and the game folder as exceptions in windows security?

It was previously in exceptions, but I removed them and added back, and now it is working when I lauch RPH as admin, when the game is already in SP. The problem now is that the console is not showing. My key is F4, but if I press it, the game freeze as if I was in the console, but nothing pop. If I press echap key, I go back to the game as normal. In RPH settings, -nodx is not checked, so I don't know where that could come from.

Do you have any ideas ? Thanks !

Weird, still sounds like a permissions issue. Can you screenshot your game's folder permissions please

Here it is !

Do you have a 4000 or 5000 series NVIDIA GPU?

I'm on RTX 4070 laptop, with latest drivers available

You will need to disable NVIDIA Smooth Motion globally, or for GTA V seperately.

You can find instructions on NVIDIA's website for doing that here (set to Off instead of On):
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5621/~/enabling-smooth-motion-in-nvidia-app

It's already turned off :(

Do you have any mods that use UI dependencies?

If so make sure you are on the latest versions.

I can suggest renaming your mods folder to _mods and see if it makes a difference

The only mod that I have is a gameconfig. To be sure about it, I renamed the folder as you suggested, but nothing changes.
In fact, LSPDFR crashes just after loading. The console still doesn't shows, so I can't force the plugin back.
I included the latest log, in case you can find something in it.
It is very disturbing, since lspdr didn't crash yesterday, and I don't see what I could have touched. Didn't install mods or files in the game folder, no windows update as I now of or something...

RagePluginHook.log

Okay no worries, I appreciate you providing as many details as you can!

So in the log I see this:

I suspect there is an issue with your character file. Backup the chars folder somewhere and move/delete the characters from it. Load LSPDFR and create a new character and see if that helps

I did as you said and you were right on that part, now lspd is not crashing when it get loaded !
The console still doesn't appear still... so when lspd is crashing I need to reload the whole game innit:(

At least we get one problem solved !

Strange considering you have taken all the usual steps for the console. At least LSPDFR is working now

I could suggest disabling any overlays (NVIDIA, Steam, etc) and see if that makes a difference. You could also try different directx versions, and switch between fullscreen and windowed. If none of that works please let me know!
