Trouble Starting LSPDFR

[logan.d.barbee 0]

Hello all, I am having troubles starting LSPDFR. I just downloaded GTA5 from the Steam summer sale and then downloaded LSPDFR and installed it using the installer. After running it, it came up with the error about how RAGE Hook wasn't compatible with the current version of the game. So I went to the RAGE Hook website to download the current version (0.55.1131.11501.ALPHA). After moving over the files like the readme says, I try to launch the RAGE Hook application and it never launches. When I launch RAGE Hook as administrator, it comes up with a prompt saying not to start RAGE Hook in administrative mode unless its needed. After clicking okay, the prompt disappears and nothing else happens. If anyone can hook me up with a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi there.  First off, welcome to the world of GTA modding. :)  Second, ignore the prompt saying not to start Rage as admin.  I will never understand why that is a thing when it has been proven in some cases that running in admin works.

 

For your issue, double check that you have all of these installed.

I am downloading the documents that you linked. Do they need to be extracted into the GTA5 folder?

All of the ones I linked, except for bink2w64.dll are just installed to your computer.  Bink2w64.dll needs to be placed in your main GTA V directory.

Alright, All files you linked were already present. Still no luck launching the Rage Hook application. I double click, it acts like it might start but then nothing..

Does the Rage logo even come up on the screen, or no?

It does not. Looking at the task manager,  it seems as if the app tries to start but crashes a couple seconds later.

I don't believe so, no. I don't have Avast.

Are you on Windows 10?

 

Also, in your main GTA V directory, please open up the command line listed.  Type in -scofflineonly, then save it.

Yes I am on Windows 10.

 

Alright, I added that text and saved it. Rage Hook is still not launching, no change.

I don't think this is my issue because I don't believe I have the Creator Update. I went to the Solution post on that thread and he said to go to the Gaming tab in Windows Settings, and I don"t even have a Gaming tab, lol.

Load into GTA V via GTA 5.exe.  Once in single player, alt tab out and try to start Rage.

If I launch the game, I get a error message saying the game was unable to launch because I did not launch it through Steam.

 

And now I'm getting "Failure to connect to Rockstar Servers" when I launch through Steam.. This is testing my patience.

Open up the command line again and remove the -scofflineonly.   Please post screenshots of your GTA V directory.

Alright I was able to get the game to launch through Steam. However, trying to run Rage Hook with the game open is having the same affect. It acts as if it is trying to start, but crashes a couple seconds later.

You're missing advancedhookv.dll.  This comes with the LSPDFR download, so please redownload LSPDFR and grab the file. :)
