whenever I try to start up ragehook, I would get an error for bad permissions or bad antivirus. I started ragehook again after making exclusions but it made gtav perform another 80.9 GB update. I am not good with computers so I have no idea what is going on or what to do

it cant be a 80.9GB size update so the game must be reinstalling. Does anyone know why it is reinstalling after already performing 3 and what I can do to solve this?

Did you try running RPH as administrator? If this problem persist, I would uninstall GTA completely and delete the gta v folder. Reinstall it, run the game make sure its functioning correctly then one by one install the scripts you would like to use. Also, this might be the issue actually, install LSPDFR first then install RPH. This is because LSPDFR comes with RPH but it is outdated thus making you install RPH after LSPDFR. I hope one of these works for you! Keep us posted!

running as administrator worked! I feel like a fool for not thinking of that myself.

Thanks for the help!👍
