Problems related to the retail version shouldn't be anything to do with LSPDFR. According to the website, there's a new version of RPH which fixes a bug present in the retail version. At the end of the day, LSPDFR is the same on both the retail and Steam versions, but how RPH executes it is not.
I'm hoping this is a one off!
At least, though, I hope it can give everyone an insight into the work that goes on behind the scenes here to do what we do. I especially hope that it can also shed some light on how we've been listening to your feedback about RPH and pushing for changes to it, and I certainly hope we can be in the position to push forward with some positive changes to the hook, like:
Toning down the branding and notifications. I don't think there's any more doubt as to the name of the hook, and those screens get seriously annoying! Removing/significantly redoing the redundant plugin verification system (LSPDFR is the only verified plugin, and it is always a version behind, meaning new releases are never verified) I know a lot of people are keen to see the removal of the anti-piracy measures. I do, however, understand the ethics behind them, but I don't think it is a modification developer's place to be enforcing Rockstar's intellectual property rights (especially since the process behind making RPH directly contravenes the EULA of the game, and the name/logos of the hook are quite possibly a violation of these rights itself!). This is also something that we've mentioned multiple times.
