For a very long time I've had a consistent problem with RPH. EVERY time I try to open it, it opens the rockstar games launcher in offline mode, and the game refuses to open in offline mode.
However, if I open the rockstar games launcher by myself, everything works fine and I turn the game on. However, the trick of opening the rage plugin hook after turning on the game doesn't work, because when I do, it just closes out of the currently open launcher, and it opens a new one in offline mode, and totally ignores the game that's currently open.
In the past I was able to use a mod that bypassed the launcher, which allowed me to play, however now it appears that it's been patched, because I'm now getting an error that tells me I'm not allowed to play in offline mode, as it requires an internet connection to verify my copy of the game.
I'm at a total loss and I've gone to the ends of the earth in an attempt to solve this issue.
Please help!
