RageMP Not Launching

2025-03-16T14:52:42Z

SquirtleSquad: Updated titles

== Purpose of this guide ==
The goal of this guide is to go into more detail on common issues players have when they are trying to connect to ECRP through RageMP. Sometimes, RageMP works, and then the next minute it just refuses to connect or refuses to launch. Below are some outlined steps that you can try, to get the issue resolved on your own. This guide may not entirely resolve your issue, but it will resolve the majorities. It is your responsibility to read through the instructions entirely.

== Common issues ==
These are common issues the players will face when trying to connect to ECRP through the RageMP launcher. Common issues that this guide will aim to resolve are:

* GTA loading indefinitely
* GTA loading, then taking the player to Storymode a.k.a Single Player
* GTA loading a black screen, requiring a forced shut down
* GTA not launching at all

== Pre-check ==
Here are some things that should be looked at '''BEFORE''' you attempt any of the steps below. Most of these take a few moments to check off, before the instructions below which can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours to resolve. So, ask yourself the following questions before you move onwards:

=== Are you allowing Universal Access Control (UAC) to launch the game? ===
When you launch certain games, you will be greeted with a pop-up from Windows asking, "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?" with the options of "Yes" or "No"

As long as you have downloaded RageMP's installer and ran through the official installer, you can click "Yes" with confidence. This will allow the client to launch GTA 5 from your library, whether Epic, Rockstar Launcher, or Steam with the correct permissions and allow the Easy Anti-Cheat to instantiate properly hooking into the game. EAC is required to connect to the server.

=== Did you restart your PC? ===
Something as simple as restarting your PC can resolve a majority of the issues players face. This is especially true when your game just crashed, and you cannot relaunch into the game. While Windows does try to do it's best to close down all programs associated with the parent program, some processes can get stuck indefinitely, and cause another instance of the same main application to fail to initialize. A simple full restart will clear this out from RAM and kill off any processes still running on the CPU.

=== Have you installed any new mods? ===
If you've installed any new mods, uninstall them and see if the game will launch. If so, refer back to the instructions for your mod and ensure you're adding the appropriate files to the RageMP folder and only applicable files to the GTA 5 Game Directory.

=== Do you have mods installed from other servers; FiveM, custom overlays, custom plugins, custom mods non-graphical ===
If you're using any FiveM, GTA Singleplayer, or GTAO mods installed directly into your GTA 5 folder, uninstall them and try launching the game. Some mods will play not load with RageMP fine, others may cause issues, particularly scripthook.dll, which you should not have installed to play.

=== Is it just a black screen? ===
This issue is a bit harder to determine what the outcome is, but commonly if someone is using OneDrive, and are backing up their "Documents" folder, this can cause an issue with Windows not having the files fully sync'd on their system. To check open up Windows Explorer, in the Quick Finder on the left side, click on the cloud icon "Name - Personal", then "Documents" and scroll down until you see a folder called "Rockstar Games". There, right click the folder and make sure the option "Always keep on this device" is checked off. This will force Windows to always keep these files on your computer as opposed to uploading it to OneDrive to keep them in sync.
[[File:OneDrive Example.png|center|OneDrive needing to sync]]

== Steps ==

=== Step 1: ===
Restart your PC. If you skimmed through this guide to come to the steps, then restart your PC. It's the least time-consuming thing that you can try before moving on to the next steps.

=== Step 2: ===
Open up your RageMP folder and delete your <code>client_resources</code> folder. Sometimes the files can be hashed wrong or corrupted, and deleting the client resources folder can fix the issue of the game not loading. If you installed the RageMP at the default location, then it'll be under <code>C:\RageMP</code>. Highlight the folder and hit delete. Then launch RageMP as you normally would and connect to the ECRP server. The client will automatically start downloading the server's assets again, so you won't have to do anything.
[[File:RageMP Folder.png|center|677x677px|Windows Explorer window showing RageMP]]

=== Step 3: ===
Uninstall RageMP completely. There are two ways to do it. You can delete everything in the RageMP folder but updater.exe or you can use Windows uninstaller to uninstall RageMP.

==== Deleting Files: ====
If you are deleting the everything in the folder, make sure you do not delete the updater.exe file. After deleting it, empty your Recycling Bin, and then double click the updater.exe file to start reinstalling the latest RageMP client files. After that, you can try to connect to ECRP and see if the game loads.

==== Uninstalling via Windows: ====
If you want to use Windows to uninstall, then right click the Start Button and select "Installed apps" or "Programs". There, you can scroll or search for RAGE Multiplayer and uninstall it. Once that's done, make sure that the RageMP folder is deleted entirely. After that, you can download [https://rage.mp/ RageMP] and run through the installer again.

[[File:Uninstalling RageMP.png|alt=Uninstalling RageMP via Windows Installed App|700x700px]]

=== Step 4: ===
If the above didn't work, you will then need to verify your game files through whatever platform you run Grand Theft Auto V through.

==== Verify Steam: ====
* Find the game in your library
* Right click the game, or click the "Cog" icon and select "Properties"
* In the pop up window, select Installed Files
* Click on "Verify integrity of game files"
* Wait for the scan to conclude and Steam to down the files
* Launch GTA V and run through any installers
* Launch RageMP and connect to the server

[[File:GTA 5 via Steam.png|alt=GTA 5 in Steam|frameless|680x680px]]

[[File:Properties in Steam.png|alt=Properties in Steam|frameless]] [[File:Verify Files in Steam.png|alt=Verify Files in Steam|frameless|438x438px]]

==== Verify Epic Games: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games, however you can follow the directions outlined [https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_EpicGamesStore/c-EpicGamesStore_LauncherSupport/how-do-i-verify-game-files-in-the-epic-games-launcher-a000084923 here].

==== Verify Rockstar Launcher: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run through this on Rockstar Launcher, however you can follow the directions outlined [https://support.rockstargames.com/articles/360036000713/How-to-verify-game-files-in-the-Rockstar-Games-Launcher here].

=== Step 5: ===
This is a big annoying step, uninstalling GTA V entirely. Sometimes even with verifying the game, installing any mods for Single Player could have been lost or missed when removing them, or there's a corrupted file the verification process did not pick up on. With that, you'll need to fully uninstall the game and reinstall it.

==== Uninstall Through Steam: ====

* Locate the game in your Library
* Right click the game, or click the "Cog" icon, select "Manage" and select "Uninstall"
* Let Steam run through the entire Uninstall process
* Afterwards, you can reinstall the game
* You may need to run through Step 3 again with RageMP to make sure that Rage detects where the game is installed at.

[[File:GTA 5 via Steam.png|alt=GTA 5 in Steam|frameless|680x680px]]
[[File:Uninstall GTA 5 via Steam.png|alt=Uninstall GTA 5 via Steam|center|frameless|433x433px]]

==== Uninstall Through Epic Games: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games, however you can follow the directions outlined [https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_EpicGamesStore/c-EpicGamesStore_LauncherSupport/how-to-uninstall-a-game-from-the-epic-games-launcher-a000087932#:~:text=Open%20the%20Launcher%20and%20go,in%20the%20pop-up%20window. here].

==== Uninstall Through Rockstar Launcher: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run through this on Rockstar Launcher.

=== Step 6: ===
This last step to get the game to work for you, would be uninstalling Rockstar Games Launcher and Rockstar Games Social Club. Right click the Windows Start button and select "Installed Apps" or "Programs" and look for "Rockstar Games Launcher". On Windows 11, you can search for the name of this application. Click on the application and start the uninstall progress.

[[File:Uninstall Rockstar Games Launcher.png|alt=Uninstall Rockstar Games Launcher|frameless|701x701px]]

When prompted, you want to make sure you check off "Remove saved Social Club profile data" AND "Remove currently installed game data from your computer". This ensures that when you go to reinstall Rockstar Games Launcher, that it'll be a fresh new copy.

[[File:Uninstall Rockstar Games.png|alt=Uninstall Rockstar Games|frameless|704x704px]]

After uninstalling it, check the "Installed Apps" or "Programs" and see if Rockstar Games Social Club is installed. If it is, please uninstall it as well. There should be no checkbox options to select from, so you can go through the entire process of uninstalling it.

==== Steam: ====
After you uninstall Rockstar Games Launcher and Rockstar Games Social Club, located Grand Theft Auto V in your game library, and click on "Play". As the Launcher and Social Club are uninstalled, this will prompt you to install both applications automatically from Steam. Make sure you follow the steps and have both programs installed. After that, Steam MAY close the game due to it taking too long to start, or launch you into the game into Storymode. You want to make sure you load the game all the way to Storymode before you try and connect to Eclipse Roleplay, as the game needs to generate the necessary settings files for the game.

Once you have loaded into Storymode, you can go ahead and close the game and try to connect to ECRP through RageMP.

==== Epic Games: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games.

==== Rockstar Launcher: ====
You will need to manually download the Rockstar Games Launcher, which you can find [https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/rockstar-games-launcher here] on Rockstars own website. This should also install the Social Club as well.

== Still not working? ==
If none of the above instructions have worked AND you've read through each step, please make a Technical Support ticket through our ECRP Discord. You may be asked to provide photos of the issue you're encountering and telling us what you've all tried will help eliminate repeating steps. To share images of the issue, you'll need to upload them to an image hosting site like [https://imgur.com/ Imgur], [https://imgbb.com/ ImgBB], or otherwise and paste the URL into the Discord ticket.

=== Step 3: ===
Uninstall RageMP completely. There are two ways to do it. You can delete everything in the RageMP folder but updater.exe or you can use Windows uninstaller to uninstall RageMP.

==== Deleting Files: ====
If you are deleting the everything in the folder, make sure you do not delete the updater.exe file. After deleting it, empty your Recycling Bin, and then double click the updater.exe file to start reinstalling the latest RageMP client files. After that, you can try to connect to ECRP and see if the game loads.

==== Uninstalling via Windows: ====
If you want to use Windows to uninstall, then right click the Start Button and select "Installed apps" or "Programs". There, you can scroll or search for RAGE Multiplayer and uninstall it. Once that's done, make sure that the RageMP folder is deleted entirely. After that, you can download [https://rage.mp/ RageMP] and run through the installer again.

[[File:Uninstalling RageMP.png|alt=Uninstalling RageMP via Windows Installed App|700x700px]]

=== Step 4: ===
If the above didn't work, you will then need to verify your game files through whatever platform you run Grand Theft Auto V through.

==== Steam: ====
* Find the game in your library
* Right click the game, or click the "Cog" icon and select "Properties"
* In the pop up window, select Installed Files
* Click on "Verify integrity of game files"
* Wait for the scan to conclude and Steam to down the files
* Launch GTA V and run through any installers
* Launch RageMP and connect to the server

[[File:Properties in Steam.png|alt=Properties in Steam|frameless]] [[File:Verify Files in Steam.png|alt=Verify Files in Steam|frameless|438x438px]]

==== Epic Games: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games, however you can follow the directions outlined [https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_EpicGamesStore/c-EpicGamesStore_LauncherSupport/how-do-i-verify-game-files-in-the-epic-games-launcher-a000084923 here].

==== Rockstar Launcher: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run through this on Rockstar Launcher, however you can follow the directions outlined [https://support.rockstargames.com/articles/360036000713/How-to-verify-game-files-in-the-Rockstar-Games-Launcher here].

=== Step 5: ===
This is a big annoying step, uninstalling GTA V entirely. Sometimes even with verifying the game, installing any mods for Single Player could have been lost or missed when removing them, or there's a corrupted file the verification process did not pick up on. With that, you'll need to fully uninstall the game and reinstall it.

==== Steam: ====

* Locate the game in your Library
* Right click the game, or click the "Cog" icon, select "Manage" and select "Uninstall"
* Let Steam run through the entire Uninstall process
* Afterwards, you can reinstall the game
* You may need to run through Step 3 again with RageMP to make sure that Rage detects where the game is installed at.

[[File:Uninstall GTA 5 via Steam.png|alt=Uninstall GTA 5 via Steam|center|frameless|433x433px]]

==== Epic Games: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games, however you can follow the directions outlined [https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/c-Category_EpicGamesStore/c-EpicGamesStore_LauncherSupport/how-to-uninstall-a-game-from-the-epic-games-launcher-a000087932#:~:text=Open%20the%20Launcher%20and%20go,in%20the%20pop-up%20window. here].

==== Rockstar Launcher: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run through this on Rockstar Launcher.

=== Step 6: ===
This last step to get the game to work for you, would be uninstalling Rockstar Games Launcher and Rockstar Games Social Club. Right click the Windows Start button and select "Installed Apps" or "Programs" and look for "Rockstar Games Launcher". On Windows 11, you can search for the name of this application. Click on the application and start the uninstall progress.

[[File:Uninstall Rockstar Games Launcher.png|alt=Uninstall Rockstar Games Launcher|frameless|701x701px]]

When prompted, you want to make sure you check off "Remove saved Social Club profile data" AND "Remove currently installed game data from your computer". This ensures that when you go to reinstall Rockstar Games Launcher, that it'll be a fresh new copy.

[[File:Uninstall Rockstar Games.png|alt=Uninstall Rockstar Games|frameless|704x704px]]

After uninstalling it, check the "Installed Apps" or "Programs" and see if Rockstar Games Social Club is installed. If it is, please uninstall it as well. There should be no checkbox options to select from, so you can go through the entire process of uninstalling it.

==== Steam: ====
After you uninstall Rockstar Games Launcher and Rockstar Games Social Club, located Grand Theft Auto V in your game library, and click on "Play". As the Launcher and Social Club are uninstalled, this will prompt you to install both applications automatically from Steam. Make sure you follow the steps and have both programs installed. After that, Steam MAY close the game due to it taking too long to start, or launch you into the game into Storymode. You want to make sure you load the game all the way to Storymode before you try and connect to Eclipse Roleplay, as the game needs to generate the necessary settings files for the game.

Once you have loaded into Storymode, you can go ahead and close the game and try to connect to ECRP through RageMP.

==== Epic Games: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games.

==== Rockstar Launcher: ====
You will need to manually download the Rockstar Games Launcher, which you can find [https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/rockstar-games-launcher here] on Rockstars own website. This should also install the Social Club as well.

== Still not working? ==

RageMP Not Launching

2024-07-27T18:50:58Z

SquirtleSquad: Finished moving content from ECRP Forums guide to Wiki

== Purpose of this guide ==
The goal of this guide is to go into more detail on common issues players have when they are trying to connect to ECRP through RageMP. Sometimes, RageMP works, and then the next minute it just refuses to connect or refuses to launch. Below are some outlined steps that you can try, to get the issue resolved on your own. This guide may not entirely resolve your issue, but it will resolve the majorities. It is your responsibility to read through the instructions entirely.

== Common issues ==
These are common issues the players will face when trying to connect to ECRP through the RageMP launcher. Common issues that this guide will aim to resolve are:

* GTA loading indefinitely
* GTA loading, then taking the player to Storymode a.k.a Single Player
* GTA loading a black screen, requiring a forced shut down
* GTA not launching at all

== Pre-check ==
Here are some things that should be looked at '''BEFORE''' you attempt any of the steps below. Most of these take a few moments to check off, before the instructions below which can take anywhere from 15 minutes to a few hours to resolve. So, ask yourself the following questions before you move onwards:

=== Are you allowing Universal Access Control (UAC) to launch the game? ===
When you launch certain games, you will be greeted with a pop-up from Windows asking, "Do you want to allow this app from an unknown publisher to make changes to your device?" with the options of "Yes" or "No"

As long as you have downloaded RageMP's installer and ran through the official installer, you can click "Yes" with confidence. This will allow the client to launch GTA 5 from your library, whether Epic, Rockstar Launcher, or Steam with the correct permissions and allow the Easy Anti-Cheat to instantiate properly hooking into the game. EAC is required to connect to the server.

=== Did you restart your PC? ===
Something as simple as restarting your PC can resolve a majority of the issues players face. This is especially true when your game just crashed, and you cannot relaunch into the game. While Windows does try to do it's best to close down all programs associated with the parent program, some processes can get stuck indefinitely, and cause another instance of the same main application to fail to initialize. A simple full restart will clear this out from RAM and kill off any processes still running on the CPU.

=== Have you installed any new mods? ===
If you've installed any new mods, uninstall them and see if the game will launch. If so, refer back to the instructions for your mod and ensure you're adding the appropriate files to the RageMP folder and only applicable files to the GTA 5 Game Directory.

=== Do you have mods installed from other servers; FiveM, custom overlays, custom plugins, custom mods non-graphical ===
If you're using any FiveM, GTA Singleplayer, or GTAO mods installed directly into your GTA 5 folder, uninstall them and try launching the game. Some mods will play not load with RageMP fine, others may cause issues, particularly scripthook.dll, which you should not have installed to play.

=== Is it just a black screen? ===
This issue is a bit harder to determine what the outcome is, but commonly if someone is using OneDrive, and are backing up their "Documents" folder, this can cause an issue with Windows not having the files fully sync'd on their system. To check open up Windows Explorer, in the Quick Finder on the left side, click on the cloud icon "Name - Personal", then "Documents" and scroll down until you see a folder called "Rockstar Games". There, right click the folder and make sure the option "Always keep on this device" is checked off. This will force Windows to always keep these files on your computer as opposed to uploading it to OneDrive to keep them in sync.
[[File:OneDrive Example.png|center|OneDrive needing to sync]]

== Steps ==

=== Step 1: ===
Restart your PC. If you skimmed through this guide to come to the steps, then restart your PC. It's the least time-consuming thing that you can try before moving on to the next steps.

=== Step 2: ===
Open up your RageMP folder and delete your <code>client_resources</code> folder. Sometimes the files can be hashed wrong or corrupted, and deleting the client resources folder can fix the issue of the game not loading. If you installed the RageMP at the default location, then it'll be under <code>C:\RageMP</code>. Highlight the folder and hit delete. Then launch RageMP as you normally would and connect to the ECRP server. The client will automatically start downloading the server's assets again, so you won't have to do anything.
[[File:RageMP Folder.png|center|677x677px|Windows Explorer window showing RageMP]]

=== Step 3: ===
Uninstall RageMP completely. There are two ways to do it. You can delete everything in the RageMP folder but updater.exe or you can use Windows uninstaller to uninstall RageMP.

==== Deleting Files: ====

After that, you can try to connect to ECRP and see if the game loads.

==== Uninstalling via Windows: ====
If you want to use Windows to uninstall, then right click the Start Button and select "Installed apps" or "Programs". There, you can scroll or search for RAGE Multiplayer and uninstall it. Once that's done, make sure that the RageMP folder is deleted entirely. After that, you can download [https://rage.mp/ RageMP] and run through the installer again.

[[File:Uninstalling RageMP.png|alt=Uninstalling RageMP via Windows Installed App|700x700px]]

=== Step 4: ===
If the above didn't work, you will then need to verify your game files through whatever platform you run Grand Theft Auto V through.

Steam:

* Find the game in your library
* Right click the game, or click the "Cog" icon and select "Properties"
* In the pop up window, select Installed Files
* Click on "Verify integrity of game files"
* Wait for the scan to conclude and Steam to down the files
* Launch GTA V and run through any installers
* Launch RageMP and connect to the server

Sometimes even with verifying the game, installing any mods for Single Player could have been lost or missed when removing them, or there's a corrupted file the verification process did not pick up on.

While Windows does try to do it's best to close down all programs associated with the parent program, some processes can get stuck indefinitely, and cause another instance of the same main application to fail to initialize. A simple full restart will clear this out from RAM and kill off any processes still running on the CPU.

=== Have you installed any new mods? ===
If you've installed any new mods, uninstall them and see if the game will launch. If so, refer back to the instructions for your mod and ensure you're adding the appropriate files to the RageMP folder and only applicable files to the GTA 5 Game Directory.

=== Do you have mods installed from other servers; FiveM, custom overlays, custom plugins, custom mods non-graphical ===
If you're using any FiveM, GTA Singleplayer, or GTAO mods installed directly into your GTA 5 folder, uninstall them and try launching the game. Some mods will play not load with RageMP fine, others may cause issues, particularly scripthook.dll, which you should not have installed to play.

=== Is it just a black screen? ===
This issue is a bit harder to determine what the outcome is, but commonly if someone is using OneDrive, and are backing up their "Documents" folder, this can cause an issue with Windows not having the files fully sync'd on their system. To check open up Windows Explorer, in the Quick Finder on the left side, click on the cloud icon "Name - Personal", then "Documents" and scroll down until you see a folder called "Rockstar Games". There, right click the folder and make sure the option "Always keep on this device" is checked off. This will force Windows to always keep these files on your computer as opposed to uploading it to OneDrive to keep them in sync.

== Steps ==

=== Step 1: ===
Restart your PC. If you skimmed through this guide to come to the steps, then restart your PC. It's the least time-consuming thing that you can try before moving on to the next steps.

=== Step 2: ===
Open up your RageMP folder and delete your <code>client_resources</code> folder. Sometimes the files can be hashed wrong or corrupted, and deleting the client resources folder can fix the issue of the game not loading. If you installed the RageMP at the default location, then it'll be under <code>C:\RageMP</code>. Highlight the folder and hit delete. Then launch RageMP as you normally would and connect to the ECRP server. The client will automatically start downloading the server's assets again, so you won't have to do anything.
[[File:RageMP Folder.png|center|677x677px|Windows Explorer window showing RageMP]]

=== Step 3: ===
Uninstall RageMP completely. There are two ways to do it. You can delete everything in the RageMP folder but updater.exe or you can use Windows uninstaller to uninstall RageMP.

==== Deleting Files: ====
If you are deleting the everything in the folder, make sure you do not delete the updater.exe file. After deleting it, empty your Recycling Bin, and then double click the updater.exe file to start reinstalling the latest RageMP client files. After that, you can try to connect to ECRP and see if the game loads.

==== Uninstalling via Windows: ====
If you want to use Windows to uninstall, then right click the Start Button and select "Installed apps" or "Programs". There, you can scroll or search for RAGE Multiplayer and uninstall it. Once that's done, make sure that the RageMP folder is deleted entirely. After that, you can download RageMP and run through the installer again.

[[File:Uninstalling RageMP.png|alt=Uninstalling RageMP via Windows Installed App|700x700px]]

=== Step 4: ===
If the above didn't work, you will then need to verify your game files through whatever platform you run Grand Theft Auto V through.

Steam:

* Find the game in your library
* Right click the game, or click the "Cog" icon and select "Properties"
* In the pop up window, select Installed Files
* Click on "Verify integrity of game files"
* Wait for the scan to conclude and Steam to down the files
* Launch GTA V and run through any installers
* Launch RageMP and connect to the server

[[File:Properties in Steam.png|alt=Properties in Steam|frameless]] [[File:Verify Files in Steam.png|alt=Verify Files in Steam|frameless|438x438px]]

==== Epic Games: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games, however you can follow the directions outlined here.

==== Rockstar Launcher: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run through this on Rockstar Launcher, however you can follow the directions outlined here.

=== Step 5: ===
This is a big annoying step, uninstalling GTA V entirely. Sometimes even with verifying the game, installing any mods for Single Player could have been lost or missed when removing them, or there's a corrupted file the verification process did not pick up on. With that, you'll need to fully uninstall the game and reinstall it.

==== Steam: ====

* Locate the game in your Library
* Right click the game, or click the "Cog" icon, select "Manage" and select "Uninstall"
* Let Steam run through the entire Uninstall process
* Afterwards, you can reinstall the game
* You may need to run through Step 3 again with RageMP to make sure that Rage detects where the game is installed at.

==== Epic Games: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games, however you can follow the directions outlined here.

==== Rockstar Launcher: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run through this on Rockstar Launcher.

=== Step 6: ===
This last step to get the game to work for you, would be uninstalling Rockstar Games Launcher and Rockstar Games Social Club. Right click the Windows Start button and select "Installed Apps" or "Programs" and look for "Rockstar Games Launcher". On Windows 11, you can search for the name of this application. Click on the application and start the uninstall progress.

IMAGE

When prompted, you want to make sure you check off "Remove saved Social Club profile data" AND "Remove currently installed game data from your computer". This ensures that when you go to reinstall Rockstar Games Launcher, that it'll be a fresh new copy.

IMAGE

After uninstalling it, check the "Installed Apps" or "Programs" and see if Rockstar Games Social Club is installed. If it is, please uninstall it as well. There should be no checkbox options to select from, so you can go through the entire process of uninstalling it.

==== Steam: ====
After you uninstall Rockstar Games Launcher and Rockstar Games Social Club, located Grand Theft Auto V in your game library, and click on "Play". As the Launcher and Social Club are uninstalled, this will prompt you to install both applications automatically from Steam. Make sure you follow the steps and have both programs installed. After that, Steam MAY close the game due to it taking too long to start, or launch you into the game into Storymode. You want to make sure you load the game all the way to Storymode before you try and connect to Eclipse Roleplay, as the game needs to generate the necessary settings files for the game.

Once you have loaded into Storymode, you can go ahead and close the game and try to connect to ECRP through RageMP.

==== Epic Games: ====
At this time, I don't have screenshots or anything on how to run it through Epic games.

==== Rockstar Launcher: ====
You will need to manually download the Rockstar Games Launcher, which you can find [https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/rockstar-games-launcher here] on Rockstars own website. This should also install the Social Club as well.

== Still not working? ==
If none of the above instructions have worked AND you've read through each step, please make a Technical Support ticket through our ECRP Discord. You may be asked to provide photos of the issue you're encountering and telling us what you've all tried will help eliminate repeating steps. To share images of the issue, you'll need to upload them to an image hosting site like [https://imgur.com/ Imgur], [https://imgbb.com/ ImgBB], or otherwise and paste the URL into the Discord ticket.
