Hello fellow Argonathians, After having spent most of my time being busy with IRL-related things I had decided to join the V server just to kill time and see how it is doing. However, since a short time (I guess a new Rage:MP update during my absence? Rage took considerably longer to load) the game will no longer load. Singleplayer and GTA:O work fine though. I have tried reinstalling the client and running with and without administrative privileges and tried playing with the compatibility settings (just like we used to do for the old IVMP T3 client) but to no success… This is exactly how the game launches and performs when starting Argonath RPG server, mind that it is running as administrator. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3d7fIxo9os](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3d7fIxo9os) The only thing that could clarify why the game isn’t working any longer is either a broken Rage:MP update or my recent hardware change (switching from Intel to Ryzen) but I have seen others having no issues playing GTA on Ryzen so I am kinda out of ideas what could cause this issue. ---

Does GTA V / GTA Online work on their own? ---

> [@jcstodds post:2](#): > > Does GTA V / GTA Online work on their own? Just like I said in the main topic post, yes. I can happily play story mode and Online without any hitches. The issue lays with Rage:MP not willing to load as shown in the video for whatever reason. ---

Unfortunately, disabling the overlay did not make it work. In fact, it crashed at exactly the same point as shown in the video. I am wondering if something is wrong with a specific file or something because this issue is perfectly repeatable. ---

Make sure that ragemp is installed in c folder, as it have sometimes permission problems, btw dont disable the overlay close totally edit: personally to me sometimes crashes for no reason, so try to open it 2 or tre times, and when crashes open it by ressing play dont close rockstar game ---
