RDR2 fails to launch through RPH

[TomUK 0]

Hello,

 

Decided to re-install RDR2 on my PC and give RDRFR a go. Fresh install through the Rockstar Games Launcher, ran the game after installation completed and worked fine.

 

I then downloaded & installed RDRFR into the main directory as specified by the readme. Checked the RPH version (downloaded the most recent from their website and installed that). This is where the issues begin.

 

Every time I try & launch the game through RPH it's crashing stating "bad antivirus or insufficient permissions" or something along those lines. Rockstar Games Launcher shows the game as "Starting..." and a black screen appears. It's at this point the black screen disappears and the RPH window appears saying the message above. I've tried running RPH as administrator and still the issue persists. I've also added an exception for the entire game directory through my antivirus and also tried disabling it all together - still no luck.

 

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix the above please do comment and let me know. Becoming rather frustrating now and I can't figure it out.

Have you tried launching the game first, then RPH?

Does the same thing to me tried both methods and disabled antivirus made administrator rights etc. Only thing that works is to restart my computer after it gives me that same error and it usually starts up.
