[Fix/Guide] RAGEMP not launching GTA 5 / GTA5.exe process stuck or frozen


Recommended Posts

One of the most annoying issues that I've dealt with was RageMP not starting up no matter how many times I launch it, and upon inspecting the process it's frozen at some random RAM usage which can result in nothing but killing the process itself via Task Manager. I heard people say the problem is based on dated systems or PC not meeting requirements. The issue itself although hard to explain seems to be not related to the compatibility but to the RageMP itself. The process appears frozen or stuck at loading for one reason or another, but in fact the process is paused. And the solution for it seems rather simple. Just for your information, this solution might not be 100% fixing all the issues, it might not even work for you, I post it because it worked for me. I take no responsibility for if your game is broken after applying this method, although I doubt it could since it's not interfering with game files or anything.

Step by step guide how to resume the frozen GTA5.exe process.
1. Download Process Hacker for your OS or any advanced task managing software that allows you check the processes and pause/terminate/resume them. I don't have any suggestions as I only used the Process Hacker so far.


2. Launch Process Hacker, it's very similar to task manager, leave the software running in the background.

3. Launch RageMP window, and select a server from the list.

4. After a while the game should initialize, you will notice a PlayGTA5.exe tree, with SocialClubHelper.exe, Launcher.exe and GTA5.exe. When you notice GTA5.exe becomes stuck on any memory usage and pauses from further loading and doesn't go further, press right click on the process and you should have 'Resume' on the list.

5. The game from now on should load properly, if it gets stuck again just resume the process once more, until the game fully loads.

I haven't seen a solution like that for the problem anywhere on RageMP forums or in google and I've been dealing with it for quite a while, so I hope it helps you fixing your game and saves you from this irritating issue.
