An issue that a lot of players have been having lately is that their anti virus software is flagging a RAGEMP file as a potential threat. This is a false positive that happens because the files in question act like a virus. The files are injected into the game which allows you to play on RAGEMP servers and load custom scripts that developers create!

 

You will need to follow a few steps to add the RAGEMP directory to your antivirus' exclusions so that the files aren't flagged anymore. This might even give you a small boost in performance!

 

Steps for Windows Defender (Windows 10) :

  • Move your mouse down to your taskbar and right click on the shield icon (reference)
    • If you can't see a shield icon, you need to click on the little arrow next to your icons which will expand the view
  • Click on "View security dashboard" (reference)
  • Click on "Virus & threat protection" (reference)
  • Click on "Virus & threat protection settings" (reference)
  • Scroll all the way down (reference)
  • Click on "Add or remove exclusions" under the "Exclusions" category (reference)
  • Click on "Add and exclusion" (reference)
    • Select "Folder" in the dropdown menu
  • Select your RAGEMP directory and click on "Select Folder" in the bottom right
  • Click on "Yes" when the "User Account Control" prompt comes up
  • You're good to go! It is recommended to either reinstall RAGEMP or run the updater.exe file found in your RAGEMP directory to recover the lost files.

 

The steps shouldn't vary too much depending on your anti virus software which allows you to add an exclusion easily and continue playing.

 

If this didn't fix your issue or you're having other issues with RAGEMP, I recommend checking out the following thread found on their forums: https://rage.mp/forums/topic/1816-client-troubleshooting-tips-fixes/
