Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Raiden Controls?
  • F12 & *: Open/Close Raiden
  • F7: Teleport to waypoint
  • Numberpad 0: Spawn last vehicle spawned with Raiden
  • Numberpad 1: Refill health, armour, and repair vehicle.
  • Pause/break + Space: Unload Raiden
  • Alt+F4: Exit game
  • Why does Raiden make it so I can't get into vehicles or shoot my guns? Why does/doesn't the menu disable controls?

    Depending on the problem presented in the question, there could be a few reason. Raiden will disable a fine-tuned control set to allow the game to be playable to the best degree in the default control-set. Sometimes updates, especially ones that may affect the config may knock these out of whack or not resepect the setting. In this case navigate to setting and choose the desired controlset and save your config again.

    Control set overview:
    1. Default: Allow movement controls + right click to aim and shoot.
    2. Allow all: Allow movement controls + change camera angles and POV, interact with Cellphone, etc.
    3. Allow none: Disables all controls.
    4. Allow keyboard: Only allow keyboard input.
    5. NativeUI: Classic control disable style for menus prior to 2018.
    My game is crashing upon injection, what can I do?

    1. Game Mode and Antivirus Settings:

    • Ensure your game is set to windowed borderless mode.
    • Add an exception for "ImGUILauncher.exe" in Windows Security settings and C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Raiden to avoid interference from antivirus.
    • Install the launcher in a dedicated directory, for example, C:\Users\\Downloads\Raiden.

    2. Malware and Antivirus Software:

    • Run a scan with Malwarebytes to ensure your system is free from malware.
    • Note that we recommend using Windows Security or Malwarebytes as most antivirus programs are invasive and can often slow down your machine.

    3. Third-Party Overlays and Software:

    • Disable third-party overlays like Discord Game Overlay, AMD Overlay, or Xbox Game Bar.
    • Avoid using AutoHotkey or similar programs as they may interfere with gameplay.

    4. NativeUI and Logo Visibility:

    • If using NativeUI and the Raiden logo is not visible, delete all items in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Raiden and initiate a download of assets through the launcher.

    5. Membership Status:

    • 'Limited' membership status requires redeeming either a standard or an ultimate license to inject outside of story mode.
    • No membership status displayed upon login indicates a standard membership, which is normal.

    6. Settings Reset:

    7. Game Focus and Resource Management:

    • Disable "pause game on focus loss" to prevent interference with the injection process.
    • Enable features only as needed to avoid resource consumption and potential game crashes.

    8. Game Freezing and Injection Timing:

    • Occasional game freezes during gameplay are normal, indicating the menu is catching up with your game.
    • Ensure you're injecting when your game is fully loaded to avoid potential issues.

    Additional Tips:

    • Review Windows Security's protection history and click "Restore" if any events involving "ImGUILauncher" are listed.
    • Keep your launcher updated by downloading the latest version from Raiden's official website.
    • To redeem your key, visit this link and enter your key in the box labeled License activation.

    Following these steps should help resolve common injection issues with the Raiden Launcher. If problems persist, consider submitting a support ticket for further assistance.

    Why might my antivirus flag Raiden as a Trojan or Virus?

    Our protection Software, VMProtect.

    Some malware is sophisticated enough to avoid both signature and heuristic detection. As a result, if an encrypted file seems even vaguely suspicious, some antivirus software will purposely open and run it in a secure area inside the software called a "sandbox". This is one reason why encrypted and protected programs can be detected as viruses or trojans.

    Why is my ImGuiLauncher crashing?

    The launcher is multithreaded. If your computer OS is too old, or you do not have the latest Microsoft C++ redistributables, your machine might be panicking lol.
    Also make sure that your Launcher is the latest version.
    1) Open GTA5.exe
    2) Run ImGUILauncher.exe as administrator
    3) Disable antivirus (refer to antivirus documentation)
    4) Download redistributables (if you have done this before you do not need to repeat this step): https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
    5) Go into story mode
    6) Check auto-inject (when you are ready to inject) in the launcher and save selection (optional). (This checkbox is like the inject button so you will have to check this every time you want to inject). Ensure nativeUI is not selected to prevent possible issues if this doesn't work.
    7) If you have low in-game FPS or issues getting into GTA online delete config using the menu or navigating to %appdata% > Roaming > Raiden > GTA5 and find the Config.ini file then delete the file from the directory.

    I need help navigating the dashboard

    Learning to use the Raiden dashboard is shown in this video, which was created by @Royal_Administration#3551

    My menu keeps crashing.

    Raiden may crash if Pause game on focus loss is enabled in game settings. This will freeze a part of the game Raiden relies on to keep running in a stable state. It is suggested you disable Pause Game on Focus Loss. Using Windowed borderless may also help as it is better for your experience. Deleting the Configuration file located in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Raiden

    If the solutions above do not resolve your issue, let GTA 5 run in the background for five minutes prior to injecting, then inject.

    I lost my key and can't find it?

    Your license key can be found on account page. If you've forgotten your login, you can email [email protected] with your License key, username, email or previously linked Discord ID, or even your IP address and we'll restore access to your account.

    Why is my Raiden launcher stuck at 75%

    Raiden requires some assets in-order to run correctly. These assets are downloaded while your Raiden is injected, and there are fallbacks coded into the menu. The easiest solution is to click download assets. The total size is about 148mb. Which can take up to five minutes depending on your internet connection.

    When I try and auth it says HWIDN/IP invalid. How often can I reset my HWIDN?
    HWIDN Reset Cooldown

    You are able to reset your HWIDN once every seven (7) days.

    HWIDN Login Errors

    These errors are caused by using more than one machine, or something like your RAM has changed in your computer. These errors could even be seen after a PC refresh or update.

    Cannot access path or invalid directory issues
    Windows defender has "quarentined" Raiden launcher.

    Microsoft made the worst antivirus software possible. It will re-enable, delete exclusions, and reset itself after each PC reboot. Basically you just open Windows Security>Virus and Threat Protection>Manage settings>Real-time protection - OFF, scroll to the bottom, and locate Exclusions>Add>Locate where client.exe is downloaded and set that exe as excluded.

    What is ImGui and NativeUI?
    ImGui NativeUI
    NativeUI

    ImGui uses Direct3D to render the menu. NativeUI used in-game functions, such as the ones that render the interaction menu to draw Raiden.

    I logged into the launcher and I'm still at the login screen when I press the login button.

    Cloudflare blocked your IP from Raiden servers. Try using a VPN, if that doesn't solve your issue please open a support ticket!

    Can I use Lua Scripts with Raiden?

    Raiden does support Lua script creations with custom lua. They are not cross-compatible so not other application scripts will work. You're able to execute natives, excluding the namespace or class the native is placed within.

    Does Raiden work with FiveM?

    Grand Theft Auto V and FiveM are not the same application, and function diffrent from each other. Raiden is not supported on FiveM, although we welcome you to try.

    Injection failed. (Launcher)

    Ensure the game is OPENED.

    Your launcher will be run as administrator by default, so ensure the game is as well.

    Make sure you've got the latest version of the Raiden Launcher.

    Raiden will not allow injection on older releases of the Raiden launcher.
    How safe is Raiden?

    Raiden is just as safe as your play style.

    No menu is 100% safe, and Raiden is no execption. If you make it obvious you're modding, you probably won't last long. Although Raiden automatically blocks in-game reports, someone could still record you cheating and send it to the developers of the game(s). There is also a way they are able to detech mass transactions, so going zany with money and rank edits is not recomeneded. It is also why money gun and RP gun are limited features with the ability for us to disable them at anytime.
    What is a 'HWIDN'?

    A hardware identification number which may also be known as a machine hash, HWID, HID or HWIDN, is used to identify your specific machine. In Raiden it is used to make sure you're not sharing your Raiden account with other people. The HWID address for your computer may change if you upgrade/downgrade or change PC parts. You are able to reset your HWID every seven days on Raiden.

    "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"

    Please try using a VPN, and ensuring your antivirus is disabled or has an exception properly set for the Raiden files and directory.

    How often does Raiden update?

    Raiden is constantly updating. Although not all the changes are immediately visable, our testers are hard at work testing Raidens next big things. You can tell when Raiden was last updated by reading the console, log, or the injection notification. You can report bugs to our Discord and track them at https://raiden.gg/bug-tracker
