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\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Raiden to avoid interference from antivirus.
• Install the launcher in a dedicated directory, for example, C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\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\%USERNAME%\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 (your game will crash upon injection if there is no key binded to your account).
• No membership status displayed upon login indicates a standard membership, which is normal.

#6. Settings Reset

• Delete the settings.xml file in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V to reset local game settings, if needed.

#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 the Raiden launcher are listed. The launcher name changes, so these rules will need to be applied to a folder in order to support auto-updating.
• 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.
