Fix 2: Add Exclusions to Windows Defender / Antivirus

This is the most effective fix for persistent Error 1180. Title: RAGE Plugin Hook v1

1. Open Windows Security > Virus & threat protection.
2. Click Manage settings > Add or remove exclusions.
3. Add the following folders as exclusions (not just the .exe):
   • Your entire GTA V directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V)
   • The RagePluginHook.exe file specifically.
   • Your Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles folder.
4. After adding exclusions, re-download a fresh RagePluginHook.exe and try again.

4. Install / Repair Required Runtimes

• Visual C++ Redistributables (all-in-one): Download the latest from Microsoft (2015–2022 x64 and x86).
• .NET Framework 4.8 (or later) – Windows 10/11 usually has it, but run the repair tool from Microsoft.
• DirectX runtime: Run the DirectX Web Installer (RPH requires legacy DirectX 9 components).

Installation

1. Download the plugin: Obtain the Rage Plugin Hook 1180 from a reputable source. Make sure to download the correct version for your game version and architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
2. Extract the plugin: Unzip the downloaded file to a directory on your system, such as C:\FiveM\plugins\rage-plugin-hook-1180.
3. Configure FiveM: Open your FiveM configuration file (usually config.cfg or FiveM.cfg) and add the following line: plugins: ["C:/FiveM/plugins/rage-plugin-hook-1180/hook.dll"] (replace the path with the actual location of the plugin).
4. Restart FiveM: Save the configuration file and restart FiveM.

2. Conflicting Scripts

Some plugins do not play well together. For example, a traffic control mod and a realistic arrest mod might both try to claim the same AI ped's "fiber" simultaneously. When one releases it improperly, error 1180 fires. Fix 2: Add Exclusions to Windows Defender /

The Impact on LSPDFR

The most immediate beneficiaries of RAGE Plugin Hook 1180 were the LSPDFR players. LSPDFR is a massive mod that turns the game into a police simulator. Because it relies deeply on RAGE Plugin Hook to manipulate police AI, traffic, and game events, it is the first thing to break after a GTA update.

With the release of RPH 1180, the LSPDFR community regained access to their custom patrols. This version was crucial because it allowed third-party developers—those who make plugins for LSPDFR like UltimateBackup or StopThePed—to update their own scripts knowing the foundation was stable.
