RAGE Multiplayer won’t launch – "working folder is not allowed"

[Serhiy77]

Hello,

 

I'm experiencing an issue when trying to launch RAGE Multiplayer. I get the following error message:

 

> "RAGE Multiplayer was launched from C:\Windows\System32 as working folder which is not allowed. Please reinstall RAGE Multiplayer to another folder."

 

 

 

What I've already tried:

 

Uninstalled RAGE MP, cleaned registry entries, and reinstalled it in C:\RAGEMP.

 

Checked the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE to ensure there are no incorrect entries.

 

Ran RAGE MP as administrator.

 

Disabled antivirus and Windows Defender.

 

Verified system file integrity using sfc /scannow and DISM.

 

Updated GPU drivers to 472.12 (GTX 650).

 

Disabled all background processes, including FaceIt anti-cheat.

 

 

Despite all these attempts, the issue persists. GTA V runs fine on its own, but RAGE MP fails to launch.

 

Is there a way to fix this issue?

 

Thanks for your help!
