Came to give an update since I am pretty much done the campaign now. I still have seen no issues and now must say that this is a must have mod.
Can you make it so it doesn't skip those 3 stages of going into the sky? but just have it load faster i guess..Also if u have both characters on mount chiliad and switch between them it takes very long to switch, can u fix this? its prob game relate issue
@MadHunter i will look into this.
@MadHunter Yes, the delay when switching between characters located on top of Mount Chiliad is a game related issue and not a problem caused by the mod. (This occurs on both the Steam version and the PS5 version afaik.)
@backforce Well since you're still kinda active could u make a mod that is compatible with "Watch your death" mod? The problem of that mod is that when you toggle to activate the wasted screen ( acts as a delayer of death screen like in xbox360/ps3 versions ) it triggers the "FADING Away" sequence and not the actual Wasted screen, well it does but it does trigger the fading away sequence too early resulting in a too quick wasted screen. Could u make a mod that is either compatible with it ( im guessing its more easy ) for manipulating timer values?
@OneTrueFalafel my game just crashes when i switch charector with or wsithout this mod why?
I get "Err_fil_pack_3" when attempting to run any version of this mod. Any advice?
@TheDylanJG likely other mods interfering or an expired mods folder. never encountered this myself. try verifying game and reinstalling asi manager in openiv
no matter what mod i install if i mod the game even a bit everytime my game always crashes when i switch charectors anyone know a fix?
@Millennia Inc , verify your game

Nah jk, it's a cool mod.
Any way of making it possible to mod this without the use of OpenIV?
good
@piano_man no
Bro, sometimes during missions when the character is forced to switch, it freezes instead of switching from the sky.
@pkh93 are you playing on gta v legacy or enhanced? what mission does it occur on? and do you have other mods installed?
@backforce The version is Legacy, and the issue happens during the mission where Franklin follows the O'Neil brothers and the game force-switches to Trevor and Michael as they head to the helipad. I have several mods installed, but everything worked fine before I installed this.
@backforce I think it doesn’t work when the character switch is forced by the game, like during the O'Neil brothers mission, friend.
@backforce I hope you understand even if it sounds awkward because I'm explaining it through a translator, my friend.
@pkh93 thanks i'll look into it
@pkh93 a temporary fix is entering the story mission as the character that the game forces you to switch to. i'm working on fixing it for the next update.
