@K4miKaZe So I just have to copy the files by themselves over to the mod folder? I planned on doing that before I started modding anyways. Sorry to give you a hard time earlier. Maybe openiv could use an update sometime soon :I

@Coolmanax I never said big mods were an issue, me personally I’m just sticking with smaller mods. A lot of people are having an issue with this update. It was a issue for me but all I did was delete my game and start from scratch and added mods 1 by 1 and I finally was able to find the mod that was causing my game to crash on loadin. I recommend you re install if you didn’t already

@BigWhiskey Ah I see. I will definitely try it!

was wondering if anyone could help me out please. I'm running an older version of gta 5 from dec update and haven't updated since I didn't have enough space to make a mods folder at the time, and modded my original game and don't want an update to overwrite the changes. So I was wondering if there's any point to update my script hooks/ scripthook v without updating my game?

@littlefilms What older version of gta v you're still using, The 1.0.1365.1 or the much older 1.0.1290.1? If you're still using any of those to play and don't want to update to the newest patch you will need this mod installed to prevent it from upgrading automatically at launch > https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/no-gtavlauncher. I still recommend you to upgrade to the latest 1.0,1493.0 and upgrade to the latest ScriptHookV anyways for a variety of reasons. One main reason to upgrade has to do with playing story mode missions in single player. If you like doing story mode missions, like I do, then it would be recommended to update because if you don't and keep playing an older version of gta v you'll notice that some of the missions just freeze up, like stop working half way and can't complete them. It's alway advisable to create a "mod" folder and use that to mod your game. Never modify the original files in your directory. If you did modded your original game without a "mod"s folder did you make a back-up copy of your original gta v?. If you did not make a copy of your original gta 5 then you have two options: You can either leave it as is and install the "No GTAVLauncher" mod above (you won't be able to play on line though) -OR- You can fix your current game by removing any mods you installed, upgrading to the new 1.0.1493.0 patch, upgrading to the latest ScriptHookV then creating a "mod"s folder in the directory and then re-installing all your mods back in. It's your choice.

cheers dude, I think I'm on version 1.0.1290.1,
I'm already using GTAVLauncherBypass to play offline. I only modified my raw game files at the time because I didn't have enough space to create a mods folder, basically another 70 gb and am using mods like this: https://www.gta5-mods.com/misc/gta-v-re-sized
which changed my game, as well as weapon retextures etc, so updating my game will undo these changes that I can't really be asked to redo tbh. So I was wondering if it's okay to have an older version, 1.0.1290.1, whilst using the most recent scripthooks?

@littlefilms If your old version of gta v is still working and it doesn't crash when you launch it with the GTAVLauncherBypass then I don't think there's a need to upgrade your old ScriptHookV for patch 1.0.1290.1 however if you decide to upgrade in the future then you will definitely have to upgrade your ScriptHookV because the old one you have right now won't work with the latest patch plus you would have to transfer whatever mods go into the update.rpf as well.

@JAM102970
cheers dude, I was just wondering if there was any point updating my scripthooks even with an older version of Gta, in case I wanted to use any upcoming mods which required the latest scripthook. Basically, do you think it's okay to run an older version of the game whilst using the latest scripthook to play recent mods?

@littlefilms I don't see why not, I guess you can install the newer version of ScriptHookV and use it with the old version of your game if you want to but, I've personally never done that myself before. I only update ScriptHookV when I upgrade to a newer version of gta v. Normally ScriptHookV is modified to work with succeeding patches as they come, new modifications are made to it. I assume the newer version of ScriptHookV 1.0.1493.0 works with your older version of gta v but, like I said, I've never done that myself. Test it yourself, pull the old ScriptHookV you currently have installed out and temporarily save it in a folder somewhere, just in case you'll need to install it back in, and install the new ScriptHookV and launch the game, see what happens. If your game crashes it is certainly the newer ScriptHookV not being compatible with your older 1.0.1290.1 version of gta v, if it doesn't crash then ScriptHookV is compatible with all preceding patches.

@JAM102970
appreciate it dude!

I need the ini "Version" where can I download it?

Does anyone have any idea when this will be updated? I never backed up my files so I can't do anything with an old version of .NET. Also can anyone teach me how to backup my files so I can enjoy mods without waiting for updates? I'm using the Steam version of GTA 5 please help me so many awesome mods need .NET and I don't have it!

@Cyber_Guy .Net is working very fine but its true that there are some (not much) mods that are not working. That is not a .net issue by itself, its a outdated mod problem. If you want go back to previous gta version first have a clean copy of gta (you can update it to the last update). Make sure its clean without any mods and start it to be sure its running fine. After that download my downgrade package, it makes the game go to prev version of gta, the v1.43 (launcher still stays at 1.44) but mods are running fine. You can find the download link on my previous comments, click on see 20 more comments and it should be there. There is a readme in the package, follow it word to word to not make any mistakes. Also there is an explanation how to switch between 1.44 for online and 1.43 for offline mode, remember that you can only play 1.43 in offline.

Essential for PC!
Great work guys!

@K4miKaZe Alright well I just downloaded it and I finished following the instructions very carefully. I'm going to run the game and try to install some mods and tell you if they work. Wish me luck! :)

@K4miKaZe Alright I appear to have a slight problem. When I try to open the game, the Rockstar social club sign in pops up. After I put in my email and all that, it asks me for an ACTIVATION CODE. They think I don't own GTA 5! Now I can't even play the game anymore! What do i do?????

@Cyber_Guy Thats very strange, if you have followed my instructions then you have made the backup, just replace it with your backed up files. Are you using steam or rockstar social version? Maybe steam updates on startup

Ohhh be sure to open and close for first time the game without the -scOfflineOnly command. Rockstar asks sometimes for activation and with this command it cant verify your game. I have expained it on the readme. Just open it without the command and wait some seconds, when it tells that you are connected force close the launcher (to avoid the update) and add the scOfflineOnly command. Or just create two shortcuts, one with and another without the offline command. Maybe this was your problem. For me it asks for verification every 2-3 days and i have to start it without the command line (only the launcher for some seconds).Dont add any mods before making sure it works fine, when it fully starts you should have the game version on the bottom right corner (not on the launcher, on the loading game when it goes direct to single player)

Game rusn fine,smooth at 60fps on my pc with scripthook and a couple of trainer. As soon as i put this script hookv/net, the game slows down to 30 fps, no matter the setting, no matter the pc (i have an i7 with 16 gb ram and a geforce gtx 1070).why?? is there a fix for this??

@Solstar And which mods are you installing for .net? If you have only .net without any .net mods it simply does nothing as there is nothing to load (no .net scripts).You should be careful, after every update its better to mod gta from scratch starting from installing scripthook and scripthooknet without mods and test it. Then install mods 1 by 1 as on that last update there are some mods that are not working or not working at all, some has little bugs, etc... So you can find out the real mod that is causing the problems.
