I can only presume there is a version check done between the Social Club and the game but the crash seems to happen long before I'd expect the Social Club to initialise. I have even tried duplicating my very latest clean version and rolling that back and that still fails. I would have thought that would just be forced straight to the new version after installation. I'm not sure how that would work either, if you have the retail version, the oldest launcher is the one you would have to use on the DVD's themselves.

It crashes almost immediately though, so it's not SHVDN mod related. As it is, the latest version does still work with the Launcher Bypass, so it must be something else causing it. The biggest concern is that all my older versions are now redundant because of this crash and I don't know what's causing it. I don't see any other posts about it though and I don't quite understand why.įurther Edit: Seems I was too dumb to think of the simple idea of just removing the existing scripts file and then creating the scripts folder, that actually works.

meaning you can't use any script mods with the latest version. There is a file in the game folder called scripts, most windows users will already be aware that you can't have a folder and a file with the same name, so this file prevents you from creating a folder called scripts. As long as you don't try and go online, I don't see what the problem is.Įdit: This is the first time I have tried to mod the latest version and I have just noticed something. Maybe Rockstar have put some version blocking in place, which is BS if so. Obviously, a clean version isn't much use for modding.Įdit: Just to confirm, every other version apart from the absolute latest version now crashes using the Launcher Bypass mod but it still works on the latest version.

For anyone who writes script mods, this is an essential part of your setup, I run 6 fully legit versions spanning from 1032 to 1868 and now the only one that works, is the clean version that runs through the Rockstar Launcher. Just trying to find out if a consequence of Rockstar's recent screw-up, is the loss of the Launcher Bypass mod. Since that update, all versions I had that were using the Launcher Bypass mod, now crash on startup.

This evening there was a Launcher and Social Club update, taking the versions to v324560, 1.0.20.241 and 2.0.5.4 as shown in the Launcher. This afternoon I was writing some script mods with no problem.
