Alex106 Oh alright i figured I'm assuming it's caused by a newer build of GTA 5 but then again i'm not sure.

@Alex106 by unplayable i mean like it would crash when i get into the game
like for maybe 2 seconds
i already fixed it, though by reinstalling the game

@waffl7 No it's much older, since the release of the Gunrunning DLC actually

@Alex106 Ah alright do you know which version doesn't have this issue so i could downgrade to it? I just really hate this bug because it ruins the experience for me with the mods that i've been secretly working on and haven't released yet because i'm mostly waiting until they're completely finished. I also noticed that franklin for some reason does not wear a mask during the big score heist with the Obvious approach and this also is annoying because I'm not sure if it's a save issue but i believe it could be since i downloaded a save right before the mission so i could test it for a mod that i'm still working on but it's clear that it's not a mod related issue but either a bug or save issue.

@waffl7 You would need to downgrade back to the build 791, 877 or 944 (which are really old)
As for Franklin, it's the same bug as with NPCs, but reversed. Any "DECL" component is invisible for the three main characters, and the two MP characters
This happens when playing in offline mode and it's not related to the save games or mods

@Alex106 Alright i appreciate the response and I guess it is shitty if the issue with franklins mask is related to playing in offline mode, Especially since it's a lot more enjoyable for single player modding and not having to see the annoying rockstar pop ups everytime i launch the game. But as for the other issue I'm not sure where i'll be able to find one of the other builds but I still am probably going to try because it's annoying that rockstar manages to fuck up their old game somehow even more after several updates let alone for Story mode. smh (Also you were right about the decal issue being related to playing in offline mode but if that also ties in with franklins heist mask not appearing in the big score mission during the obvious approach that is absolute garbage.)

Do I only need to install the Update.rpf OIV package; or would I need to also install the spfixes folder contents too?

Also, do I install the OVI package in mods folder or the root game folder.

@GTA5FGGG_REAL You need to install both and yes, in the mods folder

does this work?

Hi Alex, can this be used alongside "GameplayFixesV" by SuleMareVientu?

@supergamer777 If you mean with the Enhanced version, yes
@Arthandas Yes

@Alex106 Do you work on weapon fixes or small vanilla edits anymore? Because from what I have seen, the carbine rifle and assault shotgun in the next gen versions has different iron sights compared to the xbox360 and ps3 versions, where the sights are a bit larger and better looking imo. I dunno if you would be able to make those, but it's entirely upto you since it is already a lot of work for to handle big projects like these and gives no time for minor mods.

@Default_Username I could, but it would cause the view in first person to be obstructed, so it's not really worth IMO

@Alex106 totally makes sense. Although before closing the conversation, I definitely would suggest taking the next gen iron sights and modifying them to heavily resemble the old gen ones. What I have noticed is that Rockstar not only changed the placement or alignment of the sights in the next gen versions, but they also basically trimmed some of the areas of the iron sights to make them look smaller.

Taking the old gen models themselves and restoring them seems like a very bad idea as you said, because they might actually be obstructive due to alignment differences.

By the way, this is what I mean to say about the iron sights being "trimmed". https://postimg.cc/Bt7Q3z7t

For lazies, can only DLC files be applied ?.. or is there at least a few important/mandatory files to add to update RPF ?

For Enhancced btw

@Klemc I updated only the DLC pack

@Alex106 Hey mate, sorry to bother you but I wanted to ask some info on a particular mod related to small weapon edits. I have seen many gameplay videos and still do in which the regular SMG's stock is equipped on the SMG MKII. The mod is quite old as it dates back to at least late 2017.

Here is one example, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uNlM0UlmqZI (appears at 6:55) and here is the most recent one https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DXPRDQa-Nw8 (appears at 0:25).

If you have seen this in the past or have known it, let me know. I have looked for this mod everywhere and can't find it. Thanks.

@Default_Username I never saw that mod, sorry

can i download this mod latest gta 5 version and when i ask chat gpt for this mod this is ok so this is what they say : If your GTA 5 is the latest Steam (original) version, then Fixes & Improvements 5.2 Legacy is not recommended for you.

Here’s why 👇

⚠️ Why not use the Legacy version:

The Legacy version is only made for old GTA 5 builds (like 1.0.2802.0 and older).

The new Steam version already includes many of those fixes from Rockstar.

Installing the Legacy version can cause crashes, missing textures, or conflicts with updated files.

@proffesinalDeveloper The mod didn't even exist at the time of the build 2802 so, if anything, it's compatible with any build but that one. Plus, these fixes haven't been done officialy by R* (lol) and it doesn't cause issues (unless with maybe other mods)
