@Fabito48hd Thanks for the heads up. I can just imagine the postings which will come that day and in subsequent days about how GTA5 mods no longer work and the unnecessary advice some will get regarding "you'll have to wait for SH update".
Actually you don't have to wait for any SH update if you are just SP. You can keep playing as long as you want if you keep backups of your files including SH and then restore them after the update.

@JohnFromGWN Hi friend!
What files should I save? After the update, I restore them and it will not update again?
-
@JohnFromGWN @Fabito48hd I use a Launcher that skips the GTA Launcher to prevent that shit from happening lmao using the Social Club Version but nice to see how our community helps each other in any way.
Cheers

@Zuraxo Hi!
I've been looking for the same thing that you say, but they seem out of date and I have had no luck.
-
@Fabito48hd Here you go mate I can use it with no problem even tho it's old no crashes if I want to update I just launch the regular launcher.
Cheers
-
@Fabito48hd You'll need to keep a backup of:
-
update.rpf in the update folder
-
GTA5.exe and GTAVLauncher.exe in the main directory - Also PlayGTAV.exe, as that gets updated from time to time.
With Steam, you can let the game update then revert to the previous version with the files I listed.
R* Launcher, you can do the same, however, you'll need to find a launcher bypass as @Zuraxo said because the R* Launcher will re download the latest files at the first chance it gets.

@WGotch07 Great advice and concise but for perfect clarity, the update.rpf file is the one in the Steam installation/root Update folder. Writing this because there is a second update.rpf file in your mods folder.
Having said that, it is a great idea to backup the one in your Mods folder as well. That has saved my ass a few times after a file got corrupt or i tinkered and screwed up.
Of course it's wise to backup the addons in your Mods folder as well. In my case I've spent hours modifying addon peds and vehicles which is why I backup my Mods folder - which includes the Mods folder version of Update.rpf and everything else you can think of: dlclist.xml, peds.meta, all vehicle changes like handling files, all texture changes you made, etc. And ofc I backup all my VS files by version.
OPTIONAL ONLY: One last thing. I also backup SH (not the dotnets) with the Steam files WGotch07 identified - just to have the complete set and not to have to search for an archive of SH files if needed (which is a PITA). I create a folder called Steam Update [date] and keep it on an external drive.
P.S. Steam will not overwrite any of your personal files (scripts, mods, any asi or dlls in the root folder) which means they will not need to be reinstalled but it also means if you had problems before with Menyoo or any other addons there, they will not be fixed by the Steam update!

The only option Steam has is "only update when launched". How do i launch it without updating?
-
@Myman I only know that the option is there somewhere (don't know if they removed it) I never used the don't update in steam I have my gta on social club and I use a modded launcher.
Can't check on my steam right now as I don't have much time but if someone is kind enough to tell you I guess will do if not I'll check later.
EDIT; I just remember something in the steam settings take a look there

But even if i make it not update i would need a special launcher or else it will not start? The one on this site does only work for Social Club from what i have seen. On Steam they have made it so it wont start in offline mode when i tried.
-
@Myman did you try start arguments?
Cheers

@Zuraxo You can't stop the update on steam when you hit play.
-
@conmuabuon all the answers are in this thread, you need to back up 3 files and restore them.
-

Aha i did not understand that it would be that simple. I did make a backup before update so i can restore the files. Will try later.

@Zuraxo Steam is like Big Brother, you will do the update whether you want to or not.
