@JohnFromGWN Regarding the OpenIV and update.rpf danger at; https://forums.gta5-mods.com/topic/35789/gta5-911-help-and-checklist-what-to-do-when-mods-make-you-mad/25

If you want OpenIV to shut the hell up, you can take the version.txt from update\update.rpf\common\data and drop it in the same location of your modded update.rpf . Pretty annoying message though but luckily easy to silence the imbecile

@Aurora11
Thanks that's an excellent tip! I wonder if scripthookv uses a file for the GTA5.EXE version? Because we don't know if a new version of SH5 is always warranted after each update, we do know native functions are updated but the rest is really a black box. In passing, I just delete version.txt from the game version. That works too.

@JohnFromGWN I'm honestly have no idea about that I have very very limited knowledge about natives and scripts One time I was tried editing a mod's .dll file with dnSpy to remove a sentece since it was keep popping up when I want to take screenshot, and the game instantly crashed
