@ReNNie well according to NVR devs, ReShade does give a little bit of a performance loss and they also say it's not really necessary to use it, which is why I decided not to install with Reshade. If I put my graphic settings to highest (ultra) I will be at like 10-15 FPS so I also cannot do that, so I leave it at high.

It might be because of my trainer, or my car addons, I'm not really sure. I usually get around 40 FPS until I activate my Menyoo trainer and spawn a couple of my car addons and drive around in them, which is when the FPS drops below 30s and 20s

@ikt I've rebooted like at least 5 times and it hasn't helped. I even restarted my PC. I'll try to change the resolution stuff, but I have it set to my monitor specs (1920x1080, 60Hz) at borderless windowed. I'm not really sure what specific driver settings you want me to look at but it's the default settings that the software came with (I haven't touched NVIDIA control panel since I installed it). The only overlay I had was Steam and GeForce Experience, I've disabled them but it hasn't helped either.

Hello, I have a GTX 970 and an i5 4590 with most if not all of the graphics settings at high. I get about 30 FPS if lucky, dips below 20s often. Game is installed on an SSD. I have about 28 addon cars and car handling mod and Menyoo. I have NaturalVision Remastered and VisualV (the mod devs said this will have very little performance loss) I am not using the ReShade, I am using only the ENB with other optional add ons such as the more rain puddles and alternative lens etc. I have the 2x traffic and 2x peds gameconfig.xml installed (anything lower crashes my game). My GPU driver is up to date. I used to have about 60 FPS when I first installed the game.

I've tried reinstalling NaturalVision but it didn't help much if at all. After I uninstalled it (I'm not sure if I did it correctly because even after using the uninstall OIVs and following the readme, there were still ENB files in the directory), I had about 30-40 FPS but honestly I expect more out of a well-maintained GTX 970 on high vanilla graphics, considering I had about 60 FPS when I first launched the game

Here are my logs and other files if they're needed (my last playthrough was about an hour)

I can do a benchmark if needed. Any help would be appreciated.

@stillhere I have about 28 addon mods. I just used 2x and it worked. It crashed after 5 minutes of gameplay though, but I guess I just need to bump it to 4x maybe?

Edit: Actually nevermind, it works now. It crashed last time because of my Reshade mod but it works now thanks to the 2x gameconfig, thank you!!

@stillhere I also use the "1x traffic 1xpeds" gameconfig. I installed both of those ASIs, but it didn't help much. I restarted the game twice and the OpenIV.log ended at these same lines in both attempts: https://pastebin.com/PXRLFAvq

I don't see why the game would crash at an asset from a developer update (that is what I'm assuming dlc_mpChristmas2017 is from). I didn't touch that at all.

@stillhere I didn't see your message when I did some troubleshooting, but anyways I got it to work by getting rid of a car mod pack, and the game loaded up fine after that. Now instead of the mod pack, I installed a bunch of car addons individually and the main menu loads up but after I try to load up story mode from the menu, the game crashes. I would assume it's the gameconfig.xml file since I have so many car addons but I used the latest 1.0.1493 one from F7YO.

Here are my log files (can't get my OpenIV log on here since it's so big)
Scripthook: https://pastebin.com/MU5VHLKZ (yes that is the entire scripthookv.log, I don't have that many ASIs in my directory)
launcher.log: https://pastebin.com/r5ZGpAFd
ASI loader: https://pastebin.com/TuJ894pB (the build is from 2015 and IDK if there is an updated version of it but I got it from the ASI manager in OpenIV)

@stillhere okay I updated it and it seems to have fixed the error but the game just doesn't open. I will start it but nothing happens, seems like its loading forever. On steam it says I have it running but nothing shows up. This is as far as the scripthook log gets after the scripthook update

Here is the launcher.log file https://pastebin.com/jA9pxEwF (it doesn't continue after that last line, it just stops there)

I recently installed a car addon pack through OIV and now the game doesn't start, and it gives me an scripthook error saying unknown game version. Here is the scripthook log:

// GTA V SCRIPT HOOK (build Sep 3 2017, v1.0.1180.2)
// (C) Alexander Blade 2015-2017

I didn't backup anything so I'm really hoping I don't have to reinstall the game... It was an OIV file so I suppose it isn't very easy to uninstall it without the original/backup
