yeah you’re right i turned it off the firewall and still works fine the only other thing i changed from when it was previously not working was the directory I was running from the c:\epic games\GTAV -Modded folder, now i run from c:\epic games\GTAV and just have the c:\epic games\GTAV -Modded as a backup, relabelled to c:\epic games\GTAV -unmodded, just in case i screw it up and i can copy it all back
Thanks again, happily adding mods again, last time i did this was back in the Vice City Days
