i think i fixed it, dunno how but im not questioning it at this point lol

@a63nt-5m1th yo that actually a great idea ill try that

@a63nt-5m1th thanks, ill try a few of those because ive done most already lol. i might just end up doing a clean windows install when i buy an ssd in a few weeks if none of these help

@Reacon i have, ran the game totally modless after i reinstalled it and no difference

to start off my sys specs are as follows:
gtx 1070
ryzen 5 1600
gigabyte ab350 gaming 3 mobo
16gb ddr4 ram @ 2400mhz
installed on 1tb hdd.

Every time the weather is on something other than extra sunny the game basically shits the bed and stutters like fucking crazy, in turn making me fucking crazy lol. i just bought this card to replace a 770 4gb and the game objectively runs worse now because of all the stutters. ive tried like 20 different "fixes" but nothing helps. the most annoying part is that it was running absolutely fine the other day with no stutters at all no matter the weather, then i go to play again and the bullshit is back.
im literally tearing my hair out at this problem and wonder if anyone else knows anything about it. also when running the benchmark right before the game was working properly i had even worse stutters and textures not loading at all, then when i started it up again it was fine. ive tried reseating ram, bunch of windows settings, have the ryzen balanced plan but nothing works. at this point gta 4 runs smoother which i thought id never say lol.

@JustHelpMeFixMyMods nah WITH edited handling its still terrible. every new car is pretty much indestructible except for doors/hoods getting ripped off, but they still get wheels kicked in easily like the non dlc cars (using realistic driving V)

@JustHelpMeFixMyMods almost all of the shit they've added i dont even use because its just some lame rocket car or something else stupid that belongs in saints row and not gta. if i wanted new vehicles id add them myself since every new vehicle rockstar has added barely takes any damage even with a deformation mod. if what they were releasing was actually quality and not some mp cash grab i wouldnt bitch half as much.

@krashadam said in Community reaction is crazy when game is updating/scripthook:

@Rizzle45 This is only because the update prevents ScriptHookV from being used. Pirating won't make a difference, you simply won't be serviced on GTA6-Mods.com (should there ever be one, and don't click that fucking link.)

You could pirate GTA5 now and it won't make any difference, you still need a working ScriptHookV to run mods, and that's if mods will even run on a pirated version, I heard they don't a lot of times.

if i pirated gta v right now i could still find a working version of scripthook depending on what version i download, downvote me all you want but rockstar fucked gta v for pc users in favour of their console overlords and their shitty mp. i play gta v for (modded) sp not some cash grab half baked mp. my point is that some update that only affects mp shouldnt render my sp useless because rockstar is lazy and doesnt wanna separate sp and mp. its been too many times now where i wanna go to play but i cant for at least a week because of some shitty update for mp. and i despise sp without mods, it just isnt the same. im just gunna play gta iv again.

@sportcar i swear to god im pirating the next gta just so i can fucking use my mods when i want to. it feels like every time i wanna start playing again everything gets broken and i leave the game alone for another few weeks. rockstar can eat a dick
