@JohnFromGWN ya, i thought i blew my game out by calling for missing things in the list, but it wasnt that. still learning the ropes of this game.

i was crashing my new game version by modding the dispatch.meta file and putting to many vehicle varieties in the settings.

interesting, i had mine crash before and i swear it was from missing files...

@CybershadeSR sounds like the dlclist might be looking for something thats not there?

@Dogamizer Hi, ya, i have the physical CD's, usually with classic games i try to get the CD's, like Secret weapons of the luftwaffe (actually floppys). heros of the 357th, twilight 2000, panzer general, etc... but your talking about just setting it to boot right into story mode? i think i enabled that at one time, then turned it off when i found the "do not update" setting in the settings... obviously that doesnt work.

i have 6 various backups dating back till march 21, thats when i bought the game, this current update bypasses everything and makes me reload the patch every time.

@JohnFromGWN ya, think i may be going Linux after 10 belly ups.

well, you are right, but i don't buy any software (normally) that requires a login to use it, i didn't know that about this rockstar stuff or i wouldn't have bought it.

2 of my 3 systems are offline, an old P3 win98se, and another slightly later system with XP, made to run older programs and games.

pointless to mod up this game when the day will come that your backed up modded version of gta5 will be rendered broken cause this company will keep changing things but the guy that made SHV ends up passing on and isn't around to counter their BS.

that's essentially seems to be the branch that this community is precariously perched on.

@JohnFromGWN well, i don't rent my software, not my music recording SFW and not my games.. so this will be the first and last rockstar purchase i ever make.. i don't need them to trash all my modding work every three months on my system.... they need to disconnect SP from online... its not like they haven't really abandoned SP already anyways.
