Well I installed NVE today and the game now crashes on loading story mode yet again.

I made sure to have the HeapAdjuster and GameConfig properly installed.

In EventViewer, I see that the faulting module is ucrtbase.dll which seems odd.

This is what I see:

Faulting application name: GTA5.exe, version: 1.0.2699.0, time stamp: 0x62d9ac71
Faulting module name: ucrtbase.dll, version: 10.0.22621.1, time stamp: 0xf5fc15a3

I only installed the dlclist.xml and gameconfig.xml from F7YO - NVE (SP) was installed - latest build from July 31st 2022.

Disabled the /scripts folder to no avail - still crashes.

Will try disabling dinput8.dll to check if it loads vanilla GTA 5 but I'm 99.9% sure that isn't the problem.

My QuantV build works fine but after installing NVE, it is now borked. Before installing NVE, I deleted the update.rpf & update2.rpf files from the mods folder and copied them over (vanilla) from the game folder to install NVE on a 'fresh' build.

The very last line in OpenIV.log is:

10/08/2022 18:06:11.435 [8872] TRACE: [fiPackfile::openArchive] 'dlcpacks:/NVE_carcols/dlc.rpf'

EDIT: Whittled down the issue to the SirenSettingsLimitAdjuster.asi mod. Removed it and game works fine however there is a bigger issue.

The latest version of NVE causes missing textures almost immediately on starting gameplay (i.e. < 1 min). I have tons of mods including vegetation etc. so that could be it but also have a boat-load of add-on vehicles.

Does anyone know if we can adjust the HeapAdjuster value to above 10,000? I have it at 10,000 currently and it has worked fine so far - i.e. it works great with the QuantV mod - but with NVE I'm getting tons of missing textures and the SirenSettingsLimitAdjuster.asi mod does not work.

@JohnFromGWN lern tu spel or elce peepul wil tink yew aur halpfool.

Uninstall the game kid. your posts are not helpful. never have been.

@JohnFromGWN Reading comprehension is surely not your strength. Your posts were NOT helpful at all. I got it working despite your misleading and unhelpful posts.

If you want to be helpful just uninstall the game and refrain from posting again on this forum. Now THAT would be of great help.

@JohnFromGWN too bad for you I got the game working fully modded. your worthless posts are just that - worthless and of no help at all.

continue shilling kid. you might get a free costume for your GTAO character.

@JohnFromGWN So you "bought" the game on seedy websites for $10. No need to project - when I bought the game in 2015 it was $60.

Keep shilling for Rockstar and making useless comments without actually helping anyone. Your posts are useless but go ahead and keep at it. Rockstar could hire you as a professional shill. Keep trying kid.

@JohnFromGWN Of course I don't think that. Stop shilling for Rockstar. I can express my frustration in any way I please. Nobody asked for your commentary about my comments.

Either help with the question posed or keep quiet.

@JohnFromGWN already did all of that - only the Packfile Limit Adjuster has been updated. Still crashes on load.

Did find out one issue - VehfuncsV no longer works (v1.4) so have to downgrade that to v1.3 but now I get infinite loading screen instead of CTD. I uninstalled QuantV and just have the add-on packs for vehicles, maps, wheels etc.

Next step is to try disabling all the ASI (script) mods and see if that works.

What an absolute PITA this is.

The bigger problem is even if I downgrade the game to the previous version, QuantV installs files to the latest dlc.rpf files so it doesn't work (!!). I have to install the "old" version of QuantV (or some other mod) which defeats the purpose anyway.

Rockstar Games will never get a penny from me ever again.

@JohnFromGWN have you been able to update the game and get it to work with mods (i.e. latest gameconfig.xml by F7YO)?

@Fabito48hd I tried that it still crashes on load for me.

OpenIV.log always shows this at the end:

04/08/2022 12:19:06.691 [15316] TRACE: [fiPackfile::openArchive] 'platform:/anim/creaturemetadata.rpf'

The updated game with mods does NOT work.

Game worked fine by manually not updating it to the latest crapola update.

However, latest build of QuantV was released and that installs stuff to the new dlc.rpf file(s). So, I grudgingly updated the files/game to the latest version, put all the latest files (ScriptHookV, PackFileLimitAdjuster etc.) and sure enough, the game crashes to desktop on loading Story Mode.

I cannot begin to state how much I despise Rockstar Games; they release useless "online only" updates which do nothing but break the game (for those of us who play only for the mods in SP).

So, need help in fixing the game to get it to work. I have all the updated files, included the latest dlc.rpf files in the dlclist.xml file along with updated gameconfig.xml etc.

Can someone please help?

The OpenIV.log shows this:

My HeapAdjuster is set to 10,000 as it has always been and it has worked beautifully in the past with all my mods. PackLimitFileAdjuster is set to twice of the ArchiveCount amount as stated in the instructions - 22,032.

Using F7YO's latest gameconfig.xml - the one inside the 'more mods' folder.
