Nobody knows about ocean waves distance?
Any effects distances file, anything?

@a63nt-5m1th Registry method sounds nice! I hate hacky batch files with copy and rename commands xD
I know what you mean about updates too. Fuck updates. No thx R*, you can keep your increasingly ridiculous and contrived war-machines, they have no place in my GTA anyway :<

Thanks once again my dude ! Feel free to add me in steam if you ever wanted to swap advice, play fivem or anything ^^

Hi all!
It's about the last thing on my list of "MUST CHANGE IT!" things about GTA V. I've scoured through many files without luck, does anyone know a setting or value which determines how far away waves will be rendered into water ?
Let's make it 3x as far and enjoy really nice sea views!

@a63nt-5m1th I wondered if you had updated lately, maybe the bypass we were using isn't adapted for newer patches smh as I'm on whatever is the latest (arena wars?)

Think you might be right, after the executables anything else would probably be backward compatible huh, and just have unused new assets which my backup executables wouldnt call for... hmm. Thanks a million brother !
Btw maybe check out my mods as we seem somewhat similar , you might like them

@a63nt-5m1th
I am using a mods folder And I just simply keep 2 copies of the root folder. Had the space to spare... might just delete online infact. What a dogpile they made of potentially the best online game ever.. nobody with brain cells to rub together wants anything to do with it

But wouldn't at the least an update overwrite the executable, breaking scripthook and such ? So that's one thing I'd need to back up right, just thinking what other files can be irreversibly modified by update, that isn't covered by mods folder ?

@Unknown-Modder Do you know which of the available bypass methods Does only fake versioning data? I keep a seperate copy for GTAO so I think that's all I need !

@a63nt-5m1th Do you use the ASI version or the EXE ?

Playing without Launcher Bypass ASI seems, so far, to have fixed it. I will continue this way if can't get a perfect bypass going.
My helpful friend here, Agent Smith: can you tell me what I need to back up to ensure new updates from the official launcher don't destroy my modded copy ?

The only one of those I'm not sure about is vehicles.meta, good suggestion , thanks !!

Bypass launcher can cause this?? That may well be it!?
can use normal launcher, but I'm scared it will update at some point and break everything.. is there a great option to solve that or is it the hacky things I read already - keeping a backup copy of the entire folder and such?

Hi! Thanks so much for the reply, very thorough
That last part is especially a good idea, but I actually don't think I can replicate it easily at all. It's not every time I get into a car and it's not every time I'm wanted and do it either.
I heard a suggestion about AutoScan For Music which I had high hopes for but that didn't get it either.

Sadly, the prospect of troubleshooting this in the way you described is just too tedious for me - I kinda started this thread to try to avoid that xD
If nobody has suggestions as to the file responsible I'll just keep saving every few minutes I think but I may eventually snap and refer to your guide here )
Thanks again

Hi guys, would appreciate any insight on this SOOOO MUCH!
I had this the first time I was playing through GTA V SP too, many years later now but the same annoying crash
I think it must be a mod I used since those days, it's always when trying to enter a vehicle and seems to happen much more likely if I am Wanted. So I assumed Crime police rebalance enhancement mod was culprit but I removed that now and still persists.

I have not too many mods, here is the list of those which have been the whole time while the bug was there, if you know any of these to cause this crash PLEASE let me know !

• SPA
• Premium delxe motorsport x2 (one for sell one for buy)
• Sit Anywhere
• Low Life Crime
• TrainerV
• Crime & Police Rebalance Enhancement (removed, I think)

Alternatively if you know which file could have errors to cause this, that's even better!
I'm pretty sure it's not a script mod at all, but some erroneous value or wrong version in a police/wanted related file, I think I removed them all from CPRE, but still crash so...
