Important Notice – End of Support I have officially retired from GTA V modding. Because of that, this plugin is no longer maintained and will not receive any future updates, bug fixes, or new features. Please consider this project permanently finished and archived. After many years of developing mods and supporting the community, I’ve decided to step away and move on to other priorities. I am no longer active in GTA V development, and it’s very unlikely that I will return to update this or any o

Wrong word choice I'd say 🤣 Was in a rush heading to wedding rehearsal tried responding fast. Should've said " Not trying to kiss ass " I apologize for whatever your eyes may have wondered upon. 😅

It's been partially mentioned already but this plugin seems to be quite a hit to performance on my end. What would normally be 40fps in the Vespucci area immediately shoots down to around 28-30fps with the plugin loaded and when in a vehicle. Hopefully you could take a look into this. 🙂

I will def take a look, thanks for letting me know. I am currently in the middle of a rewrite so maybe that will fix everything. 🙂

Ok so I have not been able to replicate the performance issues within the Vinewood hills area with the hud, in the vehicle, etc. however, I see what you guys mean with the cruise control. there is like a huge FPS drop. so I will try to get that one fixed ASAP. for the other performance issues I am not sure, I cant seem to replicate them on my system.

Hmm. That’s, odd. I have tested brake overheating in my game and had no issues. Also had a beta team tested this before hand. They said everything was fine.

Unfortunately yes. I can concur with the guy (@fraxdulent), we both crash hard to the desktop with the same stack trace and exception at the bottom. ☹

In my case however, I only simply got in the car and didn't even move at all.
