Steam not launching GTA V after update

[John Lead 3]

Hello Everyone,

   Just curious if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. When I go to launch LSPDFR via RAGEPluginHook, the RPH splash screen starts and reads "launching game via steam". Then the black rockstar square pops up and shows "Connecting to rockstar game services". that one closes then the gray/black screen shows up that traces the rockstar logo for just a few seconds then closes showing the RPH splash screen reading "Waiting for game window".

   I just updated LSPDFR, RPH, and ScriptHook V today. I'm thinking the problem is with steam because I have also opened up steam and tried to launch it that way but again, it only shows the two rockstar box's then closes. This has happened once before and I just reinstalled the game and all my mods (Which I have a lot of!). I know the simple answer is to just install and reinstall everything but I really dont want to have to go through that process again. I'm hoping someone has some information as to why this is happening and how to prevent it or has a simple solution so I don't have to do this every time an update comes out.

Verify your game files, then retry.

Yes, Game files have been verified with no success

Remove dinput8.dll from your main directory (to your desktop) then retry.

[John Lead 3]

I just tried that. Same thing happened.

 

I updated yesterday to LSPDFR 0.4.9 build 8037 by downloading the LSPDFR_049_8037_Manual_Install.zip and moving everything over except Licenses. Then I downloaded ScriptHookV_1.0.2545.0 and moved over dinput8.dll & ScriptHookV.dll. is this all that is needed?

[Charlie686 2,670]

Yes, that is correct.

Please attach a screenshot of your main directory.

dinput8.dll loads your .asi files.

Therefore, the issue resides with them.

You can remove them all to your desktop, then individually re-add them and see which is causing the issue.

I just tried this and it's starting to look a bit more positive. GTA V is now launching and getting to the load screen to the point where it reads "Loading & Populating Game World" then crashes. This is the crash log.

In some sense.

Is dinput8 still removed, to confirm?

And for information, vfs.dll loads LML; did you update it?

RagePluginHook.logJUST CRASHING ON STARTUP NOW WAS WORKING FINE

[John Lead 3]

We're making some progress here. I updated LML and updated GameConfig.xml as I was getting the "ERR_MEM_EMBEDDEDALLOC_ALLOC" error.  With the dinput8.dll file, It just sits on the loading screen. with the dunput8.dll file removed it still brings up the "ERR_MEM_EMBEDDEDALLOC_ALLOC" error. Here are the logs with and without the dinput8 files in the directory.

I just updated the update.rpf in my mods folder as OpenIV gave a warning it was outdated. I replaced the the dlclist.xml and the gameconfig.xml from before and now it crashes instead of just staying on the loading screen. Here is the log.

You need the new gameconfig.

[John Lead 3]

Sorry for the late replies @Charlie686, I've been very busy at work. What gameconfig.xml is needed? I am currently using V27 for v1.0.2545 by cabe47(For more mods > 0,1x traffic 0, 1x peds).

[Charlie686 2,670]

You mentioned how you were using the gameconfig from before so I just wanted to clarify.

To confirm, when you disable your mods folder by renaming it to _mods is the issue resolved?

Sorry for the confusion, I am currently using the new gameconfig. I just renamed the mods folder to "_mods" and still having the same issue. it crashes at the loading screen shortly after "Loading & Populating Game World". Attached is the current RPH crash log.

Did you address the issue with vfs.dll?
