Has anyone else been experiencing issues with ScriptHookVDotNet? I have the latest version from GitHub and removed other mods but for some reason, every time I fire up the game it crashes midway through the loading screen. Before anyone might ask, no I am NOT running RPH. I am simply opening the game through steam and loading into story mode, or at least trying to. I really don't know why it is crashing my game, I gave a friend the same version and their game loaded completely fine. I've heard that it varies, that some people are unlucky and it doesn't work for them and some people it does, but that doesn't make any sense. 

 

Any help is appreciated. 

SHVDN is fundamentally broken. It makes use of Windows functionality that is explicitly documented not to be used from a .NET environment. You can find my detailed write-up here if you care about the details: https://github.com/crosire/scripthookvdotnet/issues/976. This issue can happen randomly and there is nothing you can do about it.

Thanks for the advice. It's a damn shame that its broken, but you did state that the issue happens randomly. Is this the case for other people? Or is it slated to happen eventually, and occur haphazardly by happenstance when it does? I don't see any halt in the development of mods that do require it, so it must not be a widespread issue.

I have never had the issue myself, but I also do not really use SHVDN and only installed it when troubleshooting this issue. From my experience you either always have the issue or never. I only learned about it because one of my friends told me that it crashed for him all the time and I had a look. That's why it was easy to then troubleshoot and document the issue. As you can see, the author of SHVDN has acknowledged the issue so perhaps eventually it will get fixed.

I have SHVDN and I don't think I have any issues.  Game loads just fine.  I would think something in your main folder needs to be updated (i.e., RageNativeUI, SimpleTrainer if you use that). 

As of now, I have found no other solution or way to fix this issue.

As you've said, something might be outdated in my main folder. However, that is untrue as I've personally checked and gone over every file folder I could see that might be outdated. RageNativeUI was outdated from many months back, so I thought that might be the problem. It turns out that it wasn't the issue, the game still crashes while loading in with SHVDN. I even cleaned my entire scripts folder to make sure it wasn't a script mod that was causing the crashes. I'll keep trying it out every day in the hopes that it will eventually work because if there isn't anything intrinsically wrong with it, then I must be doing something inherently wrong. Or, Occam's razor here, the mod itself is entirely to blame. This comes completely out of nowhere, as only with the newer version and update (drug wars) it started to cause loading screen crashes. 

 

Before the update, it was working fine, with no issues, and no crashes. Not a single thing was wrong.  Maybe I've exhausted all my options, and others will relatively feel unaffected by my issues as theirs are working. As of right now, it seems there is no solution but to stop using it. 

SHVDN has an inherent design failure that causes random crashes. Lennart has described to the creators how this can be fixed in the bug report previously linked. Sadly if you are affected by this there's nothing you can do.
