I have 2 game installs on my SSD for GTA, one the normal install, and the other for LSPDFR, which I did so I could play online. How can I update everything when updates DO come out?

 

 

(sorry if this is in the wrong forum I wasn't completely sure.)

I'm not sure whether you mean LSPDFR or GTAV itself. If it is GTAV itself, go ahead and update your normal install version. For LSPDFR, keep it on the current version until an update comes out for LSPDFR and RPH, and ScriptHookV if you prefer. From there you can simply copy GTAV, PlayGTAV, GTAVLanguageSelect, and GTAVLauncher from your updated folder to the LSPDFR folder when you do wish to update everything.

 

To start that, turn off automatic steam updates, manually update your normal version, and then turn off your automatic updates. I strongly encourage that you backup your old LSPDFR game version with the 4 files stated above in case Steam decides to update that version, but it should only do it once.

Edit: nevermind, you just copy the files.

Simply drag and drop them into the modified folder once you update that folder. Do not update them if you do not plan to update the game.

Also, do I just need to backup those 4 EXEs?

In order to backup GTAV itself, yes. Sometimes it is recommended to backup the update folder if there is expected to be a change there, but this update was not one that changed that folder.

Alright. Thanks for the help!

Open "Run" with windows+R key

Type " steam://open/console"

A console will appear on steam.

Download the manifests by pasting the commands below.

download_depot 271590 271591 4915145488431092967

File location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\content\app_271590

Drag and drop all contents within the folders into your gta v main directory.

Make sure to set GTA V to update only when launched.

This method works for steam only.

Did it and it worked flawlessly. 

Will work with launcher until a new script hook comes out.

Not sure if this works, but this is only useful after the fact, at least so it seems. If you intended it to be a way to backup your files because of a game update, it is unnecessarily "complicated". In this case particularly it is not needed.
