It seems like for me and some others, this is being caused by the dinput8.dll file. Try testing it by removing the file from the GTAV directory and see if it launches
If it does, then try going to https://www.dll-files.com/dinput8.dll.html
Download the most recent dinput8.dll file and add it to the gtaV directory

You do realize you're asking people to replace the ASI loader with the standard dinput8.dll, right? This has no different effect than deleting the file does. SHV's ASI loader replaces the default system-level dinput8.dll. You are just turning off SHV's ASI loader, not actually fixing the issue with your mods.

Not sure if I've messed up somewhere along the line, but the install instructions for the new Scripthook were :

Installation:
1. Copy ScriptHookV.dll to the game's main folder, i.e. where GTA5.exe
   is located.
2. In order to load asi plugins you need to have asi loader installed,
   you can download it separately or use the latest version that comes
   with this distrib (dinput8.dll).
   You must delete old dsound.dll asiloader if you have one installed.
3. This distrib also includes a sample asi plugin - native trainer,
   if you need a trainer then copy NativeTrainer.asi as well.

After completing these steps, the game wouldn't load so I grabbed the dinput.dll file from the address I posted and now it's running. Apologies if I've given some incorrect advice  but it appears to be working for me at the moment

Cyan is actually right. I'm using NVE and now I installed the latest SVH but when I was starting my game, it just crashed without any warning. So I deleted the dinput8.dll and start it again, the game finally loaded, but without reshade. I'm pretty sure that if I load the full game, all other mods that are using .asi files won't load because of the regular dinput8.dll that you linked. 😕

Thanks for the info. Should I delete this topic? I'd hate to cause problems for anyone else? I'm confused though, as my mods including NVE appear to be functioning normally
I did have to open OPENIV though and in Tools > asi manager, click Update on the ASI plugin

I'm not experience enough to know if any mods I'm using are relying on the ASI loader, but removing the dinput8.dll file is the only way I can get the game to run. Though it runs without mods
EDIT* Yea, it seems like some mods are working but mods like ELS etc aren't

So is GTAV failing to run because of a faulty dinput8 file packed with the latest scripthook?
