Hello, as the title mentions I am struggling with the optimization of my GTA. I have heard in previous posts saying too many Scripts or Mods can be bogging your game down. I have been downloading some mods and scripts for a little while now and haven't had issues with crashing but now I am beginning to have some issues related to texture rendering. Occasionally roads and buildings are having difficulty loading along with trees and street lights. I am at the point now where I've been adding plugins for a bit of time now and should have been removing old ones but I am now forgetting which plugins are essential and what isn't. I'm hoping someone with a better idea of what their doing can take a look at my setup.

I also may need to look into upgrading my graphics card as I am currently using an RTX 3070. It feels great with no mods but I've added things like Lively World Expansion which makes my game struggle with loading building and road textures.

Here is my Rage Crash Log

RagePluginHook.log

As well as Plugins Folders

Main Folder

Plugins Inside LSPDFR

Looking at it now it is quite a lot and I should've been removing as I went but it was extremely addictive to keep adding more and continue to customize the game but now my game is in shambles. Any suggestions as to which files to delete or if any should be moved around please let me know, it would be greatly appreciated and to anyone who takes the time to read this or write a reply thank you very much. I will be sleeping very shortly but will be checking any responses hopefully at a decent time tomorrow!

Hi,

Please install the following plugins by moving them to the correct directories as listed below:

• BetterHitReactions — Move from GTAV/Plugins/LSPDFR to GTAV/Plugins

• CalloutInterfaceAPI — Move from GTAV/Plugins/LSPDFR to GTAV

• ClearTheWayV — Move from GTAV/Plugins/LSPDFR to GTAV/Plugins

• Damage Tracking Framework — Move from GTAV/Plugins/LSPDFR to GTAV/Plugins

• Enhanced Weapon Control — Move from GTAV/Plugins/LSPDFR to GTAV/Plugins

• RAGENativeUI — Move from GTAV/Plugins/LSPDFR to GTAV

• Realistic Traffic AI — Move from GTAV/Plugins/LSPDFR to GTAV/Plugins

Once you've moved these files to the correct locations, launch the game and verify that the plugins are loading properly. If you continue to experience any issues, please let me know and I'll be happy to help further.

Hi, I'm so sorry for the late response I've had a terribly busy day. I just made all the updates you suggested and it seems my game is running quite well, feels smoother for sure. Just curious is there anything you would recommend for dealing with texture loss? I run some pretty big mods mainly Lively World Expansion which changes the terrain quite a bit and makes it much harder for my system to run. I have been debating for a while getting a new graphics card to increase video memory along with upgrading to 32gb of ram as I am only on 16gb currently. Wondering if that would be what is mainly hindering my performance or if there may be any other options within the game files or settings optimization.

Thanks again for taking the time to read and reply to my issue!

Hi,

No worries at all—I'm glad to hear the changes helped and that the game is running more smoothly!

For texture loss, Lively World Expansion is definitely one of the more demanding mods, so it's not surprising that you're seeing streaming issues.

Upgrading your hardware would certainly help:

• 32 GB of RAM is a worthwhile upgrade if you're running a heavily modded game, as it gives GTA V and your plugins more room to work.

• A graphics card with more VRAM will likely have the biggest impact on texture streaming, especially if you're running high-resolution textures or map modifications. If you're currently running out of VRAM, that can cause textures to disappear or load very slowly.

A few other things you can try before upgrading:

• Lower Extended Distance Scaling and Extended Shadows Distance in the graphics settings, as these have a significant impact on texture streaming.

• Avoid maxing out your graphics settings if your VRAM usage is close to the limit.

• If you're using a gameconfig, make sure it's up to date and appropriate for your mod setup.

• Keep an eye on your VRAM usage in the Graphics settings menu—if the bar is near or over the limit, that's a good indication that VRAM is the bottleneck.

Based on what you've described, I'd say VRAM is probably the biggest limiting factor, with the RAM upgrade being a nice improvement alongside it.

I'm happy to hear things are working better now!

Thanks for your reply. That is exactly what I was assuming was the case. I think since I'm on 8gb of VRAM currently I'm going to look into a card with 16gb or if I find something 24gb for a reasonable price. I appreciate your help so much, thank you for taking the time to help with all of this.
