I'm not grilling you guys (the devs) or anything, I appreciate everything you do for us, thank you!

With that said, I honestly think you guys should push new versions before major GTA online patches because they obviously break everything every time, even if it means a smaller patch that's still better in my opinion. Why wait to do it after a GTA patch when you know it's going to break everything.

So that they would break just after the update leaving tons of people with a version that is not functioning properly? I think that they are doing the best they can to deal with the situation, and that releasing updates before a major patch would be even worse.

They could just give an update on the site/forums... "Reminder, tomorrow _____ update is being released. If you want to be able to play LSPDFR, do not update."

I have no doubt that they're working their ass off to fix it, I'm just saying in my opinion it'd probably be better to release before updates rather than after.

It would make absolutely no sense at all to release before the major content updates by Rockstar.

Not only do you put strain on us for getting a release done by that date, but you then can guarantee the majority will forget to backup the old files and suddenly the mod and their game is broken by the update. We then get a shitstorm of people saying LSPDFR broke their game and everyone on the Community Team here then has to spam the words "did your game auto update, it's not our fault it's broken now" over and over again like a broken record.

It does make perfect sense to release the mod AFTER we have gotten modding working on the latest GTA patch as this means you've got the full length of that patch to enjoy the mod. Whereas releasing before means we then have to make a minor update to fix the mod when it breaks (basically meaning 2 releases per patch update rather than 1) which takes time and effort.

 

And as for having a notice on the forum, realistically none of you will read that. Just like the realms of you who ignored the "RagePluginHook currently does not support the latest GTA V patch" notice, or any of the other notices we put up.
Come to think of it....the only things you guys ever notice is imaginary countdowns and logo changes. :P

Well said Sir, well said.

Doing that would cause more Problems, than it would solve.
