Hi, i'm posting this beacuse of the effects that the new update had on my GTA V.

After the update, every time I start the game, once reached the "loading Story mode" screen, the game simply freezes and crashes. 

I tried every fix or tip possible...but I'm still not able to play. I do not know if it's a memory leak or a problem with my GTA, but I'd like some help.

Thanks!

Steam, retail or disc version?

Do you have a mods folder? If so then that needs to be removed.

If the mods folder has to be removed, how (if one wants to add mods) would one be able to? Are mods no longer supported since the update? (I know LSPDFR do not provide support to a modded game but in general)

No, the files in the mods folder are not updated.You can re add them.

Of course it is an original version of GTA. I bought it as soon as GTA came out.

Nope. I disinstalled all the mods I could. I do not even have the rage plugin hook installed: it's just "vanilla".

If it can help, i noticed that deleting the ScriptHook files makes the game say "game files damaged, please reinstall". I do not think that's the problem, but surely can help.

I'm having the same issue even with a fresh install of the game. Would love any help as I've only been able to play the game one day..

Try removing the launcher.exe and letting it redownload. After make sure all 3 .exe's are ticked "Run as Admin" get the latest nvidia drivers. Try running the game in Border-less window mode.

After a lot of hard work, and after even looking through the code I came up with something. The 1.27 patch really modifies how the game acts in terms of memory managament. What I am saying is that, even on the most powerfull PCs, the game is really heavy to run. What how suggest you to do is reinstall the game again (yes, another time) and be really carefull with the graphic options. Finally, changing your virtual RAM (virtual memory) can surely help: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/change-virtual-memory-size#1TC=windows-7.

BTW, that's how I resolved the problem.
