I did a clean install of GTA V. Game runs, but as soon as I touch a file, I get this error "err_gfx_d3d_init". I tried to play with my Visualsettings.dat... and even if I replace it with the original file, I get the same error

 

• Solution for Windows 10 & above;

Step 1: Right-click This PC, and select Properties from the menu.

Step 2: Choose Advanced system settings in the System window.

Step 3: When the System Properties comes up, go to Advanced from top.

Step 4: Under Performance, click Settings.

Step 5: When Performance Options comes up, go to Advanced from top.

Step 6: Click Change under the Virtual memory.

Step 7: When Virtual Memory window comes up make sure The First Line is unchecked, Then Select Driver C in The List, Then click Custom size down below The List.

Step 8: When you make Custom Size active, Initial size and Maximum Size become available for entering number.

Step 9: You have to write a number which definitely more then Recommended, close to your actual Ram(GB); for example My Ram is 8GB, Recommended paging file size is 1912MB, but I entered 5120MB for both Initial Size and Maximum Size.

This might work.

Didn't work... remember, It works if I do a clean install, or verify game folder through steam, even rageplugin and LSPDFR work but as soon as I replace a Rockstar file for modding purposes, the game gives me that error... which is SO WEIRD ! lol

Do you have any kind of ASI loader or plugin hook currently installed? Also, can you send us some error logs or system information for us to take a look at?

your install whatever mods using the mods folder, not the original ones right???

I would recommend using OpenIV's "/mods" folder feature, as well as installing ScriptHookV.dll. Also be sure to go into OpenIV, clicking Tools in the top bar, and opening up ASI Manager. Within ASI Manager, install all 3 files listed there.
