I'll make sure to tell them what I think, whether they actually read it or not is another challenge.

Take-Two you f*cking bunch of c*nts! 

Take my house, take my car, take my dog, take my wife. But never ever take my GTA V modding.

openiv and ragehook updated and now the game won't launch, nowhere to download openiv anymore

I didn't realize how much LSPDFR meant to me until I saw the message. As is the case with all of us, I sure hope it stays. But either way, this is a brutal way to have things put into perspective. All you guys are the reason this has been so enjoyable for me, so whether you've offered advice on support posts or created models or scripts, thank you all.

Really ridiculous.

Unfortunately, both Take Two and the OpenIV developers are at fault. OIV insists on remaining proprietary software and controls the user by forcing them to uninstall the software even though it was perfectly functional, among other things (forced updates, etc). Both companies violate your rights, and neither deserve our support at this point. You might as well say fuck it and move to another platform.

You are not forced to uninstall, at least not yet.

OpenIV doesn't force you to uninstall the program, it only recommends that you do. I chose not to and I can still use it.

 

Edit: Ninja'd at my own game.

I stand corrected, then, but my point still stands - shady practices like forced updates bar the user from controlling their own software on their own computer. I'm sad to see where this has gone, especially when rights violations are involved, but it doesn't really effect me since I've quit modding and playing GTA V anyway.

I don't like this as well. They should have released the source code a long time ago.

I believe the forced updates came in around the time people started using 3dripperdx on OpenIV to "steal" models people had locked. The forced update to avoid people using a version of OpenIV that didn't break itself when 3dripperdx was detected.

 

So blame that on people who lock the models they stole from other games.

In my opinion, once we purchase our copy of the game, we should be able to use the game how we want, and if that means modifying files, it shouldn't be made illegal. I remember reading the EULA when first purchasing the game, and it said nowhere that modifying the game was illegal. If this is how Take Two is going to be, fuck them, and most of all, fuck R* for allowing Take Two to take over the company and ruin the community of GTA V mods for us.
