I'm going mad trying to figure out why I can't seem to reliably install OIV files in my mods folder using Open IV. It seems about 30% of the time when I try installing one it corrupts some of the files within the folder causing my game to crash and not boot. Sometimes I get a message telling me it's due to a corrupt installation, and other times it just crashes.

 

I'm able to confirm it is indeed corrupting the game data somehow, as after briefly checking the files after installing one it quickly becomes apparent things don't look how they're supposed to look. Some crucial files are just empty, empty folders and garbled text files appear at random. The dlclist.xml seems to always be affected strangely.

 

This is making using GTA V and LSPDFR completely unbearable for me, as this is the the sixth time today I've had to start from scratch within the game directory. I don't have teamspeak or discord open in the background when installing the OIV's. I have considered doing each mod manually, but I feel I need to solve this problem in case it becomes a bigger issue in the future.

 

The OIVs always say they've installed successfully by the way. Despite the contrary being true, I think it's worth adding. Any advice is greatly appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out trying to solve this conundrum. 🤬

Did you install add-on car packs?  If you installed add-on vehicles, make sure you download a gameconfig that gives you unlimited vehicles.

I used the dilapidated 4.0 gameconfig. I don't see how that would cause my issue either way though.
