I have tried numerous times today to revert my game - it does the revert however, I go to launch the game and it proceeds to update to the latest version again and renders the revert useless.

I own the RGSC version (retail physical).

 

I'm assuming that I'll have to just wait for SHV, LSPDFR and RPH to be updated or am I doing something wrong?

I've done reverts before on previous updates but this is the first time I've had it not work.

Per @GrandTheftPD if you backed up your game folder you can copy and paste these files in your directory.  May only be GTAV files but it doesnt really matter.  See attached Image.

Not sure what you are actually on about - I'm talking about the RPH built-in backup feature - I've used it before and it's worked but this is the first time I've needed to do it with the new launcher and it seems that this launcher will re-update the game after I do the revert.

I realize that, this is the alternative, it didnt work for many others either

Was going to say, I don't see how that would really fix it anyway because it'd still re-update the game.

If anything once RPH, LSPDFR and SHV are updated I'll test the revert and see if it works again. I doubt it will but it's worth the try in the end.

Copy and Paste takes 10 seconds.  Like I said its an alternative.  Ive been playing multiple times since the update and only did it once.  Just an Idea thats all.

Where would I even grab those files from as I don't have any idea where I would get those files from in the first place to replace the ones in the GTA V folder.

Like i said "If you backed up your game folder"

Makes sense, but obviously I wouldn't back up my game folder because that'd obviously be a lot of files (my mods folder is about 70gbs in size) so couple that with the size of the non-modded it'd be a huge amount to backup - I already have my mods folder backed up so I can drag and drop if my mods folder breaks (I backed up a week ago so anything new can be reverted unless its cars which I'm fine to re-install).

 

Guess I'll have to deal with this issue every time a new update comes out (which hopefully will be long gaps in time between.)

But remember even if you backup your mods folder, if you use albos modding DLC for replacements and addons its good to save your original vehicles.meta (Outside your mods folder)  in case you renamed replacement vehicles for other slots.

How many GBs does that take up?
I'm sure that'd be a huge amount so you must have a large HDD/SSD that you've got that on.

Yikes... I only have a 2TB SSD that GTA V sits on and 300GBs+ of its space is taken up by one game (it has a huge amount of DLC).

It sucks that the RGSC launcher broke backup & revert because that was my lifeline back on the old RGSC launcher.

I'm alright, thanks for the offer but I'll just wait, I doubt it'll take too long for it all to be updated.

This is a convenience as I wanted to stream some LSPDFR and show off the new content I had installed but I guess that will have to wait.
