i've noticed this on all of my R* games (RDR2, GTA 5, GTA 4) and i've been specifically trying to get gta v working. the newest update has bricked all my games and i really don't feel like redoing everything as i've worked so hard to get the game where i wanted it. of course the launcher won't simply let me play an old version though i remember it letting me do so last update. deleting scripthook hasn't solved my issue. i click the game in steam, luncher boots up, steam says "running" then the word "running" goes away and nothing happens. same thing even happend to gta 4! i had to verify its files even though it worked flawlessly before. yes i have updated my update.rpf. i did try and go back to a previous game version right after the update and maybe that screwed something up in regards to gta 5.

If u are using OpenIV, there's the problem. Some people (most of the users) can't update the files with the ASI Manager (it says update, and then whe you do it, you close it and if you open it again, it says update again) and you can't update by urself OpenIV.asi (you can ASI loader tho) so you have to wait for a patchfix.

so openivs update.rpf is bricking my game? than why are all my other r* games getting bricked?

I'm talking only about Grand Theft Auto V.

 

If you have the ASI Loader from OpenIV, and the OpenIV.asi; yeah, it's probably if there isn't anything wrong beside those files.

update: upon moving scripthook out of RDR2 and it worked but not without a weird beeping sound before r* launcher booted it up.

i'll see what getting rid of openiv.asi does. can you link me to a thread about this issue? 

my gta 5 root. in case there are any issues. 

ScriptHook V isn't updated yet, it will prevent your game from working.

 

OpenIV has an issue that doesn't allow some users to get the updated versions of the ASI Loader and OpenIV; to check if you have this. Open the program, go to ASI Manager in Tools, and then hit Install or Update. Close the ASI Manager and then open it again, if it still asking you to update, you have to wait like other ones to OpenIV release a patch fix. This things will prevent your game for even start loading so, you have to delete them.

ok that definitely seems this is my issue! uninstalled the two and installed again only to see it was asking me to update again and again. thanks! its a shame that it straight up bricks your game though! thats never happened before and i've been through about 4 patches so far. 

even after the newest OpenIV patch the game still will not boot up. not sure whats wrong.
