I haven't been in the whole mod and gta world for while but got to thinking.

 

After the new launcher it seems like a hassle.

 

If one has full backups of older rph, mods, game they own is it possible to load it with say the no launcher asi?

 

If not is there a way one can run older rph, lspdfr, script etc with their backups without the launcher wanting to always connect forcing you to update?

 

I have no interest in online at all. Just offline.

 

I believe I am posting in proper forum but forgive if I am not.

 

This is not asking for support or anything other then thoughts or methods that work to get ones full owned offline modes game to work with older versions without needing to login to social club like the new launcher has.

 

I prefer the older versions anyway.

Corrected spelling of gta from gra.

Unfortunately, the current launcher to my knowledge cannot be reversed. However, I am not having issues with the new launchers besides the inability to use the RAGE plugin hook backups. To fix the launcher re-updating, use the mods folder from OpenIV.

Been experimenting for while since posting.

 

I been able to get versions 28 to 41ish running on gta v with older versions of lspdfr, and respective rage and other file versions for that time frame. I found you have to have kept your very old launcher from say version of gta v around rph 28. 

 

It'll allow you to log in and save and load the game.

 

Eventually it'll require a update which moves it up, sometimes to the latest launcher or a older launcher that allows you to log into social club and doesn't update.

 

I haven't figured it out why sometimes it does that.

 

But without doubt the new launcher may cause you to be forced to update. One way I was ablessed to get around that was only clicking gtav.exe and letting it load and verify without the launcher keeping the game old. 

 

Ymmv with various ways as I ran into several issues testing it out and jacking with the various versions of the launcher.
