My apologies, I am glad you brought that up! Yes, doing a fresh install is a pain if you already have spent a few minutes, hours, or even months modding GTA. Not to mention the time it takes to delete the game from your HD and re-download. That's a nightmare for most modder's on here! And should only be used as a last resort.

And "Run a diagnostic report"
Again, that was just my humble opinion and I hope someone here can assist you with your issue! :smile:
