Dude, thank you! That fixed it!

do you use the mod "extended camera settings"? if yes, get all three files of it out of your main gta directory until the mod gets updated. this solved it for me.

MIne stopped working since last play without modding/tweaking in between. After 2 hours of fault finding. For me the extendedcamera settings mod I had seemed to be the issue. Delete that if you have it.
 
Edit: Seems others have found this to be the issue.. Link to mod https://www.gta5-mods.com/scripts/extended-camera-settings#comments_tab

place your replacing cars always into the LAST patchday directory. by the date of early October 2025 it should be this one:
 
\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\patchdayg9ecng\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf
 
edit: i'm sorry for confusing you, copied the wrong path. the right one is:
\mods\update\x64\dlcpacks\patch2025_01\dlc.rpf\x64\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf

@khorio I appreciate the response, and I was able to figure it out through a different method. The file name is CategoriesDat22.rel, the only issue that I ran into was that OIV could not edit such documents. Someone suggested using the Codewalker to open the file and I was able to edit the Heli volume, rotor volume and heli distance. No crashes either

we don't have any cristall ball to tell you the future. you have to be patient.

best way is to edit the visualsettings and carcols to your own likings. tons of how to's out there to find. in viualsettings you edit the general light effects (brightness, intensitiy) of all cars. in carcols you can turn off all coronas of the car f.e. that only emergency lights will have some like in your pic above. brightness of emergency lights i usually edit in the ytd's emissives but is mostly not necessary.

thx for this hint. after reading the specific callouts there it seems to be like...... having some clue what might happened.
i don't know why but i've always passed firey callouts without noticing it. i will try this one for sure! 👍

You could try Firey Callouts and see if you like that. 

you should state which part of the meta file was edited. to go through the whole file is a little bit too much 😉

sheriff2 uses the fbi2 handling just as park ranger as far as i know. if you want an own sheriff2 handling you have to create an own and add the lines to the meta

lol now i've seen that i've just forgot the "R" at the end of buccaneeR and so i was searching for the sound that he uses! 😄
 
thank you Charlie686!!! 👍

Hey there,
 
If you'd like to use the audio hash, you can use the following:
<audioNameHash>BUCCANEER</audioNameHash>  
I verified myself that it worked, so hopefully it does for you! 😄 

Hey!
POLICE4 uses the POLICE handling.meta entry.
Hopefully that's the clarification you were looking for. 😄
 

first retry failed again.
 
after rebooting my entire system and disabling av RPH works and modded GTA starts. 
 
thank you!

I can reproduce the problem on my own system, and have filed a report with Microsoft. When Defender is correctly disabled, RPH works again.
You can either wait for Microsoft to update their definitions or disable AV temporarily during start.

"Mods - update - update.rpf - x64 - data."

gameconfig works fine for me, i can play modded as usual again. thanks for the hint 😉

Have you tried installing all of the following?:

https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/packfile-limit-adjuster
 
Make sure to remove the _ from the mods folder after installing all of these, then boot GTAV.

roughstar dropped another update recently. there's nothing wrong with your downloads. you should not auto-update gta otherwise you have to wait until everything is updated, speaking of lspdfr and rph.

big thx for updating the scripthook under the most worst circumstances you could imagine! 
all best for you and your beloved ones!
