With the new launcher I am trying to find a way to play GTA and LSPDFR in the event another update comes and breaks the game and Scripthook V. Is there a way to play the game offline but log in to verify the profile?
 
Before I was able to play offline with the -scOfflineOnly command which allowed me to play with full functionality even when an update came out. I was wondering if the new launcher allows that considering I overhead somewhere here that the new launcher does allow it but due to a bug it doesn't. Did rockstar release a fix for that yesterday with the 82 mb update for the launcher?

Launch GTAV while online? then what is the point of offline mode if you have to be online 24/7?
 
Maybe some of us don't have a reliable net connection or don't want to have our games broken by updates.

The good news about this update is that it only comes with the shitty DRM launcher no game file changes, which a modder in our community hopefully will make a bypass mod for it. Seriously it's BS we have to be online just to play GTA singleplayer.
 
The game files for this update are intact and it should be for the rest of you, I went to OpenIV immediately after the update to see if it would ask me to copy the new update.rpf over, and to my relief it didn't. I knew if I had to do this it would break a LOT of mods including the RAGE weapons & vehicles enhancer, my LSPDFR cars, and the ROF mod for the pistols, basically a lot of mods that took me several hours to days to install.
 
I just played LSPDFR no problem and all works fine even the ASI mods thanks to an ASI support plugin for RAGE (basically to run ASI's until SHV is updated you need to run RAGE). Only simple trainer for me doesn't work which sucks considering I got my patrol gear loadout on that.
 
Again someone will make a bypass mod for the new launcher, angry modders are motivated modders we just have to be patient.
