That clearly looks like the livery is based on the wrong template for that car model. You say that the texture matches the model year of the car - but, you still have to make sure the bse template matches the base model that you are using. Different devs may use different base model cars for their final product release - there are a few 2018 Charger base models out there - Matt, GM, for example.

Anyhow - I did check out the Clayton County livery and the South Fulton model pack you linked above. I figured out your issue.

Was looking the pic you posted, and the unit number (782......6, I think) that shows up on the trunk lid instead of the roof? Once I saw how the livery dev organized his pack - I had a look at the 2023 Charger liveries............and, there isn't one with 782anything in it. The 2023 list only has 7842, 7844, and 7897.

However - I had a look at the other model year Chargers in the livery pack. And, in the 2014 list...........there is a 7825, and a 7826. And, obviously it is a completely different template. Tried it out on the 2023 Charger model - same look as you have.

However, if you install one of the liveries from the 2023 Charger folder on the 2023 Charger model.............works fine


Alright? I assume it would the same with the other model pack you linked, since it is also from Scorpionfam. Should be an easy fix for you.........just make sure you are installing a livery from the right model year folder, onto the same model year car.

Well, I managed to sort this out myself - thanks to anyone who read it, and put some thought into it, though!

LOL........gotta love/hate this game, right?!?!  It definitely was a simple fix - I stumbled across another video on YouTube posted a few years ago.  And, it was something obvious.  Best advice - always backtrack through whatever you have done lately!

As part of working through the original "unable to launch, try reinstall" issue that many were having - which turned out to be that args.txt file - one of the possible issues I read about/saw in a different YouTube video, was changing compatability settings.  In the both the GTAV.exe, and GTAVLauncher.exe files - the suggested fix was to check off "Run as Administrator".  I did that, no help - until seeing all the args.txt comments here.

But, apparently the game ultimately did not like that!  The more recent video I watched for my specific issue now, the "unable to launch GTA5.exe" error, mentioned the same file compatability checks.......but to make sure those WERE NOT checked off.  I unchecked them.......

Sure enough.........problem fixed!   Maybe this weill help someone else down the road.

Man....this game!
