Hey! Unfortunately, the issue may be different depending on a combination of mods, plugins, etc. One potential solution seemed to be to remove MessageBoards if you have this installed. For some this has helped but there has also been debate around whether this is a cause. Based on my experience, it seemed to be YMAPs of some kind. I haven’t had the issue since, but we could be using different variations of SHV Nightly or SHV or various other plugins. Sorry I’m not able to help any further. All I can suggest is a 50:50 method of removal, and then go one by one OR reinstall and check after EVERY mod or plugin addition. It’s tedious but this was the method many of us had to take to find our own issues.

Yeah, I found that deleting any ymaps helped with this. But the best thing to do is perform a fully fresh reinstall, keeping track of each mod you add. It is a long process but it seems that each individual may have a different problem. These were definitely not the issue for me. Any DLC maps or ymaps are the most likely culprit. I systematically installed everything and did multiple tests adding and removing these particular things. When they were in the game they always caused the issue for me.

So, I think I solved the issue by reducing some of the ytd textures by half. If this didn't work, some vehicle files were totally 35000kb which was way too high. I swapped them out and this resolved the issue.

Hello Everyone, A few of my police vehicles have troublesome draw distances. Unfortunately changing the LOD to values of 500.00000 doesn't seem to be solving the issue. Does anyone have any other solutions to this problem? It is the PolDorado and FBI that are culprits!

Remove all of your vehicles and see if that changes anything. With reinstalling, start with LSPDFR and then EVERYTIME you add a new mod, ensure it is done with EDIT MODE on, you unpack OIV files and follow READ ME instructions and then START THE GAME. Everytime you add something new. It sound time-consuming (and it is) but it will save you a lot of time in the long run. Also, everytime you make a change, copy your mods folder and rename it with GRAND THEFT AUTO V - [NAME OF THE LATEST MOD INSTALLED]. In this way, you can keep track of what exactly is causing your issue. For me it was custom_maps or YMAPs.

After vigorous testing each evening, I think I may have discovered what is causing this issue. Below are the list of mods that are green-lit: However, OpenIV hit an error today and refused to open. I verified my files and it found issues with 14 files. When I got OpenIV working again, it had removed Custom_Maps and MapBuilder from my DLC list. When I readded them, the weapon animation glitch returned. After several tests of returning them and removing them, the consistent issue is related to Custom_Maps being in my DLC list. Essentially, if you ae having issues with this animation glitch, try removing Custom_Maps from your DLC list and any YMAPS. Hopefully that solves the issue.

So, I think I might have figured out the issue! Do you have an YMAPs installed or “custom_maps”?

Okay, so I tested them all again and so far the issue is not coming up again. However, the ONLY thing I did differently on this second install was install all OIVs manually. I did not simply drag and drop the OIV installer packages.. For the time being, this is what I recommend moving forward (regardless if it doesn't appear to contain files that relate to weaponanimation.meta). The only other thing I can think of is that it a RANDOM issue related to the core GTAV files. If the issue comes up again in any of my further installations, I will update here.

Hey Jack, Can I ask what mods and plugins you have installed? Also, any Custom maps and DLCs? I’m trying to pin down precisely what the issue is myself.

So I can confirm, so far that it is NOT one of these mods causing it OR a combination of them: San Andreas Remastered Enhanced (manually installed not OIV) Forests of San Andreas Revisited (manually installed not OIV) LightingFreeway Drive V RCA (Real Californian Architecture) DNX New Grand Senora Road (DANIX) DNX New Calafia Roads (DANIX) I’m now wondering if it may be due to YMAP installations or MapBuilder. I have MapEditor in my scripts file already, both ScriptHookV and ScriptHookVDotNet-Nightly build.

I know, it doesn’t for me either but I’m now installing each manually instead of OIV. It doesnt make sense to me either but these are the only mods installed on a completely new copy of GtAV with LSPDFR and Simple Trainer installed. I even deleted all my original save data from GTAV to ensure everything was fresh and deleted all copies of GTAV beforehand. It has to be one of these mods that is causing it.

Yep, so far I have determined it is one of these mods or a combination of them: - California Roads - Calafia Roads - Desert Roads - MileHighClub YMAP - Drive V - RCA - LED Tracks - Freeway Lighting - RemasteredEnhanced (Forests of SA) - Forests of San Andreas - Forest of San Andreas reflections I was checking them one by one and then became lazy and checked the weapons after installing all the Forests and LED stuff and the weapon issue returned! I didn’t expect it from any of these mods tbh.

Hey Lenny, Not a problem at all! I would have said but couldn’t comment on the post. I’m going to go with a full install and start with mods first to rule those out before moving to LSPDFR/ plugins and scripts. I’ll just keep periodically backing up mods folder until I find the issue. I think it must be dependent on an individual’s combination of mods/plugins that causes the issue - most likely anything that amends the vehicleanimations.meta. Do you recommend avoiding oiv file installs and doing them manually?

Thanks mate, that’s helpful. One person has suggested it could also be a plugin but I agree - I think it is a combination of something. When I reset my mods folder, I was having inconsistent issues with this animation, so it can only be a plugin of some kind. I’m doing a full reinstall of it all today with careful testing when I get back from work, so will see if I have the same issues as you. I think it could be possible that CopHolster may cause this issue when combined with other mods perhaps, as it clearly affects weapons animations for draw. I’ll try it initially without this and immersive effects. Another one that has been mentioned is Rich’s plugin, where a reinstall of this then helped someone. Hopefully we can find out because it’s really irritating!
