Sorry for this being the 50,432nd post about this, but I'm not entirely sure what's going on. As detailed as I can from the top...
So! I'd stopped regularly playing lspdfr around mid November last year. So I'm not sure if this might've been triggered by an update.
A few days ago I tried launching for the first time in a while with mods enabled, everything as it was the last time I launched, it kept crashing during the Loading Story Mode screens. Both from launching with Ragehook & regularly through Steam.
So I updated ragehook, & lspdfr. Or at least re downloaded & installed them, I didn't check if I actually had an older version. That had no effect on the crashes, so I disabled the mods folder through openIV, which then allowed the game to launch. So I thought that seemed a little interesting.
So my next step was to remove the mods folder, while keeping the ASI loaders on openiv still enabled. That worked as well.
Then I deleted the mods folder, made a new one, & collected a completely new group of mods to install. Installed them, all of the ytfs & ytds previewed correctly when I tested them in openiv. Launched GTA with Ragehook, crashed during loading story mode again.
So I repeated the testing of the mods folder to see if disabling / removing that would allow the game to load. It does, both by disabling the ASI loaders in openiv or physically removing the mods folder.
So! My mind next went to is openiv out of date. Not from what I could see, running 2.8, all I could find were downloads for 2.8.
This is when I started to get a little stumped, I had a gloss through the logs I could find, & to be honest I don't really know what I'm looking for in them.
My keen detective skills tell me it's a problem with how the mods have been installed.
The mods in particular are a fairly standard mid/late 90s pack.

I think that's all of the relevant information... Those are the logs I could find with the correct dates, so if I'm missing any give a yell.
Hopefully it's something small, or I'm just being an idiot. Any help I could get would be absolutely awesome.
