    1. Inside update.rpf, navigate to common\data\timecycle\, then open timecycle_mods_1.xml.
    2. Inside timecycle_mods_1.xml, search for nextgen, then directly under it, change all values related to the lens_dist_coeff, lens_dist_cube_coeff, chrom_aberration_coeff, and chrom_aberration_coeff2 settings to 0.000.
    3. Save the file.
  8. Disabling depth of field:

    2. Inside visualsettings.dat, search for the defaultmotionblur.enabled and defaultmotionblur.strength settings and change their values to 0 and 0.0, respectively.
    3. Save the file.
Use Completely Disable Motion Blur
Use No Chromatic aberration & Lens distortion

Notes

This mod also removes the lens distortion and film grain effects.
Use No Far DOF / No Edge Blur / No Chromatic Aberration

Notes

This mod provides separate folders with files to exclusively remove the far DOF effect or the edge blur and chromatic aberration effects combined; only the files within the NO far blur folder have to be used.
This mod does not include a modified w_halloween file, however that should have no negative effect in practice as this file is only used in GTA Online.

Notes

Some users have reported slower-loading textures when using the Self-Radio station. Suggested to be an issue when the CPU is already bottlenecking the game and transcoding the custom music bringing additional load to the CPU. Suggested to use 48 kHz 16-bit signed WAV files (normal format and bitrate of the in-game radio) instead of MP3 files to avoid this issue.[16][17]

  1. Unplug all the USB devices.
  2. Plug back in one of the USB devices.

The activation resets around every week and requires to be renewed by running the game in online mode when the ""Unable to access Rockstar servers. Activation requires Internet connection." error appears. Doing this will make the game playable in offline mode again until the next activation reset.[24]

"Dependency MFREADWRITE.DLL is missing. Please reinstall the game" error

Launch options

It is possible to alter the way the game runs by creating a file called commandline.txt and saving it to <path-to-game>, or by using parameters as command line arguments.
See Rockstar's list of available command line entries.

OpenIV

Used to install mods that are packaged in .oiv format.
Required for mods which expect the user to package their contents into a format usable by the game.
The game requires the dinput8.dll ASI Loader file and the OpenIV.asi OpenIV plugin to allow loading of ASI mods and modified RPF files as their signature is removed when editing them.[29] These modifications won't allow the game to boot into Online, so dinput8.dll must be removed to play Online. This will not remove any of the mods - merely the ASI Loader.
Modifying files outside the mods directory used by OpenIV will force the user to use OpenIV.asi to run the game all the time.

Modifications

Mods are safe to use in story mode, however, the games' anti-tamper solution will detect them and prohibit online-play until they are uninstalled (applies to all mods).[30]
Script Hook may be a prerequisite for some mods.
