This script bypasses/disables the issuer check that GTA5.exe does. As a result, you can avoid the game refusing to start with the error code 16 for using a version of the exe older than the game build 2824.

This script bypasses/disables the issuer check that GTA5.exe does. As a result, you can avoid the game refusing to start with the error code 16 for using a version of the exe older than the game build 2824.
Installation Simply drop ExeIntegrityBypassAgainstRGL.asi into your Grand Theft Auto V folder. You can see ExeIntegrityBypassAgainstRGL.log created or updated if the ASI runs and the exe has the permission to write to the root folder (won't update the log if the permission is insufficient as logging is not mandatory). You will need appropriate update.rpf files (at least appropriate ysc script files) for the GTA5.exe you are planning to use (e.g. update.rpf for game build 2699 for the b2699 of GTA5.exe) because hashes for native functions are actually changed in most updates (but no native hash update between b2612 and b2699 at least).
Requirements The ASI loader. Script Hook V is not needed. Although this requires Visual C++ Redistributable 2019+ to run, You should have Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 installed already when you installed Rockstar Games Launcher.
