Got a steam deck yesterday, installed windows 11 pro and went to download GTA V. For some reason it was downloading slow so I went to bed. Woke up this morning and i had a 4 gb update. Now im screwed for a few days 😂
My advice to those who never backed up their previous version. Go to your main directory and save the 5 GTAV files onto your computer now. Wham-bam you are now backed up before the next inevitable update!
Backed up everytning except the GTA BE exe and game crashes when when it tries to hook, game runs fine with normal launch, battle eye is disabled in rockstar launcher any ideas, maybe i just have to wait now
Average is 2- 5 days. Depends mostly on Script Hook V if you have certain mods that require it. LSPDFR & RageHook update pretty fast and you can still play lspdfr without script hook. But you can't use ELS, trainers and several other mods. You would need to keep an eye out for this website here www.dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv/ you can refresh that page in a few days and see when Script Hook V updates. BTW, I have done videos in the past encouraging people to be prepared for the December updates. Happens every year around December 10th.
Only ONE will update. If you have a folder named Grand Theft Auto V - this will be the one that it updates. So technically it is possible as I did not share this on the video as it may get too complicated, the one you have named Grand Theft Auto V will update, but after the update, if you rename it to something like Grand Theft Auto V - copy and then rename Grand Theft Auto - lspdfr back to Grand Theft Auto V ..... the game will not want to update the folder. Theoretically it can stay this way. However, after a fresh reboot, it might 'try' to update, but it normally doesn't for me. So sometimes I never have to even revert that way.
It's weird i did this first time 5 months ago and it worked every time. Now i tried it and it does not work anymore. I do it and Rockstar launcher always tells me "game is outdated please update it on steam" but i have already made the Update
@@BlueLineVibescan you explain what you mean, I don’t really understand. I also updated gta by accident and now can’t get on, is there anyway I can revert now?
nice I didnt do this now I gotta wait 3 weeks, yay you wouldnt be chance have the old files to send to me because I finally got my mods to work yesterday and tbh I cant be asked to wait 3 weeks to go through the hasle again
I had a backed up copy of everything and followed the steps in this video. However, when rockstar launcher open it starts to try and update. Did i miss something? My GTA 5 is retail but played through Steam for controller use.
Typically this method rarely works for Rockstar Games Retail version (some call it Rockstar Launcher version) some have success with having two folders. One plain GTA folder and the other one modded. They prepare by renaming the modded folder to something like Grand Theft Auto V - Modded and keep their original Grand Theft Auto V named by default. After the update hits and game updates that folder, some will rename the folder back and it seems to work that way. But .... this would mean you would need to be prepared. Most do not do that.
@@caseygillock8131 Doubt it. I just hope that it doesn't go to Epic games first for a full year and then finally Steam. Typically Consoles will get it first, but It would be nice to have it all released on at the same time.
I updated gta without knowing rph or script hook hasn’t had an update yet, does this mean I have to wait for the next update or can I revert the acts gta v back from v3407 too v3351
If you backed up your files as the video shows, you are good. If you didn't backup the files as shown on the video, you will have to wait. Your Script Hook and RageHook stay the same version for the version you had backed up
Will this let me play a version before the Battle Eye client was made mandatory? I'm not a scripter. I just want to be able to play GTA online locally without Battle Eye. I refuse to install that software on my PC. If I can finally play GTA online again without Battle Eye I will be happy. I held off for years and finally started playing like a month before the Battle Eye patch.
It is worth a try but can't confirm. Some say it does not. Then again, people use to say the same thing about Epic Games and I can confirm that it works with that.
@@BlueLineVibes I was wondering the same thing, however, I think R* launcher verifies the game files and they're version with the current released ones backed on their servers every time the game is ran, however this method I have not tried yet before, so lets hope.
Hey, I need your help. I followed the tutorial (but unfortunately didn't make a backup of the GTA5_BE file at the time. I've been playing the version for a long time. Despite that, I've always been able to revert the game. Now I wanted to revert the game again today, but unfortunately it didn't work. As soon as I start Ragepluginhook, a black window from the Rockstar Launcher opens and says that I need to update the game. As I said, I've reverted all the files except GTA5_BE. Can you help me with this in any way? I don't want to reinstall everything🫶🏻
As of the time of writing this comment back to you, the update has not dropped yet. Why are you reverting? I am confused. Take this time to validate the integrity of your game files now before the update hits later this morning. It should download the GTA5_BE again for you more than likely. Not sure if you will need it or not though.
@@BlueLineVibes Thank you very much for the quick reply. Weird. I don't know if it's because I'm from Germany - but I already had a 1.9GB update this morning. That's why I reverted. And despite that, it doesn't work anymore and I'm told that I need to update the game. I had the game checked for errors. After that, I could start the new version. But as soon as I revert, it doesn't start anymore and gives me the Rockstar Launcher message saying that the game needs to be updated.
@frozen.q2 hab dasselbe problem weder sp noch lspdfr funktionieren nachdem update. bekommst du auch die meldung nachdem downgrade das du das spiel aktualisieren musst ? das ist das erste mal das für mich nicht funktioniert
Thank you mike u saved me my game is updating now
I have mine already backed up from the last update, so I'm prepared for the next already.
Edited: If you haven't already done the steps covered in this video, you have to wait for Script Hook V.
There is no way to turn off steam updates, there is 3 options and none of them is to turn off updates.
@@LoonerStud Yeah, I realized that right after... just gotta wait... :(
Yep, gotta be prepared.
Awesome video my bro!

sadness upon me I accidentally unpacked the exes instead of adding them to archive
Finding this video after it already updated fuckin blows lol
I can imagine. Or finding my video that I did 2 years ago on this channel with the same exact instructions would also blow as well 😄
bro I freakin love you
well im fucked do you know when we who missed this can play again

thank you so much for the tutorial, i can finally play LSPDFR!
Omg i was like yo this voice sounds so familiar... I forgot who you were 😭😭😭
Quick question. If i have two gta's named differently will both update or only one? (grand theft auto V and Grand theft auto V - lspdfr)
Both will update, but it’s your job to revert one of them as shown to be able to play lspdfr.
Only ONE will update. If you have a folder named Grand Theft Auto V - this will be the one that it updates. So technically it is possible as I did not share this on the video as it may get too complicated, the one you have named Grand Theft Auto V will update, but after the update, if you rename it to something like Grand Theft Auto V - copy and then rename Grand Theft Auto - lspdfr back to Grand Theft Auto V ..... the game will not want to update the folder.

Good looking out 😳

My GTA just updated, I came too late…. Any ideas how I can get back to my lspdfr??
same bro
@@benz0695 me too ;-;
You would have to wait for everything to update. My Revert video from 2 years ago still works as well. Why not have the files backup up?
@@BlueLineVibescan you explain what you mean, I don’t really understand. I also updated gta by accident and now can’t get on, is there anyway I can revert now?
@@danielhone1462 search on UA-cam how to revert lspdfr, you can do it unless you bought the game through rockstar launcher
First! amazing vid as always!
Been doing this for a few years.
nice I didnt do this now I gotta wait 3 weeks, yay you wouldnt be chance have the old files to send to me because I finally got my mods to work yesterday and tbh I cant be asked to wait 3 weeks to go through the hasle again
Sorry, that would be against the TOS by Rockstar Games.
@@BlueLineVibes ah alright ye I saw that after posting this, no worries at all dude
THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS U 🙏, I AM SUBSCRIBING!! Btw is it normal for the mods not showing up?
Nope not normal, if you renamed your mods folder back as the video mentioned, should see all of your mods in mods folder.
@@BlueLineVibes okay, thank you, I'll try it
@BlueLineVibes I'm still getting that error sadly
Bro launcher won’t let anybody play if it’s not updated💔😭 we need that fix
I had a backed up copy of everything and followed the steps in this video. However, when rockstar launcher open it starts to try and update. Did i miss something? My GTA 5 is retail but played through Steam for controller use.
This works for Steam and Epic Games
In theory, am I safe if I have automatic updates off?
Usually does not work. Thought of that years ago, yet Steam loves to update the game still. But worth a try ;)
i did everything but the rockstar launcher forces a update everytime i change the files
Doesn’t work for rockstar launcher unfortunately, just found that out
it might work iff you have rage plugin hoook and backup using that
Typically this method rarely works for Rockstar Games Retail version (some call it Rockstar Launcher version) some have success with having two folders. One plain GTA folder and the other one modded.

Will they still keep updating gta5 once gta6 comes out? Im hoping they will leave it alone then.
They will more than likely for a short time, probably for about a year or so. They did that for GTA IV as well.
@@BlueLineVibes now let's hope 6 comes out on pc also at the start.

Actual gta*
If you backed up your files as the video shows, you are good. If you didn't backup the files as shown on the video, you will have to wait. Your Script Hook and RageHook stay the same version for the version you had backed up
Do you know roughly how long it will take before the new updates for lspdfr and rph?

No battleeye is mandatory for gta online and you can't play online if you aren't on the newest game build
You would need to have Battleeye enabled to play online. I am curious though, why do you need Battleeye off if you are playing online?
@@BlueLineVibes honestly i can only think of one reason; cheating
Not really another reason why you would want an anti cheat to be off
@@ElmoPlayss You have a very limited imagination my friend.
What I can do if I didnt have any backup files?
You wait
can you share the backup files?
Nope that is against TOS by Rockstar Games
Due to my time zone i am to late is there anything i cant do besides waint for a rage update?
Nope, would need to wait for an update
@@BlueLineVibes how long does it usealy take for them?
@@BlueLineVibes never mind i still hat a 3351 backup laying around i thaugt you also need the old rage files. thank you you saved my evening 👍
Benzo, does this work for retail??
Doubt it
@@BlueLineVibes Yeah I got to test on my own hahaha Time to wait!!
Does this work for rockstar game launcher ?
i dont think so, i did everthing but i still can't play
I doubt. Best way to mod GTA 5 is on Steam. I think the price is like $14 now. To me, Steam is always better hands down.
does this work for rockstar launcher copy

not working from rockstar games launcher
This works for Steam and Epic Games, I didn't mention Rockstar Games Launcher / Retail version.
can u give us these files?
Nah that is direct violation of the TOS from Rockstar. Since I make content as a second job, it is not worth losing my income.
doesn't work
Of course it does, been doing this for years and it still worked today in fact. 😅
