Better Chases Plus overhauls GTA V's police and wanted-level system into a deeper, more realistic experience.
- Progressive wanted system. Chases escalate from 1 to 5 stars based on what you actually do (fleeing, reckless driving, hitting peds or cops, drawing or firing weapons), not random chance.
- Realistic, proportional police response. Backup, PIT maneuvers, and lethal force are authorized in stages as a chase intensifies.
- Line-of-sight witness system. Police only track you if they can actually see you. Break their line of sight and their awareness fades.
- Arrest Warrant system. Escaping is not the end. Police issue a warrant for you and your vehicle description. Get spotted looking the same and the chase resumes. Change clothes or repaint or swap your vehicle to throw them off. Warrants save and load with your game.
- 12 languages, automatic. Police radio text appears in your game's language with nothing to configure. New in 1.1.0.
NEW IN 1.1.0
- "Display Notifications" now actually works. Turning it off previously did nothing for chase notifications - the setting was read and shown in the menu, but the chase code never checked it, so "FLEEING", "ARMED SUSPECT" and the rest appeared regardless. Reported by Elroh. The same check is missing in the original mod, so this is inherited behaviour rather than something the Enhanced port introduced.
- 12 translations included. French, German, Italian, Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Simplified Chinese. The mod matches your game's language automatically - no setting to change. English is built in.
- Long lines are no longer cut off. The game caps a single notification line at 99 bytes, and translated text is usually longer than the English it replaces, so lines were being truncated mid-word.
- Two config options that were missing from the file are now written out: SurrenderKey (default E) and SurrenderButton (default Cover). They always worked, they just were not listed anywhere you could find them.
No gameplay, balance, spawn, wanted-level or arrest-warrant logic was changed.
THE PROBLEM IT SOLVES
Vanilla GTA V police are omniscient. The moment you are wanted, every cop magically knows where you are, and stars just tick down on a timer. Better Chases Plus replaces that with believable cause and effect. Cops investigate what they witnessed, lose you when you genuinely break away, search your last known position, and only give up when nobody can re-acquire you.
THIS IS AN ENHANCED ADAPTATION ONLY
This is strictly a port of the existing mod to GTA V Enhanced. It preserves the original gameplay and balance logic as closely as possible. Only Enhanced compatibility and UI integration changes were made. The mod was recompiled for the Enhanced script runtime (ScriptHookVDotNet Enhanced), with the UI moved to LemonUI.
All credit for Better Chases Plus belongs to its original creators.

- Eddlm, original mod it continues: gta5-mods.com/scripts/better-chases-arrest-warrant
- Guadmaz, original work it is based on.
Ported to Enhanced by b3hold. I claim no ownership of the mod itself.
STORY MODE ONLY
This mod is for single-player Story Mode only. Do NOT use it in GTA Online. Script Hook V does not work online and will close the game when you enter multiplayer.
REQUIRED MODS (Enhanced)
This will not work without these.
- Script Hook V with Enhanced support: dev-c.com/gtav/scripthookv
- ScriptHookVDotNet Enhanced (SHVDNE), a recent version: gta5-mods.com/tools/script-hook-v-net-enhanced. This build is compiled against ScriptHookVDotNet3 3.9.0.0. if your SHVDNE is older than that the mod may not load at all, with no message in game, so update it first. SHVDNE installs into your GTA V Enhanced game root folder (the main game folder), NOT the scripts folder. Make sure all of these are present in the game root: ScriptHookVDotNet.asi, ScriptHookVDotNet2.dll, ScriptHookVDotNet3.dll, ScriptHookVDotNet.ini, and MinHook.x64.dll (required since v1.1.0.0).
- LemonUI, download separately because the menu requires it: gta5-mods.com/tools/lemonui. MIT licensed. Copy LemonUI.SHVDN3.dll into your scripts folder.
HOW TO INSTALL
- 1. Install the required mods above first.
- 2. Copy BetterChasesPlus.Enhanced.dll, BetterChasesConfig.xml and the whole Languages folder into your Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced scripts folder.
- 3. Also make sure LemonUI.SHVDN3.dll is in your scripts folder.
- 4. Launch GTA V Enhanced in Story Mode.
- 5. Press F7 in-game to open the menu.
The Languages folder is what gives you translated text. Skip it and everything stays in English, which still works fine.
Upgrading from an earlier version: replace the .dll and copy the Languages folder across. Your settings and arrest warrants are kept.
Settings save to your AppData Roaming folder, under BetterChasesPlus then Enhanced.
The mod package also includes a separate README file with full installation, configuration, and troubleshooting details, so you can find exactly what you are looking for.
FAQ
The F7 menu will not open or nothing happens.
Make sure LemonUI.SHVDN3.dll is in your scripts folder and that ScriptHookVDotNet Enhanced loaded correctly. Also check ScriptHookVDotNet.log in your game root for errors.
The mod does not load at all.
Most often this is an out-of-date SHVDNE - this build is compiled against ScriptHookVDotNet3 3.9.0.0, and an older SHVDNE can refuse to load it silently. Update SHVDNE first. Then make sure all SHVDNE root files are present in your game folder, including MinHook.x64.dll, which is required since SHVDNE v1.1.0.0. Missing MinHook is the next most common reason nothing loads. The mod also writes its own log to your AppData Roaming folder under BetterChasesPlus then Enhanced - if that log says "Configuration script initialized" the mod started fine and the problem is elsewhere.
I edited BetterChasesConfig.xml and nothing changed.
You probably edited the wrong copy. After the first launch the mod reads its settings from your AppData Roaming folder, under BetterChasesPlus then Enhanced. The copy in your scripts folder is only used to create that file the first time, and is ignored afterwards. Edit the AppData copy, or just use the F7 menu, which always saves to the right place.
How do I turn off the notifications above the minimap.
In the F7 menu, or in the AppData copy of BetterChasesConfig.xml. There are two separate settings with the same name, one under BetterChases for the chase notifications and one under ArrestWarrants for the warrant ones - set both to false to silence all of them. ShowHUD, ShowBigMessages and DisplayHints control the icons, the big centre-screen messages and the top-left hints respectively.
The text is in English even though my game is not.
Check that you copied the Languages folder into your scripts folder. If your game is set to a language that has no file, or to English, you will see English - that is the intended fallback and nothing is broken.
My game is in English but I want another language.
Open the AppData copy of BetterChasesConfig.xml and change Language: Auto to the file name you want, for example Language: German, then restart. Valid values are the file names in the Languages folder without the .xml. "Auto" follows your game.
A translation reads badly. Can I fix it.
Yes, please do. Open the file in the Languages folder, edit the Value parts and leave the Key parts alone. There is also a Template.xml with every line blank if you want to start a new language. Send corrections in the comments and I will include them with credit. The translations were done to get every language covered, so some wording will not be idiomatic.
Cops lose me too fast or give up too easily. Is it broken.
No. That is part of the Better Chases Plus design. Police tracking is based on visibility and awareness. Break line of sight and stay hidden and their awareness fades instead of tracking you forever. Adjust recognition speed with Overall Spot Speed in the F7 menu.
Does it work in GTA Online.
No. Story Mode only. Script Hook V does not work in multiplayer.
Is there a Legacy version for old GTA V.
Yes. This is only the Enhanced port. The original Legacy version is Daimian: gta5-mods.com/scripts/better-chases
Where are my settings and warrants saved.
In your AppData Roaming folder, under BetterChasesPlus then Enhanced.
It conflicts with another wanted-level mod. What should I do.
Open the F7 menu and set Wanted Level Control to Passive so Better Chases Plus defers to the other mod. Only use this if the other mod also changes wanted-level behavior.
Can I modify or reupload it.
Contact the original author, Daimian, for permission. I only made the Enhanced port and do not own the original mod.

If you would like to support the original developer, you can support Daimian through the PayPal link on the main Better Chases Plus page: gta5-mods.com/scripts/better-chases.

I changed the MenuKey and checked if the files where in the correct place. The only thing I can't find is the ScriptHookVDotNet.log file.
19 Ιούνιος 2026 -
@Swervx The log is not inside the `scripts` folder. It should be in your main GTA V Enhanced folder, the same place where `GTA5_Enhanced.exe` and `ScriptHookVDotNet.asi` are.
Usually that folder is:
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced\`
Look there for:
`ScriptHookVDotNet.log`
Also check if there is:
`ScriptHookVDotNet.error.log`
That one is even more useful if something failed.
A few things to check:
1. Make sure Windows is not hiding file extensions. In File Explorer, go to `View > Show > File name extensions`, then look again.
2. Use the search box inside your GTA V Enhanced folder and search for:
`ScriptHookVDotNet`
3. Do not confuse it with `ScriptHookV.log`. That is a different log.
If there is no `ScriptHookVDotNet.log` at all after launching the game, then SHVDNE probably is not loading correctly, or it cannot create the log file. In that case, check that `ScriptHookVDotNet.asi` is really in the game root next to the `.exe`.
If you find the log, open it, scroll to the bottom, and paste the last 15 to 20 lines here. I mainly need to see whether `BetterChasesPlus.Config` starts correctly or if it fails because of `LemonUI.SHVDN3.dll`.
19 Ιούνιος 2026 -
@Swervx Also, just to clarify: I just tested the mod again on my side with the menu working and also without opening the menu, and both cases worked fine for me. The chase logic itself loads separately, but the F7 menu depends on LemonUI. So if the chase behavior works but the menu does not open, it is most likely still an install/log issue around LemonUI or SHVDNE rather than the mod logic itself.
19 Ιούνιος 2026 -
@Swervx Just to add more detail, here is what my `ScriptHookVDotNet.log` shows on a clean test:
`Loading assembly BetterChasesPlus.Enhanced.dll ...`
`Found 6 script(s) in BetterChasesPlus.Enhanced.dll`It also loads LemonUI:
`Loading assembly LemonUI.SHVDN3.dll ...`
Then every Better Chases+ script starts correctly:
`Started script BetterChasesPlus.ArrestWarrants.`
`Started script BetterChasesPlus.BetterChases+BetterChasesActive.`
`Started script BetterChasesPlus.BetterChases+BetterChasesPassive.`
`Started script BetterChasesPlus.Config.`
`Started script BetterChasesPlus.Renderer.`
`Started script BetterChasesPlus.Witnesses.`The important line for the F7 menu is `Started script BetterChasesPlus.Config.` That means the menu/config script is loading correctly when LemonUI is installed properly.
So if your chase behavior works but F7 does not open, the next thing I need is your own `ScriptHookVDotNet.log`, because that will show whether `BetterChasesPlus.Config` is starting on your setup or failing because of LemonUI / SHVDNE / keybind issues.

Hello,
First of all, thank you for creating and maintaining the Enhanced version of this mod. I really appreciate the work you've put into it.
I have a small issue, though. In the configuration I have set the following options to false:
<ShowHUD>false</ShowHUD>
<ShowNotifications>false</ShowNotifications>
<ShowBigMessages>false</ShowBigMessages>However, I still receive notifications above the minimap, such as "Suspect Fleeing" (or similar messages). Is there a way to completely disable these notifications? They are a bit distracting during gameplay.
Alternatively, would it be possible to make these messages configurable, or allow custom translations? I would be happy to provide a German translation for the mod if that would be helpful.
Thank you for your time, and keep up the great work!
Best regards

@Elroh Thanks for the kind words, and especially for taking the time to write such a detailed report. You found a genuine bug, so this was not caused by anything on your end.
You were right to expect the setting to work. The `<ShowNotifications>` option under `<BetterChases>` was being loaded from the config and displayed correctly in the menu, but the chase code never actually checked it. Because of that, notifications such as “Suspect Fleeing” were always shown above the minimap, regardless of what the option was set to.
That has now been fixed, and the setting works as intended.
For context, I also checked the original mod’s source code. The same option exists and appears in the menu there, but the chase notifications are posted without checking the setting. This means the issue was inherited from the original mod rather than introduced by the Enhanced port. It simply went unnoticed until you reported it.
The arrest-warrant notifications are handled correctly in both versions, which is why that part has always worked.
A couple of things that may help in the meantime:
1. The `<ShowNotifications>` option under `<ArrestWarrants>` is a separate setting with the same name. That one already works, so warrant notifications can be disabled now.
2. It is worth double-checking which configuration file you edited. After the first launch, the mod reads its settings from:
`%appdata%\BetterChasesPlus\Enhanced\BetterChasesConfig.xml`
The copy inside the scripts folder is only used to create that file during the first launch. After that, changes made to the scripts-folder copy are ignored. The F7 menu always saves to the correct location.
This may also explain why settings such as `ShowHUD` and `ShowBigMessages` did not appear to change.
Regarding translations, yes, I would really appreciate your help. I have added a translation system specifically for this, so you will not need to write any code.
Inside the `Languages` folder, you will find `_Template.xml`. You can copy it, rename the copy to `German.xml`, translate the values, and place it back inside the `Languages` folder.
The mod automatically detects the player’s game language, so German players will receive the German translation without needing to configure anything. Any entries left blank will remain in English, so a partial translation is completely fine. I can also include your translation in the official download and credit you for it.
Both changes are already complete and will be included together in version 1.1.0:
* The notification toggle now works correctly.
* Translation support has been added.I still have a couple of final checks to complete before releasing the update, but it is close. I will reply here as soon as it is available.
Thanks again for the report and for offering to help.

Hey @B3hold,
From my brief testing so far, everything seems to be working as intended now. The translation is also mostly complete, which I'm happy with. There are still a few places where the wording could probably be improved, but that's nothing major. It would just require some longer-term testing to catch the remaining inconsistencies.
My main priority was being able to disable the HUD, so the translation was always a secondary concern.
Thanks for the update! I can finally use the mod the way I wanted.
Best regards!

@Elroh I’m glad to hear everything is working properly now, and thank you for testing the update.
We are a small team focused on bringing GTA V Legacy mods to GTA V Enhanced, while also developing new mods of our own. If you ever have a request, suggestion, or idea for another mod, feel free to contact us. We are always open to feedback from players.
Thanks again for your help and support!

does anyone know why the language translation isn't working? i'm playing through steam, and the game is set to russian localization
29 Ιούλιος 2026 -
Expand to read the full comment
@remarqa Hi remarqa,
Russian is included and working. I tested it in game before release, so this is
most likely an installation issue. Here are the three quickest things to check:1. Make sure you copied the Languages folder.
This is the most common cause. The folder is included in the download and must
be placed in your scripts folder alongside the DLL:...\Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced\scripts\Languages\Russian.xml
If you updated by only replacing BetterChasesPlus.Enhanced.dll, the Languages
folder will be missing, which means everything stays in English. Copy the folder
over and restart the game.2. Make sure you are using version 1.1.0.
Translations were added in version 1.1.0. Older versions are English only.
3. Make sure GTA V itself is set to Russian.
The mod reads the game's language, which may be different from the language
selected in Steam. Check Settings > Language in GTA V. If the game is set to
English, the mod will use English too.TO SEE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED
Open this log file (you can paste the path into the File Explorer address bar):
%appdata%\BetterChasesPlus\Enhanced\BetterChasesPlus.Enhanced.log
Look for the most recent language line:
Loaded language "Russian" (111 entries).
Russian loaded correctly, so the problem is elsewhere - let me know.No language file for "Russian"; using built-in English text.
The mod wants Russian but cannot find Russian.xml. That is point 1 -
the Languages folder is missing or in the wrong place.No language file for "American"; ... (or any other language)
GTA V is not currently set to Russian. That is point 3.YOU CAN ALSO FORCE RUSSIAN
Open:
%appdata%\BetterChasesPlus\Enhanced\BetterChasesConfig.xml
Look for this line near the bottom:
<Language>Auto</Language>
and change it to:
<Language>Russian</Language>
If that line is not there, you are on a settings file created by an older
version - just add it yourself on its own line, right before the final
</BetterChasesPlus>:<Language>Russian</Language>
</BetterChasesPlus>Then restart the game.
Important: edit the file in the AppData folder, not the copy in your scripts
folder. The scripts copy is only used the very first time the mod runs and is
ignored afterwards.If it still does not work, paste the language line from the log here and I will
help you sort it out.29 Ιούλιος 2026 -
@b3hold whats the difference between this mod and the BetterChaseRemade because that mod dose work for both game version i try this and the other mod and i don't really see nothing chances the other mod have more features implemented just curious or this i just for Enhanced ?
29 Ιούλιος 2026 -
@iiDewMexii They are two different mods, not two versions of the same thing.
This one is a port. Better Chases+ was made by Guadmaz, continued by Eddlm, and
is maintained by Daimian. My only job here was getting that specific mod running
correctly on GTA V Enhanced - recompiled for the Enhanced script runtime, menu
moved to LemonUI. The goal is that it behaves exactly like Daimian's original, so
I deliberately have not added features or changed the balance. If it feels the
same as the Legacy version, that is the point.BetterChaseRemade is a separate mod by a different author, written from scratch
rather than derived from Better Chases+. Since it is its own codebase, it is free
to add whatever features it wants and to support both game versions. I have not
done a feature-by-feature comparison and I would rather not guess at what it does
- its own page will describe it better than I can.So: if BetterChaseRemade has features you want and it works on your setup, use it.
I mean that genuinely. Mine exists for people who specifically want Daimian's
Better Chases+ on Enhanced, unchanged.One important thing though - do not run both at the same time. Both control the
wanted level, and two mods fighting over it gives unpredictable results, which
could be exactly why you are not seeing much change. Pick one and remove the
other, then test. If you ever do want both installed for some reason, open F7 >
Wanted Level Control and set it to Passive so this mod defers to the other one.And if the mod is not doing anything at all on its own, that is usually SHVDNE
being out of date, or the Languages folder / LemonUI.SHVDN3.dll not being in the
scripts folder. Happy to help you check.29 Ιούλιος 2026 -
I did everything right but when I open gta and click story mode my game crashes. I don't know if its because I have other mods installed or I messed up with script folder.

@Thomas_141 Yeah, it’s already fully included and enabled by default, so you don’t need to install anything extra.
If you manage to escape a chase, the warrant system remembers both you and the vehicle separately. Police can recognize either one later, so changing cars can help you avoid the vehicle part of the warrant. Recognition also gets weaker as the warrant gets closer to expiring, and the duration depends on how many stars you escaped with.
You can change all of this, or disable the warrant system completely, through the F7 menu.
Also, just to clear up the naming because it can be confusing: the “Better Chases + Arrest Warrant” page is Eddlm’s older mod that Better Chases+ is based on. You don’t need it as a separate add-on. The warrant system is already built directly into Better Chases+.

@Nick9128 The language isn’t changed through the F7 menu. You need to set it in the config file.
A couple things to check:
1. Make sure `...\scripts\Languages\German.xml` actually exists.
The download includes a `Languages` folder, and that whole folder needs to be copied into your `scripts` folder next to the DLL. If you only replaced the `.dll`, the German language file won’t be there.
2. Make sure you’re editing the correct config file.
After the mod has been launched once, it uses:
`%appdata%\BetterChasesPlus\Enhanced\BetterChasesConfig.xml`
Don’t edit the copy inside your scripts folder, because that one won’t do anything.
Find:
`<Language>Auto</Language>`
and change it to:
`<Language>German</Language>`
Use `German`, not `Deutsch`.
If you don’t have a `<Language>` line at all, just add it near the `<DisplayHints>` setting.
Then reload your scripts or restart the game and it should switch to German.
If it still doesn’t work, check:
`%appdata%\BetterChasesPlus\Enhanced\BetterChasesPlus.Enhanced.log`
It should say either `Loaded language "German"` or `No language file for "German"`. Paste that line here and I can tell you what’s wrong.
