What’s new in OpenIV 2.9.2:
First time since 2015, we have updated OpenIV.ASI – our plugin, which provides mods support for Grand Theft Auto V. The latest version of GTA V has some non-critical changes in the code, which affected by OpenIV.ASI, and we made similar changes in our code. Without those changes in OpenIV.ASI, your game had crash during loading screen in some very specific scenario, only when you have Simplified Chinese language selected in game. Use ASI Manager to update OpenIV.ASI in your game folder.
• We fixed an issue where sometimes OpenIV crashes while renaming folders inside archives.
• We fixed an issue where import of texture image with 2×2 sizes was impossible due to infinite loading.
• We fixed an issue where files was not shown in OpenIV after they was drag-and-dropped in game folder using Windows File Explorer.

Open folder: You now can open folders the same way as archives. Use menu “File > Open folder…” and select folder you want to open. Selected folder will appear at the end of the list in navigation tree.
Delete confirmation dialog: OpenIV will now show you delete configuration dialog, it will help you to avoid accidental removal of game files. You can disable this feature in OpenIV configuration.

You can edit those files using inbuilt OpenIV Text editor or export them to META/XML format.

• We fixed an issue resulting in unexpected behavior when double-clicking on group header in file list.
• You now can use “Shift + Delete” keyboard shortcut for permanently deleting files while using Recycle Bin (This works for files on disk not for files in archives).

@RipJaW openiv.asi was not changed in 3.2
the initial 26mb download while installing openIV is taking to damn long.
It's ok with the build 1101
How can you fix openiv not being able to find you gta when you download with steam @GooD-NTS
@Jacktplier what?
@GooD-NTS will you be adding red dead redemption 2 support like how you did max Payne 3 and such? We really need your knowledge over at https://www.mod-rdr.com we already have asi's trainers script hook etc working so you'd be a great asset to the red dead redemption 2 modding community.
Please give me the link of the previous version of open iv. The new one gives crashes
@Joyobrata when? What crashes?
@GooD-NTS after updating to latest version gta v crashes in loading
Hey please update it soon because it gives crashes in gta v while loading. I recently update this to 3.2 version. The previous version was better. After updating i can't play gta v . The addon vehicles are not working even i do all installation process correctly. Please help!
I installed addon vehicles mods by using open iv 3.1 but after update the gta v gives crashes in loading .
I can't download and i get error *500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.* Is it only for me?
open iv worked still 3.1 version. why?
very disappointed. Now gta v gives crash on loading page of the game. Help!
3.2 version is not working properly. It gives crash on loading page of gta v even i have all requirements installed. the previous version was good. I installed addon car mods by using open iv 3.1 but after update it give crashes. please help!
@joyobrataghosh 3.2 works fine for me, issue is on your end
when you click to download openIV gives an internet error but it's not my internet
Open IV looks fun/powerful/neat :) Too bad it never, EVER..works for me..current rendition, included. I get the Orange "Administrator Mode" notice and it never, EVER goes away. I could click on it till Los Santos freezes over. I just did a step by step add on ped tutorial on YT and ofc, fail. not surprised. I've been modding GTA on and off since GTA3..i have a fork ton of scriptmods on GTA V. Wth is the major malfunction? Beats me. If anyone can assist, id be forever grateful. Thanks.
i used to have a lot of car/air/tank mods with addon, I used to be able to spawn them in through scripthook v, for a little while now ill add the mods in through open iv but whenever I try to spawn them it never works, is this a open iv issue or a scripthook v issue?
