works fine for me, no infinite loading screen

Can confirm, works just fine and does the job. Those who cant get it to work need to post more info, 'cos there is no immediately apparent reason that it would cause an infinite loading screen on its own.

Gave me a infinite loading screen

I too am receiving an infinite loading screen upon installation.

Removed the textures and the game worked fine, but now I'm stuck with zero car damage textures :/

After a bit of troubleshooting, I've concluded the issue is with the fxdecal_bangs texture, as the fxdecal_scrapes appears to work fine.

I don't understand enough to alter the properties etc so I'm playing without the fxdecal_bangs texture for the time being.

@alexmarkou if you need the bang files i backed up my game so i can send you them if you'd like if you still have none

@jeveline could I get it please, I can't clean up my game it's too messy

this breaks my game. I do as the description says but when i replace the files and start the game i get to an infinite loading screen and can't play anymore.

This mod made my game loop on the starting screen. Here's how to fix it (assuming you have a mods folder in OpenIV):

1. with OpenIV go into Edit Mode and find the following path (OUTSIDE of the mods folder):
update -> update.rpf -> x64 -> textures

2. Open fxdecal.ytd, find the textures needed, select them one by one, right click, choose "Export" and export them anywhere you can find them later (I sent them to the desktop).
There are the textures you'll need:
*fxdecal_bangs
*fxdecal_bangs_n
*fxdecal_scrapes
*fxdecal_scrapes_n

3. Now that you have all the original textures in your desktop, go back to the GTA V folder in OpenIV and find the same path you were just on, but this time INSIDE of the mods folder (mods -> update -> update.rpf -> x64 -> textures)

4. Open fxdecal.ytd (make sure you're still in Edit Mode), now simply drag and drop the original textures you exported into OpenIV and save.

This should fix it.

Pleace update your description. I REPLACE the old fxdecal_bangs/fxdecal_scrapes and i think thats crash the loading screen. next try i IMPORT it.

Same issue as many people here, once I put the files in I get an infinite loading screen and even if I try what the user before me did, still the same issue.

Y'all must've installed it wrong. Works perfectly for me as of 2/24/26

Can also say the same :P works fine

@itsyaboi0008 I added the four files into fxdecal.ytd in the mods folder, replacing the old ones and the game got stuck infinitely loading for me.

@Dock-6 I've tried installing the four files by dragging them into the file that holds the originals to replcace, or by importing the new files one by one, neither method seems to work for me with installing this mod. Both result in the infinite loading while trying to get into story mode. Replacing the modded files with the originals fixes the infinite load for me though. But I have no idea why either of this would be the case to begin with

@TheIronSnowMan same thing happened to me, maybe the file was too big for my fxdecal.ytd, so i tried changing it to 1024x and now it works....

@BayuuLS Thanks, I will give this a try. How did you change the file size?

@TheIronSnowMan I use gimp, resize to 1024x dxt5 generate mipmap

to the person that have the original files for this mod or the scratches and dents pls send me
