Installation Steps

  1. Download the correct package: Ensure the filename explicitly mentions compatibility with your version. Do not use the "latest" version if you are on 101868.
  2. Extract the archive: Use 7-Zip or WinRAR. Inside, you will typically find:
    • ScriptHookV.dll
    • NativeTrainer.asi
    • dinput8.dll (or a similar ASI loader)
    • A bin folder (sometimes)
  3. Copy files to the root folder: Move all extracted files into the same folder where GTA5.exe lives. Do not put them in a subfolder.
  4. Override files (if asked): You may be overwriting an old dinput8.dll. Click "Yes."
  5. Block GTA V updates (Optional but critical for 101868): To prevent Rockstar Launcher from forcing a game update (which will break your version 101868 setup), set your GTA5.exe and PlayGTAV.exe to "Read-only" in Properties. Alternatively, use a firewall to block the executables from accessing the internet.
