(UPDATED) A fix for Alexander Blade's Script Hook RDR2 not working!

[isapicobella]

4 May 2022 UPDATE:
For anyone still following this thread, Alexander Blade's Script Hook RDR2 just received an update! It can be found here: http://www.dev-c.com/rdr2/scripthookrdr2/

And for those who use it, Lenny's Mod Loader and the RDR2 Asi Loader have also received updates recently. Links below:

I'll do some further testing, but so far it appears all my mods are working again. I hope yours will too!

----------------------------------------------

27 April 2022 UPDATE:
For those stumbling upon this post and missing the date this was originally posted on, the fix below will not work for the current issues with Script Hook caused by today's game patch. I'll make sure to include the fix for it here whenever modders upload one for those who are interested!

----------------------------------------------

Below is the OLD fix mentioned above, this is from 2021. Ignore this.

Today's patch stopped AB's Script Hook from working correctly, either failing to do anything at all, or causing the game to crash etc. There's a quick and easy fix for this which appears to be working well.

Script Hook RDR2 (found here: http://www.dev-c.com/rdr2/scripthookrdr2/ ) normally requires 2 files to work:

ScriptHookRDR2.dll
dinput8.dll

You need to add ''ScriptHookRDR2.dll'' to the game's directory as normal, but ''dinput8.dll'' needs to be replaced with the ''version.dll'' file found in the ''rdr2_asi_loader_02.zip'' download here: https://www.rdr2mods.com/downloads/rdr2/tools/9-rdr-2-asi-loader/

That's all there is to it. This should solve most, if not all issues with mods previously caused by Script Hook specifically.


Full credit for this fix goes to the actual modder(s). I merely came across it on Discord, found out it worked and wanted to share it here for more players to see.

Didn't work for me. Version.dll seems to crash the game.

That's because this fix applied to Script Hook being broken by an update in 2021. This thread resurfaced a couple of days ago, making it seem recent, but it isn't. I edited the original post yesterday to point this out.

Hi all, I just updated the original post with links to the updated Script Hook by Alexander as well as two other mods that are now updated for anyone who is interested!

The most recent ''version.dll'' Asi Loader file crashes your game? Or are you referring to the ''dinput8.dll'' Asi Loader from Alexander's Script Hook? Either of these, given you're using the updated version(s), should not crash your game.

Your description isn't entirely clear to me but even so I'd suggest removing all mods, make sure the most recent version of AB's Script Hook is downloaded, add ''ScriptHookRDR2.dll'' and ''dinput8.dll'' to your game, boot it up and see if it crashes (it really shouldn't). If you use the other Asi Loader (version.dll) too you can add the most recent version of that to your directory as well. Version.dll is used for specific mods though, if your mods don't require it then leave it out.

Once you've verified the steps above still make your game boot you can proceed to add in your actual mods. Make sure the ''version.dll'' file, if you use it, isn't overwritten by an older version of it, which some mods still come with. If your game starts crashing again after you've added in your mods it's either a mod that's at fault and is no longer compatible and needs to be updated, or you've accidentally overwritten a file with an older version of it.

if i add dinput8.dll with ScriptHookRDR2.dll the game works fine. but when i add version.dll the game wont start. If i remove dinput8.dll and ScripthookRDR2.dll and then add version.dll the game wont start either. If i add dinput8.dll with ScriptHookRDR2.dll and LML, the game wont start. I have already removed all mods(((

Thank you for clarifying!
I have ScriptHookRDR2.dll, dinput8.dll, version.dll and LML installed as well and my game boots up fine.

Have you verified you are using version ''0.2.2'' of the version.dll Asi Loader?
And version ''beta 10'' of Lenny's Mod Loader?

The only reason I can come up with for your game to crash at startup so reliably due to version.dll and LML is that the versions aren't corresponding. This is the exact problem everybody deals with after Rockstar releases a game patch that screws up mod compatibility and you need to wait for the individual mods to be updated. I had the same problem a month and a half ago, when the last game patch was released.

Do you own Red Dead on the Rockstar Launcher or Epic Launcher?

Nope, not just you. The side doesn't work for me either at the moment, I read it's been like that for a while. I last updated Script Hook in February this year, no idea if that's the latest version or if a newer one was available at a later time before the site went down. Most of my mods work with the February one though.
