" please run gta v using playgtav.exe " after installed mods

[digitaldrugl0rd]

I keep getting this error after installed a mod like sweetfx , naturalvision vision , ... and I have to verify the whole game , pls anyone know how to fix ?

Playgtav isn't part of steam version of gtav. Running gta5/gtavlauncher.exe's as admin can give this error - instead, run steam as admin. Launch the game from within steam, or from a steam generated shortcut. Launching straight from the .exe can give this error too. Antivirus/security software can give this error (windows defender too -.-) - temp sleep/disable or add .exe's to exclusions. Overclocks can occasionally give this error. 3rd party overlays/apps like msi, rtss, etc - can give this error. Corrupt files can also give this error - typical with incorrectly installed mods.

Also, only install 1 mod at a time, and test thoroughly.

Directions to clean the folder if you need -

And I don't recall if natural vision was able to be installed into the "mods" folder, instead of the vanilla files - which makes things much easier to undo/revert.
