Ray-traced sun shadows and reflections are exclusive to RT-modes of the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X versions and were never brought to PC.[12][13]

Post-processing

The game has a chromatic aberration effect always present at the edges of the screen.[14]
Setting the in-game depth of field option to off does not fully disable the effect.[14]
Setting the in-game motion blur slider to the minimum amount does not fully disable the effect.[14]
Modify internal game files[14]
  1. Download OpenIV and install it.
  2. Launch OpenIV and select Windows under Grand Theft Auto V.
  3. Locate the Grand Theft Auto V installation folder and select it.
  4. With OpenIV open, select ASI Manager under the Tools submenu, then install ASI Loader and OpenIV.ASI.
  5. Enable Edit mode under the File submenu.
  6. Scroll down to the update.rpf file within the mods\update directory used by OpenIV and open it.
  7. Disabling chromatic aberration:
    1. Inside update.rpf, navigate to common\data\timecycle, then open the timecycle_mods_1.xml file.
    2. Inside timecycle_mods_1.xml, search for nextgen, then directly under it, change all values related to the lens_dist_coeff, lens_dist_cube_coeff, chrom_aberration_coeff, and chrom_aberration_coeff2 settings to 0.000.
    3. Save the file.
  8. Disabling depth of field:
    1. Inside update.rpf, navigate to common\data\timecycle, then open the w_clear.xml file.
    2. Inside w_clear.xml, search for all occurrences of the environmental_blur_in, environmental_blur_out, and environmental_blur_size settings and change all values related to them to 0.0000.
    3. Repeat the process for the w_clearing.xml, w_clouds.xml, w_extrasunny.xml, w_foggy.xml, w_halloween.xml, w_neutral.xml, w_overcast.xml, w_rain.xml, w_smog.xml, w_thunder.xml, and w_xmas.xml files.
    4. Save the file.
  9. Disabling motion blur:
    1. Inside update.rpf, navigate to common\data, then open the visualsettings.dat file.
    2. Inside visualsettings.dat, search for the defaultmotionblur.enabled and defaultmotionblur.strength settings and change their values to 0 and 0.0, respectively.
    3. Save the file.
Use Completely Disable Motion Blur
Use No Chromatic aberration & Lens distortion

Notes

This mod also removes the lens distortion and film grain effects.
Use No Far DOF / No Edge Blur / No Chromatic Aberration

Notes

This mod provides separate folders with files to exclusively remove the far DOF effect or the edge blur and chromatic aberration effects combined; only the files within the NO far blur folder have to be used.
This mod does not include a modified w_halloween file, however that should have no negative effect in practice as this file is only used in GTA Online.

High-fidelity upscaling

FSR 1.0 can be used through a mod to upscale the game to a higher resolution.
Mod in FidelityFx Super Resolution 1.0[15]
  1. Download the latest release of gta5_fsr.
  2. Copy d3d11.dll and gta5_fsr.ini to <path-to-game>.
  3. Go to ingame Graphics settings and make sure DirectX Version is set to DirectX 11.
  4. Go to ingame Advanced Graphics settings and set Frame scaling mode:
    1. 0.5x - Performance Mode
    2. 0.667x - Balanced Mode
    3. 0.75x - Quality Mode
    4. 0.883x - Ultra Quality Mode

Heavy game stuttering

Close Logitech Gaming Software before starting the game[citation needed]
Due to Logitech Gaming Software (not G-HUB) the lightsync usage in GTAV will cause heavy stutters for some people when wanted by police.
Just turning off lightsync in GTAV's keyboard/mouse options or inside Logitech Gaming Software does not fix the issue.
Set the refresh rate to 144Hz in in-game graphics settings[citation needed]
Set max frame rate to less than 188 FPS externally[16][17]

All options for external frame rate capping are explained in the frame rate capping guide. Easiest option would be to use the NVidia/AMD Control panels.

Change Windows sound quality[citation needed]
  1. Open Start menu, search for "mmsys.cpl" and open it.
  2. On the Playback tab, click on your sound card and click on Properties.
  3. Click on the Advanced tab and change the default format to the more standard 16bit, 48000 Hz.
  4. Apply and hit OK.
Difference is the most noticeable while changing from 24 bit/192 kHz and higher.
Turn off the Discord app overlay[citation needed]
Incoming messages can cause a slight stutter, and having the overlay on causes periodic stuttering.
Use Task Manager[18]
  1. Run the game.
  2. Open Task Manager.
  3. Under "Processes" tab, right click Grand Theft Auto V and click "Go to details".
  4. Right click GTA5.exe and set priority to High also check that the affinity is set to use <All Processors>. If still facing lag, uncheck and recheck <All Processors>.
  5. Do the same for GTAVLauncher.exe.

  2. Add any desired music tracks.

Notes

Only the WAV, MP3, WMA & M4A formats are supported.
Some users have reported slower-loading textures when using the Self-Radio station. Suggested to be an issue when the CPU is already bottlenecking the game and transcoding the custom music bringing additional load to the CPU. Suggested to use 48 kHz 16-bit signed WAV files (normal format and bitrate of the in-game radio) instead of MP3 files to avoid this issue.[22][23]

Issues unresolved

In-game stock market malfunctioning when playing offline

When buying stock the money is always deducted from your in-game account but the stock isn't reliably added to your portfolio, effectively causing your money to vanish.
Some tips/workarounds to avoid this issue
Unknown if the cause of this issue has been fixed by a title update.

Make sure to save your game before buying stock and check your portfolio after buying stock to ensure you actually received the stock you bought, reload the save if not.

Game stays in the background processes/fails to close itself while Logitech G Hub is running

Workaround: close Logitech G Hub before running the game[25]

Issues fixed

No sound when using a Bluetooth headphone/ear buds

Turn them off and on again[26]

Turn the headphone/ear buds off (ear buds usually need to be put in the charger to turn them off), wait for the game to switch to another audio device and turn the headphone/ear buds back on.

Disable any recording devices[27]
  1. Open Start menu, search for "mmsys.cpl" and open it.
  2. On the Recording tab, right-click on all the recording devices and disable them.

Game does not open with "Grand Theft Auto V has Stopped Working" generic Windows error

Unplug the Mayflash DolphinBar (if used) from the computer[citation needed]
Unplug USB-devices systematically[citation needed]
  1. Unplug all of your USB-devices.
  2. Plug back in one of your USB-devices.
  3. Try launching the game to see if the crash has been solved.
  4. If not solved: repeat step 2 and 3 till you find the device that causes the crash.
  5. If USB-device that causes the crash has been found:
    1. Update its drivers.
    2. If that doesn't help: leave it unplugged when launching the game.

Unable to play offline

Use the -scOfflineOnly command line argument[citation needed]
The activation resets around every week and requires to be renewed by running the game in online mode when the ""Unable to access Rockstar servers. Activation requires Internet connection." error appears. Doing this will make the game playable in offline mode again until the next activation reset.[28]

"Dependency MFREADWRITE.DLL is missing. Please reinstall the game" error

The issue is due having installed an N/KN versions of Windows. It has no built-in Media Features Pack, which is required by the game.
Download the Media Features Pack needed for the installed OS[29]
  1. Download the corresponding Media Feature Pack depending on your Windows version.
  2. Install the downloaded Media Feature Pack.
  3. Restart your PC to complete the installation of the Media Features Pack.

Update Download Issues (Retail Copies Only)

If you are experiencing trouble downloading updates with a retail copy of the game (e.g. repeatedly losing connection, restarting download from scratch etc.) you should use the -verify -noChunkedDownload parameters with the launcher:
Set GTA V Launcher Parameters[citation needed]
  1. Hit Start, Run, and type cmd.
  2. Hit enter.
  3. Type in cd <path-to-game> cmd window that pops up.
  4. Hit enter.
  5. Type GTAVLauncher.exe -verify -noChunkedDownload in this window
  6. Hit enter.

Story cannot progress with "The mission has been disrupted" message

When trying to start the mission "Monkey Business" a message appears when approaching the mission marker: "The mission has been disrupted, please return later". Returning later or with another character won't make a difference.
Unknown if the cause of this issue was ever fixed through a Title Update for the game.
Call a cab[30]
  1. Navigate away from the mission area until the blip has reappeared on your radar
  2. Call the Downtown Cab Company to order a taxi.
  3. When the taxi arrives, get in and select the mission as the desired location, making sure to choose to skip the trip.
  4. The taxi will deliver you to the mission location and you should be able to proceed from there.

Launch options

It is possible to alter the way the game runs by creating a file called commandline.txt and saving it to <path-to-game>, or by using parameters as command line arguments.
See Rockstar's list of available command line entries.

OpenIV

Used to install mods that are packaged in .oiv format.
Required for mods which expect the user to package their contents into a format usable by the game.
The game requires the dinput8.dll ASI Loader file and the OpenIV.asi OpenIV plugin to allow loading of ASI mods and modified RPF files as their signature is removed when editing them.[31] These modifications might be detected by the anti-cheat immediately, therefore it's recommended to remove them before launching GTA Online.[32][citation needed]
Modifying files outside the mods directory used by OpenIV will force the user to use OpenIV.asi to run the game all the time.

Modifications

Mods are safe to use in story mode, however, the games' anti-tamper solution will detect them and prohibit online-play until they are uninstalled (applies to all mods).[33]
Script Hook may be a prerequisite for some mods.

GTA V Redux

Features a completely rewritten weather system, simulated global illumination, better tonemapping, improved fog implementation, reduced lens artifacts, chromatic aberration, noise, and environmental blur, new motion blur, depth of field, bokeh effects, and volumetric lighting for times of day.

    Can confirm this. When the game's FPS is higher than certain value, there's a lot of random FPS drops. (Specs)

    I was able to verify this. Using the onboard audio chip or using an ASUS Xonar DS PCI 7.1 Audio Card on my motherboard, this issue was not present. But using a DigitalLife U2AUDIO7-1 7.1 External USB Sound Card (C-Media CM6206 USB audio chip), when the issue was present, I ended up finding this workaround.

    I don't know about the periodicity of the entitlement verification process, but I can confirm that the game is playable offline, at least when playing with the Steam version.
