Hello everyone. Im leaving this here for anybody else who's been having trouble with managing GTA V with Vortex.
1. Manage GTA V (Obviously)
2. You will get some errors after you first manage GTA V. In order to fix these, it's pretty straight forward, except for OpenIV. First we'll start with ScriptHook V. Simply install ScriptHook V using the "Fix" button as the error suggests. ScriptHook V should install with no issues.
3. Now for OpenIV. OpenIV seems to not install properly, or be detected as fixed by Vortex/The error prompt. In order to install OpenIV, do not download it from within Vortex. Download OpenIV from its official website and install as usual. After OpenIV is installed, restart Vortex, and just like magic the OpenIV error is gone, and will work properly.
4. Next, you need to install OpenIV.asi. OpenIV.asi is a feature of OpenIV itself. You just need to open OpenIV like any other program. It'll ask you to choose your GTA V install directory. After you've selected your directory, OpenIV will open and it'll look pretty daunting if you're inexperienced. But lucky for you, none of that scary stuff matters. At the top of OpenIV, you'll see a toolbar, with a drop down menu with the name of "Tools". Under the drop down, select "ASI Manager". There, you will be able to install OpenIV.asi.
5. And now you're done! You should be able to manage, disable, enable, and install all of your GTA V mods with Vortex with no issues! Hope this helped all of the confused people seeking answers. :)
Can't for the life of me get this to work correctly. Script Hook V is nowhere to be found, though I did get OpenIV installed, but not bu the extension, because it crashed when Vortex launched the installer in Admin mode, which promptly failed..
You're sooo lucky! I can't get past the ads to even install OpenIV. I certainly can't install it from Vortex. To the great powers that be, PLEASE, allow us to edit the address bar in the internal browser.
Dont click the ad? Many of those stupid blockers help ppl that dont know right vs wrong when downloading things. OpeniV doesnt have anything in it that is harmful. But if you feel safer by not doing anything than thats up to you.
No you idiot, READ what he ACTUALLY said. The download link to the file doesn't even show up anymore. it's been hijacked by a Guurgle ad. (I say Guurgle, because that's the noise I imagine Google making when I fantasize about slitting its throat)
Ok, I might just be doing something wrong but I installed this into vortex and clicked manage but now I don't know what to do. In the description it said it would tell me what to do but nothing happened.
Ive got the same issue, since trying to set up a clear method for complex mods like map addons, mod type default but no openIV trigger. Did you manage to fix this?
My Vortex install lost its mind when the GTA extension update (for whatever reason) ended up as a 0 byte file. It complains about the file and keeps asking for a restart. Restarting doesn't do anything. Deleting the extension file out of AppData/Roaming/Vortex/downloads/site doesn't fix anything -- and it'll keep complaining about that file.
The fix for me was to remove the GTA extension from Vortex from the Extensions list, download the extension manually and drag the file in. That got things back to normal. My mods were not affected.
