Nightmare Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) This guide must be performed BEFORE the update to continue playing on GTAW until Rage releases an update. You can of course patiently wait for Rage's update and do nothing, which will just prevent you from playing for a day or two. Video Guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_qg6iqbxtY Text Guide 1. Head to your GTAV game Directory: Steam: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V Epic Games: C:\Program Files\Epic Games\GTAV Rockstar Launcher C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V 2. Take the following files: GTA5.exe GTAVLauncher.exe (PlayGTAV for Epic) update/update.rpf You will have to create the "update" folder in your "backup" folder, then just take update.rpf into that backup folder. 3. And COPY them into a "backup" folder somewhere else on your PC (Suggested: Desktop folder called "Backup") In update: 4. When GTAV updates Let it do so, and wait until it fully completes the update. Copy the files (GTA5.exe, GTAVLauncher.exe, and the folder "update" into your main GTAV directory and replace any currently existing files. 5. (Rockstar Games Launcher ONLY) To prevent the game from updating again : Hit Start - Type "firewall", Hit Enter Hit Advanced Settings on the Left hand side Select Outbound Rules New Rule > Program > Select your game > Hit Next Select Block This Connection > Next Leave all three network types checked > Next Give it a name > Finish Repeat the process for Inbound You'll need to delete this rule once the update can be deployed. How to revert all of your hard work: Simply verify game files through whichever platform you run. It'll take a few, but eventually it will replace all the old stuff with the new stuff. If you'd like, after the GTAV update, copy the new versions of the same list of files, so after RageMP updates, you'll just simply drag and drop and be updated. Backup files to download if you didn't back it up Steam : http://www.mediafire.com/file/jeapk6aijmiazmn/backup.rar/file Outdated Edited May 27, 2021 by Nightmare Night 22 1 1 Link to comment

Woltrazz Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) FYI For Social Club users, it will automatically verify your files upon launch so the back up will be undone when launching the game. A small hint is to make an exception on your firewall or turn your internet off briefly when launching into the server like follows > Start RAGE > Once serverlist is loaded in, Turn off internet > Select server and launch > Once game launches, turn internet back on again. Easiest way is to do it in the adapter settings in your PC Edited December 9, 2020 by Woltrazz 2 3 Link to comment

Soup Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Good to see this guide here, especially for players unsure about backing up for the update! Link to comment
TritonXVII Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 all that just so we dont get the map update? 1 Link to comment
Mozakias Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Why should the update not be implemented and why should we have to go through this huge time consuming process that require shutting off the wifi / internet or making firewall rules? Even if I were to simply disconnect my PC from the internet, that would mess up my CCTV and other apps that run on my PC rely on the internet to be running, All of this just for an unwanted update? and please, give us more information, why don't we want the new update?
