OpenRPF is an alternative to OpenIV.asi, which is now obsolete with GTA V's Enhanced version. It works in the same way, allowing modified files to be loaded from a mods folder, thus avoiding the need to modify the game's original files.
Features:
• OPEN & encrypted compatibility: OpenRPF supports both the game's native archives and those created with OpenIV (OPEN). No need to re-encrypt your modified files.
• rpf.cache bypass on Gen9: OpenRPF bypasses the rpf.cache for modified files placed in the mods folder, allowing them to load without additional intervention.
• Integrated ASI Loader: Just like OpenIV provided dinput8.dll, OpenRPF includes dsound.dll to enable ASI plugin loading in GTA V Enhanced (as well as loading OpenRPF.asi).
• Performance optimization: OpenIV.asi could cause slowdowns due to inefficient file loading management. OpenRPF fixes this issue for a smoother gaming experience.
Installation:
1. Extract the archive contents into the GTA V Enhanced directory (where GTA5_Enhanced.exe is located).
2. Create a mods folder.
3. Place your modified RPF archives inside this folder, just like with OpenIV.asi.
4. Launch the game and enjoy your mods on the Enhanced version of GTA V.
Warnings:
• The mod does not change file versions: Gen8 (GTA V Legacy) files on Gen9 (GTA V Enhanced) will cause a crash if used. Ensure you use GTA V Enhanced compatible files or convert them using Dexyfex's tool in CodeWalker.
• Some resources are not yet perfectly converted by CodeWalker: which may cause crashes or visual anomalies. If you encounter issues, feel free to report them on the CodeWalker Discord.

To address common errors scenarios related to OpenRPF, here is a list :
- Use the dsound.dll provided in the OpenRPF zip or xinput_1_4.dll from ScriptHookV for Enhanced. If you have ScriptHookV for Enhanced installed, you can delete dsound.dll.
These are the only two ASI loaders supported by OpenRPF. Do not use any other ASI loaders (e.g., Ultimate, etc.) as they are not designed to work correctly on GTA V or GTA V Enhanced due to complex reasons.
- Ensure that the RPF mods you are using are compatible with GTA V Enhanced. (A very common error causes a crash during loading when the window opens. The vast majority of RPF mods currently available are not compatible at the moment.)
- Check the log files located in the folder : %AppData%/Los Santos Multiplayer
- If your mods do not appear to be applied, create an empty file in your game’s root directory named: rpf.cache.disable (Make sure to use the .disable extension.)
- Do not use OpenIV.asi with GTA V Enhanced, and ensure that you have correctly installed OpenRPF in the Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced folder.
- Try removing all your ASI files (except for OpenRPF) and your RPF mods from GTA V Enhanced to ensure the issue is indeed caused by OpenRPF.asi
Nice, this is what we were waiting for!
How does this work?
@LS-Multiplayer Team Am I supposed to have both OpenIV.asi and OpenRPF.asi together in the directory when modifying files in OpenIV? I loaded GTA V enhanced in OpenIV with only OpenRPF.asi installed and when I clicked on the "Edit" tab I was prompted to install OpenIV.asi, it seems as if without OpenIV.asi installed I can't edit any files.
@JAM102970 You can use OpenIV.asi while you edit your files in OpenIV if you wish, but remember to delete it before launching the game. More generally, I recommend using CodeWalker instead.
@LS-Multiplayer Team how do we use CodeWalker with Enhanced? I tried to set the directory to GTA V Enhanced but it says "cannot find GTA5.exe" and doesn't let me.
Video Installation Guide
Can't use old mods for GTA V Enhanced
@Transmet are you super super sure the textures are different from legacy and enhanced?? i extracted some from enhanced, looks identical to legacy... but i might be wrong. anyone else tried it?
@Transmet I checked that log in los santos multiplayer and it said Loading OpenRPF.asi[ERROR]1114
What's going on?
@Transmet @LS-Multiplayer Team After following all the steps mentioned, my mods still don’t load at all. That is, no changes are applied in the game. I used xinput1_4.dll, created the mods folder, and installed my mods using CodeWalker or OpenIV. I also created the empty rpf.cache.disable file. Additionally, my game version is 1.0.811.8 (RUNE).
@Suzerain001 create a copy of GTA5_Enhanced.exe then rename it to GTA5.exe
@updhamid What is RUNE? If it is a cracked version, we do not support it and will not do so in the future (you are not the first to have this problem with this crack, so the solution is to use an official version of the game)
@MRose try to install the VC Redistribuables 2022 (official Microsoft link : https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe )
@tonaz Yes, im super giga ultra sure. Formats encoding are differents (drawables too), please READ the description about this.
Old rpf mods must be updated by their creators for support GTA V Enhanced.
@Transmet Since many questions are being repeated, I created a guide from what we know now based on your description and comments and trying to keep it simple:
https://gta5modhelp.blogspot.com/2025/03/complete-guide-to-modding-gta-v-enhanced.html
@Transmet Nope,nothing change
Tried to convert the motorcycle "Fatboy" - the file version changes from 1.62 to 1.71, but the game does not load )))
For the efforts, the author gets 5*
Of all the mods, only Simple Trainer and Story Mode Only Tab work.
@Gu5555 not a video but step by step easy to follow instructions on how to install, troubleshoot, and FAQ
