Enabling/ Disabling NVE Mod in Legacy GTA5
* NVE mod ( improved graphics) is optional to install, it installs automatically when
tickmark is enabled during setup.
* You don't need to download fg-optional-bonus content and fg-optional-NVE if you
don't want to install nve mod pack and bonus content.
* FG bonus and FG nve will go missing anyway in verification process if you didnt
download it. Its perfectly fine. You can play without nve mod
Installation Steps
* Use Verify BIN files before installation.bat before setup and check if all files are ok
If any file is corrupt redownload it from torrent
* Disable antivirus during installation. antivirus may turn on automatically after
sometime or after shutdown, Keep checking!. There is no virus in this, all are false
positive due to cracked games ( Uninstall other antivirus softwares if you get errors )
* Uninstall third party Antivirus Softwares they cause issue even when disabled
* Run Setup.exe (missing setup files will be in antivirus quarantine, If it is
permanently deleted re download that setup file from torrent )
* If your PC has 8 GB of RAM or less, always use option of limiting the RAM
usage. (Use Tickmark during setup to limit RAM). You can try this option even if you
have more ram if you get failed installation continuously
* Make sure to have enough space (at least 130gb for legacy, 160 gb for nve
version) excluding setup size. Game Expands more during setup!!
* Install game to location which is in antivirus scan exclusion
* install only to short location paths, C:\Games, D:\Games only. not to program files,
users or other deep install location.

and maximum size to 8192)
* Do not use PC when installing!! Background apps shouldn't be using CPU and
RAM
* Install on ssd for fast install. (setup files can be on hdd if you lack on space) Less
then 8 gb ram or older cpu will take time! Do not panic if it looks stuck, wait for
atleast 30 mins for progress to continue.
* Verify file integrity after installation and wait to check if all files are ok
* run everything as admin with right click
* Install all VC++, DirectX etc during setup.

rgb softwares, chrome

* If you have 8gb ram, 4gb or less vram low end pc, use windows 10 since its uses
less idle ram and vram

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer
Check the gpu dedicated bytes tab for apps using your vram
* if vram gets filled over 95%, gpu usage/ gpu power usage will get get less. game
will stutter/give low fps/ crash
