Decided to get back into GTAV, although didn't really play it much when it first came out on PC as I had other games I was playing at the time. I think I have only completed the single player heist prologue and Strangers & Freaks. Played a little GTA online ages ago, think my RP level is fairly low.
I am interested in modding the single player game to improve the graphics as well, but realise that I can't play online if the game is modded. I don't want to play modded online either, I remember it being a load of griefers before. I have installed OpenIV along with the ASI loader, the ASI plugin and open camera, but when I try to go into GTA online starting the game from Steam, I get booted back to the single player due to the modded game???
Does everyone keep two installs to work around this? I thought part of the benefit of OpenVI was if you start the game from within OpenVI, you get the modded version whereas if you start the game from Steam you get your vanilla version without mods/OpenVI? It seems the game is detecting the ASI loader etc and that is enough to be considered a modded game?
