Important Not for the Mod Name
This mod will be changing its name from "EXE Integrity Bypass Against RGL" (the next name has not been decided actually, let me dig into the issue more first), which will also be applied to archives since v1.1. alloc8or told us more accurate info about why GTA5.exe fails to check the integrity against socialclub.dll in versions older than the game build 2824.
About
This ASI program bypasses/disables the issuer check that GTA5.exe does, which is done by communicating with socialclub.dll. As a result, you can avoid the game refusing to start with the error code 16 for using a version of the exe older than the game build 2824. With this plugin, you can disassemble GTA5.exe for b2699 or older while running working game environments for one of the versions, where compiler's RTTI info is present. You don't need to use this ASI for v1.0.2824.0 or newer ones, because the game don't check the issuer at all in those versions.
For your information, you cannot patch the exe file with a hex editor at all because almost all part of the game code is encrypted before the launch of the game. This ASI does not disable any social club features, so you can use them (e.g. using your characters for GTA Online in the Director Mode). You should use this mod with the latest RGL!
You can't access GTA Online with the ASI loader installed since v1.0.1032.1 (v1.3.9), so you don't need to worry about accessing it by accident.
Without modifying the game code, the game tests if the issuer of socialclub.dll is either "Entrust Code Signing Certification Authority - L1D, Entrust Code Signing CA - OVCS1", or "DigiCert SHA2 Assured ID Code Signing CA" at a earlier stage (will be called during the first Rockstar logo movie and only once, the issuer check won't be done in newer game builds). This plugin just prevents the game from listening to the query result. Looks like Rockstar Games started testing even in Steam and EGS versions starting from April 4th 2023 (in UTC) at the latest.
What made you create this and not alloc8or?
Firstly, alloc8or could make this kind of tool if this issue started to happen for everyone who tries to use a non-latest version until the first half of 2022, but he hasn't been active in GTA modding that much since the beginning of 2023. Another brilliant dev who is familiar with computer science so much got inactive, just like MulleDK19 (who is one of the developers who made RAGE Plugin Hook and has been inactive since May 2021). Neither of them provided source codes of their works or obfuscated their code though (for obfuscation I'm sure works of MulleDK19 or LMS are affected but maybe not the case for alloc8or's).
Secondly, discussing pirating stuff is not allowed in 5Mods and some moderator silently deleted one of my massage that innocently included how to bypass this check with pirated stuff in the 5Mods Discord.
For those reasons, I thought I should create this program to provide a clean way that will be allowed to discuss and this will make us easier to inspect old versions using a disassembler without the help of tainted/dirty stuff (and I will need this tool to add tons of advanced features in ScriptHookVDotNet too, where I am the project lead since May 2023). I tried to create this and managed to do like in 6 hours including the simple log system and a simple testing for compatibility.
Installation
Simply drop ExeIntegrityBypassAgainstRGL.asi into your Grand Theft Auto V folder.
You can see ExeIntegrityBypassAgainstRGL.log created or updated if the ASI runs and the exe has the permission to write to the root folder (won't update the log if the permission is insufficient as logging is not mandatory).
You will need appropriate update.rpf files (at least appropriate ysc script files) for the GTA5.exe you are planning to use (e.g. update.rpf for game build 2699 for the b2699 of GTA5.exe) because hashes for native functions are actually changed in most updates (but no native hash update between b2612 and b2699 at least).
Requirements
The ASI loader. Script Hook V is not needed.
Although this requires Visual C++ Redistributable 2019+ to run, You should have Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 installed already when you installed Rockstar Games Launcher.
Note
To avoid executing the unpatched code, this program will try to patch with another thread and the created thread will keep the main thread suspended until the patch completes (actually yoinked from GTAVLauncherBypass but I changed the code to suspend only one thread). So if the patch fails half done, the game may not get started infinitely.
If Rockstar patch this tool by not even launching a process of GTA5.exe if the exe is not the latest one, this tool can do nothing since the tool can't be loaded in that case (I doubt that will happen since the issuer check is less restricted in later game builds according to what alloc8or said in the above state).
After the patch job is finished, the ASI will detach itself from GTA5.exe and will not occupy the memory or have the lock for the ASI file any longer (Ninja style!), letting you remove the ASI file while the game is running in case you are wondering.
This tool supports all the versions that use Rockstar Games Launcher (tested in b2060, b2372, b2699, and b2802 of Steam version), but this does not support any versions that use the old Social Club system (so this tool doesn't do the job in b1868 or earlier). You can use this tool in v2824 or newer, but this tool does not offer anything meaningful than the complete vanilla game in that case since the issuer check doesn't exist at all in those versions.
Souce Code
Can be found on GitHub, which is licensed under BSD Zero Clause License, where you can do basically anything against the source code but not a public domain dedication (so some parties such as Google can use some piece of code) and without liability and warranty.
I don't want to keep this thing secret or protected with copyright. Some part of source code is redundant (in v1.0) since I made this tool in a bit of a hurry.

As much as I appreciate for your interests in the RDR2 variant or this tool, I am not doing some research for RDR2.exe for now. I don't have any dumps other than v1.0.1491.17. The ASCII "MO_SC_ERR_GENERIC" string is present in RDR2.exe too, but it looks like it's more obfuscated in RDR2.exe how the error message is determined than in GTA5.exe.
Anyway, thank you for your understanding.
danke, danke, danke. fantastisch. TY so much
This seems to no longer be working i hope im not the only one, The social club is forcing me to log in now and is hanging when i verify my account so the game never opens, Im so sick if this when i just wanna play offline with my mods, Rockstar should not make it so difficult to play a game that you own.
Danke! WORKS PERFECT! 100%
What kind of black magic is this? It works flawlessly!
Please bro make an rdr2 version I know you said no, but pleeeeeease xD
God bless you
MEMORY ALLOCATION ERROR HOW DO I FIX IT FOR FUCK SAKE I WAS TRYING FOR HOURS!!!????
@PeterGriffinthe4th packfile limit adjuster and heapadjuster download those
@azawale3 already tried. just crashes without an error.
@PeterGriffinthe4th my bad, have you tried getting a new gameconfig?
@azawale3 yeah. I already managed to downgrade though using a different method i found on reddit.
Somone help me, i put it inside the game folder, and the error message still showed up. Is there anything I am missing?
It is over, rockstar cracked the code. This no longer works... unfortunately.
@gameboyeg Nah? This still works for me with the exe of 1.0.2060.0 Steam even after 1.0.3323.0 has dropped. Of course BattlEye has to be disabled in the RGL settings so the ASI loader (dinput8.dll) can be loaded.
@kagikn Okay, I will try it again.
@kagikn I have two gta's, 2944 version and 2245 version. They used to work with this mod, after the 3274 update, it doest work anymore. The RGL windows pops up and says: "Game executable path not found. Please reinstall the game.' After closing this error, another one appears, stating 'Unable to launch Grand Theft Auto V. If you continue to have problems with the game, please verify the integrity of your game files". Do you have any idea why this is happening? I already reinstalled the game and played with the newer 3323 version but i want to play with my oldest gta folders cause there so are many mods to be reinstailled again
@banksy_doo Your issue doesn't really appear to be related with this tool, because this tool cannot be run before GTA5.exe launches. Unless you see the error message *after* you see the game window or GTA5.exe (with Task Manager or whatever similar programs), you'll have to deal with the launcher error first.
@kagikn it's just really strange that it worked before the update and now it seems that there is some file missing to the error occurs but i can't find the most likely file that is missing
I agree with the author, as of most recent update, this still works and I am still on patch 2372.
pls rdr 2
