i did that and it did not work it gets downloaded as a rar file i change it to a asi file and it becomes a notpad

 

@nickknakk You need 7 zip. What you downloaded was a folder that was compressed and you need to decompress it. It is basically a different type of zip file. You can download the program with this link: https://www.7-zip.org/a/7z2107-x64.exe If you need help decompressing the file, I can decompress it for you.

Contracts.asiContracts.dat Put these files into the RDR2 root folder. (The folder where RDR2.exe is located.) It should work after that.

@nickknakkYou are not supposed to open the files. The game should automatically load the mod for you. If the mod does not load, then you will need to install rdr2 scripthook. You can download it here: http://www.dev-c.com/files/ScriptHookRDR2_1.0.1436.25.zip

 

Also if you were trying to extract the files, don't do that. The files were already extracted. Also if are not sure what you are doing, just tell me so I can assist you better.

@nickknakk If you are saying that scripthook is not working, I would recommend reinstalling Scripthook.

Are you able to give me a image of the game directory? I might be able to see the error that you made.

 

Also I updated the guide so I would recommend checking the guide again.

 

Take your time, I am not in a rush and you probably have more important things to take care of.

I need some help.

Version.dll causes the game to crash at the very beginning. It crashes with or without dinput8.dll, it doesn't matter. I downloaded LML already and it's working, however I can't use mods that require version.dll. I have "Pimp my horse" (latest version) mod installed and you may already know it requires version.dll, but the file also contains a few asi loaders or hooks(idk exactly what type of files they are) like easyhook.dll. The game launches with version.dll if I delete nativeinterop.dll (a file from pimp my horse), but I won't hear the beeping sound, so the mod won't load. Does version.dll require the files from pimp my horse to run? Because without those files the game won't even start. I use the latest version of lenny's asi loader (version.dll) as well.

I would really appreciate if someone could tell me what to do.

Here's my log:
[INFO] Scanning C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\RDR2\Red.Dead.Redemption.2.v1436.28\Red Dead Redemption 2\LennysSimpleTrainer

After this the game crashes.

Hi, the game wont start past the launcher when i install LML, and the modmanagercore.dll wont copy over and dissappears, think thats the issue? really need the helpader files into the root folder, 

[Pimousse 0]

Hi. Maybe the scripthook or asiloader doesn't work with most recent update ? Begin to have some issues with 1.28 but manage to resolve when i reinstall mods (only Fix Graphical issue and FOV)

Unfortunately my games crash , surely from installation of update 1.436.31 today (don't manage to find any patch note about this on the internet -_-). So my games crashes if i let dinput8.dll in my game root file. 

Have a solution like rollback from previous version (it is possible ? ) or wait for an asi loader update ?

 

Thanks for help and job for modding 🙂 .

If you're using Rockstar Launcher you cannot rollback nor stop the update it appears.

If you're using Steam, just google how to rollback RDR2 on Steam, you should be able to find it. Can't guarantee it works though

I believe im having the same problem, as soon as i put dinput8.dll into my game folder the game refuses to boot up past the rockstar loading screen that appears before the actual game loading screen

Thx but epic games store and i think that this doesnt work anymore unfortunately even on steam...

Thinks just to wait update for asiloader dinput8.dll is the only way

@Das Ben Yes, these mods need to be updated.
