Problems with using a downgraded/older Scripthook Version

[Acto 3]

So, some olders mods require either AB Scripthook which hasn't been updated since early 2023 or an older version of Scripthook V2. 

What are the potential problems when doing this? I want specifically the Contracts Remastered mod to work again and it broke with the newest Scripthook Update, but it used to work on an older version. Would downgrading to an older version break other mods that work with a newer Scripthook version?

 

The most up to date mods I use would probably be be Bandits Hideouts and the Smoking mod.

Oh you mean my mod 😉

Ya both work fine with ScripthookRDR2 V2.

 All i can suggest with Scripthooks is to make sure your using the latest Dinput8.dll which is the asi loader and then

if AB Scripthook gives you issues or the game isn't loading right or the mod is acting funny then use the v2 version.

     I switched to the V2 version, updated my dinput8.dll and switched to the Vulkin api late last year and i've had nothing but

great performance and a solid game.

 

Update your dinput8.dll
The dinput8.dll that comes with AB Scripthook is out of date, its from 2021, the latest update for dinput8.dll
is from July 2024 unless they update it again in the future.

    You can get it from this website:

If you want an added performance i highly recommend this mod Unknown Error FFFFFFFF Fix mod

hope that helps!
