Alexander Blade never fails to deliver the goods! I also had to make a small revision to my own R.E.A.L. VR mod as the Rockstar update had caused one of my hooks to fail.

Since the official game updates from Rockstar have been breaking VR play, a few of you have been asking how to keep playing flat while we wait for the replacement Script Hook libraries to drop.
You don't need to uninstall anything, much less to reinstall the game(s). With just a couple of simple steps you can easily pre...

A quick heads-up: Rockstar just released updates for both Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2. As is usually the case, the updates change everything around in the game executable, and that means that Script Hook (a base component for modding Rockstar games) needs to be revised by its author.
Alexander Blade, th...

Status as of March 15: Adding to the list below, I came up with an idea for a novel user interaction mode that will allow you to read all the information in the HUD comfortably, even when it's headlocked (like during scans, remote hacks, looting, etc.), and no matter how small the center focus ar...

Today I'd like to talk about a little-known feature of the mod.
My modding framework, as you can read about in the "Legal" tab of the overlay, is based on the wonderful ReShade injector by Crosire. In my early releases (before 2.1.3 that is) I had to disable its built-in effect system though, because it would operate on...

I'm so excited about this new mod, my head is spinning from all the positive feedback and anticipation I'm getting from you guys!
