Recover a broken installation
Use a loader log to diagnose and repair a misplaced runtime.
Reproduce before changing things
This installation has a loader and trainer, but Story Mode cannot complete the plugin chain. Run the simulation and read the first useful error. The error’s path is a clue, not a request to install more unrelated tools.
Repair the cause, remove the mistake
The ScriptHookV.dll file is inside the scripts folder instead of the game folder. Move it beside GTA5.exe, leaving no copy in scripts. Moving DLLs into Windows system folders would not solve this application-local dependency.
Re-test the smallest useful case
Launch again and confirm that the loader can find both runtime and plugin. In a real setup, also compare edition and build support after updates. Document the repair before introducing another change.
