Script Hook V Refresh Restores Modding for Legacy and Enhanced GTA V

Script Hook V received a compatibility refresh dated February 21, 2026 that restores single-player modding compatibility on PC for both Legacy and Enhanced editions of GTA V, with some reports labeling the updated build 3717.0/1013.17. The refreshed distribution is packaged with the runtime ScriptHookV.dll, the latest Asi Loader identified as dinput8.dll, and a sample Native Trainer named NativeTrainer.asi, the readme states.

Script Hook V's role in the modding stack remains unchanged: "Script Hook V is the library that allows to use GTA V script native functions in custom \.asi plugins." The project readme reiterates the maintenance model: "The main concept is that compiled script plugins depend only on ScriptHookV.dll, so when the game updates the only thing that user must do in order to make scripts working again is to update script hook runtime (i.e. ScriptHookV.dll)." The readme also warns users that the runtime "doesn't work in GTA Online, script hook closes GTA V when player goes in multiplayer, see details in the readme."

Installation details in the distributed package are explicit and unchanged from the readme. Users are instructed to "Copy ScriptHookV.dll to the game's main folder, i.e. where GTA5.exe is located." The package notes: "In order to load asi plugins you need to have asi loader installed, you can download it separately or use the latest version that comes with this distrib (dinput8.dll). You must delete previous asi loader version (dsound.dll) if you have one installed." The distribution "also includes a sample asi plugin - native trainer, if you need a trainer then copy NativeTrainer.asi too."

The release sits in a sequence of game and mod-tool updates flagged across community and mod sites. LCPDFR recorded Rockstar's Title Update v3717.0 on 10 December, 2025 and logged a "Minor compatibility update for LSPDFR 0.4.9 (Build 9475) - GTA Build 3717" that "Added compatibility for the new GTA V update (v3717.0)" and "Updated the included RAGE Plugin Hook to support this." Community unrest appeared on Reddit with a thread titled "Scripthook V Critical Error as of Jan 27, 2026" where user "WebAlternative6576" wrote, "So Rockstar decided to silently update thir game without warning and now we have to wait for script hook to update? Was working fine last night." Dev-c logged a separate entry with "Released | 28 Jan 2026" and "Version | v3751.0 / 1013.29 | Supported patches | 1.0.3751.0 / 1.0.1013.29," creating multiple version/date strands around the Jan-Feb 2026 window.

Those differing version strings and dates are preserved in the record: Gamedecide and LCPDFR reference 3717.0/1013.17 and 1.0.3717.0 / 1.0.1013.17 as 2025 Title Updates, Dev-c shows v3751.0 / 1013.29 on 28 Jan 2026, and the original report cites the Script Hook V compatibility refresh dated February 21, 2026 and the project maintainer reference truncated as "commonly tra". The sources do not resolve which string maps to which published binary.

For .NET script developers, Gamedecide recommends ScriptHookVDotNet Enhanced, noting "If you use .NET scripts, ScriptHookVDotNet Enhanced is worth considering, it’s a community tool that bridges .NET scripting across both Legacy and Enhanced GTA V editions and offers new API features like pattern searching and improved global address handling." LCPDFR also flagged a GameControl enum change "after CreatorDelete = 256" and suggested the "new SDK can be found in the developer forums," while reiterating operational guidance to "Please disable BattlEye launcher to continue to play LSPDFR!"

Modders can resume single-player custom scripts by replacing ScriptHookV.dll and ensuring the packaged dinput8.dll replaces any older dsound.dll asi loader; the refreshed distro and the .NET bridge return core capability for Legacy and Enhanced installs while multiplayer remains blocked by design.
