Open IV
Open IV
It seems OpenIV has been shut down, which is disappointing. Are there any copies of the installer available for OpenIV 2.9?
I'm really nervous about trying that tool again after everything with GTA threats and the money removal events in the gunrunning DLC. If you play like any other server, you'd notice everyone complaining about how Rockstar took away their huge sums of money. They definitely know how to spot mod users now, and honestly I'm scared to even use mods in singleplayer because of the risk of getting banned.
They didn’t make this choice because of a rockstar; instead, they just shared a recent update about collaborating with Take-Two to address concerns that could satisfy both the studio and the community. There’s no indication of trouble with single-player mods and no signs of a ban threat.
Rockstar has consistently incorporated OpenIV into their promotional content on their official site for many years. A potential lawsuit from Take Two would likely face very questionable legal grounds.
And indeed, appropriately so. Rockstar can leverage the wave of reviews and proceed to T2 like "see what you've done?"
