Version 1.01 - Critical Bug Fix & Auto-Install
Apology
I've read all the comments and want to sincerely apologize! Version 1.00 worked on my machine, so I didn't realize there was a critical crash issue affecting most users. The problem was that the standard python311.dll has dependencies that conflict with GTA V.
What's Fixed
FIXED: Game crash on startup - Now uses Python Embedded instead of standard Python
FIXED: DLL dependency conflicts - All required DLLs are now properly isolated
FIXED: "KERNELBASE.dll exception" - The main crash issue is resolved
NEW: Automatic Python download - No manual file copying needed!
New Features
Auto-installer - First launch automatically downloads Python 3.11.9 Embedded
No manual setup - Just drop the .asi file and run!
Better logging - More detailed error messages in ScriptHookVPy.log
Smarter file detection - Checks for all required files before starting
Installation
Extract all files from the archive to your GTA V folder and you're done!
If you want auto-download instead (no Python files in archive):
Install ScriptHookV
Copy ScriptHookVPy.asi to your GTA V folder
Launch the game - Python will download automatically on first run
Create pythons/ folder and add your .py scripts
What Changed Technically
Uses Python Embedded version (isolated, no system dependencies)
Replaced deprecated Python 3.11 API calls with PyConfig
Added automatic download & extraction from python.org
Better DLL search path handling
Improved error handling and logging
Important
Delete old python311.dll if you had version 1.00!
Check ScriptHookVPy.log if something goes wrong
