Grand Theft Auto V Can Only Launch in Windowed Mode After Installing Numerous Mods

A player who continuously installs mods for Grand Theft Auto V found that after installing the "Dynamic Traffic Colours" mod, their game could only launch in windowed mode. Attempting to switch to fullscreen before the game finished loading would result in a black screen.

This player is adding mods to Grand Theft Auto V every day, attempting to transform it into their envisioned PC version of GTA 6. Before encountering this launch issue, the latest mod they installed was one that changes vehicle colors in Los Santos.

The player stated that if they switched to fullscreen before the game had fully loaded, they could only exit the black screen using Ctrl+Alt+Del. After switching to windowed mode, they were able to check out the effects of the new mod.

"Dynamic Traffic Colours" aims to introduce a wider variety of colors to vehicles on the road. The author believes it may be working, but most vehicles they see still have standard color schemes; only occasionally does a car with particularly striking colors drive by. Some vehicles also exhibit glitches upon spawning.

The author stated that they are still unsure about the mod's actual effectiveness. They only managed to capture one car with noticeable colors, as the rest of their observation was interrupted by vehicle glitches or character teleportation.
