RAGE Multiplayer for GTAV Enhanced - Now Globally Available

[ragempdev]

Hello everyone,

 

Today we’re glad to share an important update on RAGE Multiplayer for GTAV Enhanced. After several months in a testing branch aimed at server developers and enthusiasts, the Enhanced client has now been moved to the primary branch. This means GTAV Enhanced support is now available to everyone — no extra steps or branch switching required.

 

If you’re a player and want to try GTAV Enhanced, you can switch your installed copy in the launcher settings. If you have already downloaded server client assets, the Enhanced client will reuse them. Features that were originally missing in GTAV Enhanced, such as the Aspect Ratio setting, have now been reimplemented, along with several other game fixes and performance tweaks. While your server may not yet support GTAV Enhanced, its global availability makes support more likely in the near future.

 

For server operators, we’ve developed a Gen8 asset compatibility layer, which implements engine-level support for legacy game formats such as .yft, .ytd, .ydr, .ydd, and .ypt. This means most of your custom content should work out of the box.

 

If you use advanced modding options such as replacing gameconfig.xml, pausemenu.xml, or other game-version-dependent files, you’ll need to rebase your changes against their original Gen9 versions and place them into your server’s /client_packages/game_resources_g9/*. The /client_packages/game_resources/* folder is used as the base game asset repository for both versions. While legacy resource formats are supported, some game resource assets you might be replacing could still need tweaks to work correctly on Gen9.

 

Certain API features such as World Texture Swap, Entity Overlays, and forced headless browser vertical flipping are not currently supported and will be coming later. For headless browser vertical flip, you may want to tweak your code to use browser.headlessTextureHeightScale until full support is added.

 

While globally available, we expect you may run into issues with this release as we continue polishing it. If you encounter any problems, please report them on our Discord server so we can investigate and resolve them. In the meantime, we recommend keeping GTAV Legacy installed as well.

 

Thank you to everyone who helped test the Enhanced client during its preview phase. Your feedback and bug reports were a big part of reaching this release.
