Download args.txt and commandline.txt for GTA 5 to launch directly into Story Mode with mods and fix battle errors to avoid online checks with these simple files.
Modding Grand Theft Auto V can be a blast, until you run into annoying launch issues or Rockstar Launcher forces you into Online Mode. To avoid all that, you can use two simple text files: args.txt and commandline.txt.
These help the game skip unnecessary checks and load directly into Story Mode, making it smoother to play with Script Hook V and other mods in Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced and Legacy Edition.
What Do These Files Do?
- args.txt:
Contains launch parameters to force Rockstar Games Launcher to bypass online checks, reducing crashes and mod conflicts. - commandline.txt:
Tells GTA V to launch in specific conditions like skipping the intro, jumping to Story Mode, or using specific resolutions.
Benefits of Using These Files
- Instantly skip to Story Mode
- Avoid annoying launcher checks
- Enable smoother mod loading
- Reduce common startup errors
- Perfect for modded playthroughs (e.g., NaturalVision, LSPDFR, etc.)
Commandline
If you’re using mods in GTA 5, you’ve probably faced annoying startup issues or slow loading times. A simple solution is using a custom commandline.txt file to bypass intro videos, disable unnecessary checks, and launch directly into Story Mode.
-skipIntro
-nomemrestrict
-novblank
-ignoreDifferentVideoCard
-scOfflineOnlyExplanation of each line:
-skipIntro— Skips the intro logos/cutscenes for faster startup.-nomemrestrict— Bypasses memory restrictions (useful for mods).-novblank— Disables vertical sync (can improve FPS).-ignoreDifferentVideoCard— Helps avoid crashes when switching GPUs or configs.-scOfflineOnly— Forces the game to load Story Mode and disables Rockstar Online checks.
commandline + args Features:
- Skips intro logos
- Bypasses memory restrictions
- Launches in Story Mode only
- Helps avoid launcher issues
- Optimizes VRAM usage for mods
With these simple tweaks, you can spend more time playing and less time troubleshooting. If you’re running graphics overhauls or custom missions, args.txt and commandline.txt will save you time and frustration.
