This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to remove any mods from your Grand Theft Auto V® or FiveM® and fix any game-related issues. Regardless of whether your copy of GTA V® was purchased from Rockstar, Epic, or Steam, the following methods will be beneficial.

Why Verify / Repair GTA V

What Leads to Game Verification/Repair?

There are several reasons you may need to verify or repair your game files:

• You installed or modified game files.
• Your game version is outdated.
• An update was not applied correctly.
• Your game files have become corrupted.

When you validate your game files, invalid files will be re-downloaded from the platform where you purchased GTA V®. Bear in mind that if numerous files are corrupted or modified, the download might be large (1-10+ GB). This process will also remove any mods you’ve installed.
