You must run the provided files as administrator or it will not work as intended. I (MRxSNIPES2) am
not responsible for what may happen as a result of using this script. This script was designed for
Windows 7 and above (8 / 8.1 / 10).
Use in Grand Theft Auto Online: This tool does not modify the game at all so you can still play
online. This tool just stops unneeded services and programs and set the game’s priority to a higher
setting.
Tested with:
-How to use-
1. Run START_GTAV.bat
2. The batch file will end unnecessary processes and lunch GTA V.
3. Play the game!
4. Once you exit the game all processes that were previously ended will be restarted.
