📋 About This Mod

Online Content Unlocker is a native framework designed to modify the internal code of the RAGE engine, enabling Red Dead Online assets to be loaded into Story Mode. Previously, an internal restriction within the engine prevented these assets from being accessed in single-player mode

Please note that, unlike version.dll, this mod does not function as a script loader. To ensure proper installation and compatibility, make sure to use dinput8.dll when setting up this mod.
