Map opens the world only after the game map is complete. The first time, Rageon prepares it from your GTA V folder, or offers to download a ready-made one.

Prepare the map on this computer

1

Set the GTA V folder

Open Settings (gear in the title bar) → App. Under GTA V folder, click Choose. Extra folders go under Directories → Add. Map starts preparing once the scan ends. Without a folder, Map shows Set the GTA V directory in the data sources to generate the map.
2

Open Map

Preparation normally starts by itself once the scan finishes. If it is idle, click Generate map.
3

Follow the stages

Generating the map lists the current stage, from Opening GTA V files to Building cells and Packing interiors. Cells and interiors show their own counts. During Building cells, an estimate (~… remaining) appears after the first few cells.
4

Wait for the world

When preparation ends, Loading library… appears and the world opens. There is no button to click.
Content from your extra folders is prepared in the same run, in the order the folders are configured. Preparation keeps running if you switch to another tab. The card is back when you return to Map.

​
Download a ready-made map

On some computers, generating the map can take hours. When a download is available, Map offers it with its size and DLC level:
  • Click Download ready-made map to skip local generation.
  • Click Generate on this computer to prepare it yourself instead.
  • If generation is already running and slow, Download instead of generating switches over.
Downloading the map shows the transferred size and the elapsed time, then Installing. The download holds the game world only. Your extra-folder mods are not included. If you want them on the map, choose Generate on this computer instead of downloading.

​
Stop and resume

Stop interrupts generation or a download. What was already done is kept.

​
Limits and plans

How many extra folders go into the map depends on your plan. A plan that includes only the base game leaves extra folders out. See plans.

​
Troubleshooting

Rageon has no GTA V folder to read. Set it under Settings → App → GTA V folder and let the scan finish.
A previous run did not finish. Click Continue.
Click Continue.
Click Continue download.
Your map was prepared before the current plan could be checked against it. Prepare the map again.
Your session is missing or no longer valid. Sign in again. The message Your session predates the plan limits. Sign in to your account again. has the same fix.
Preparation failed. Read the error shown with it and fix that cause before you retry.
Any other error appears in a red box under the card. Use the button the card shows to try again.
