Hi VortrexFTW,

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this message, but the official forum doesn't open for me (I am from Russia) and due to connection instability, I cannot always access https://gtaconnected.com/.

I am trying to run a GTA:Connected server using the latest version of the Galactic core (v1.7.3) and your gtac_roleplay gamemode. However, the server completely blocks and fails to load the mod_mysql.dll plugin.

Environment:

• Server Version: Galactic v1.7.3 (Win64; x64)
• OS: Windows 10 Pro (Build 19045)
• Module Version: mod_mysql v1.5 (December 2020)

The Problem:

While the hashing.dll and built-in sqlite.dll modules load perfectly, mod_mysql.dll triggers a critical load error right at startup:
[WARN] Module mysql failed to load!
[ERROR] Error loading module modules/mysql.dll!

I have verified all external dependencies: libmysql.dll (tried both v8.0 and v8.4 x64 variants) and OpenSSL 1.1.1 binaries are correctly placed in the server root directory alongside server.exe.

Root Cause:

After analyzing the repository logs, it seems the C++ source code for mod_mysql relies on an outdated SDK toolset (VS2019_XP / SDK headers from 6-7 years ago). The latest Galactic server versions (1.7.2+) introduced breaking changes to the internal JavaScript VM memory structures (SetJSReturnValue modifications and prototype cleanup routines) to prevent memory leaks.

Because of this API mismatch, the Windows NTDLL Loader or the server core immediately rejects the plugin binary during ModuleRegister() execution.

Could you please consider updating the mod_mysql repository to the latest Galactic SDK so it can work with modern 1.7.x server versions?

Thank you for your amazing work on this multiplayer platform!
