System requirements

Kiddions Mod Menu is documented only for 64-bit desktop Windows with a legitimate Grand Theft Auto V PC copy. If a machine is missing a row below, the overlay will usually fail silently rather than show a useful error. Confirm this page before you extract the ZIP.

ItemKiddions Mod Menu requirement
Operating systemWindows 10 22H2 or Windows 11, 64-bit only. 32-bit Windows is not supported.
GameGrand Theft Auto V (PC), Story Mode. Enhanced Edition may need a matching Kiddions build — see the changelog.
Architecturex86-64. ARM Windows is out of scope.
Display modeBorderless window or windowed. Exclusive fullscreen often hides the Kiddions overlay.
GPU / APICurrent vendor drivers. Kiddions Mod Menu is documented on the DX11 overlay path; Vulkan/Enhanced paths can ignore older hooks.
RAMThe same 8 GB minimum GTA 5 already expects; 16 GB is the comfortable Story Mode target.
DiskAbout 20 MB for the extracted Kiddions folder. Do not install under Program Files.
PermissionsAdministrator elevation on first attach. UAC must be allowed once.
LaunchersRockstar Launcher, Steam, and Epic are all documented. Disable competing overlays if the menu flickers.
RuntimesCurrent Visual C++ Redistributable (x64). A missing runtime looks like a dead Kiddions shortcut.

What Kiddions Mod Menu will not run on

Consoles, cloud-streamed GTA, macOS, Linux (including Proton unless you are on an unsupported community path), and GTA Online sessions. This official developer site will not publish Online workarounds.

Why silent failure is the usual symptom

Kiddions Mod Menu rarely throws a friendly dialog when the machine is wrong. 32-bit Windows, ARM laptops, missing Visual C++ x64, and exclusive fullscreen all look like “the shortcut does nothing.” Confirm every row in the table before you re-download the ZIP. The guide is the order; this page is the gate.

Disk is tiny — about 20 MB extracted — but the folder must be writable without UAC on every file. Program Files is a trap. User-profile paths are the documented default. RAM follows GTA 5 itself: 8 GB minimum, 16 GB comfortable in Story with the city loaded.

Launchers and competing overlays

Rockstar Launcher, Steam, and Epic all boot official GTA5.exe. Disable Steam overlay, Discord overlay, and GPU OSD if the modest tree flickers. That is a display stack issue, not a corrupt kiddions_mod_menu_v1.0.1_x64.zip.

Enhanced Edition and Vulkan may need a matching Kiddions build. Until the changelog says otherwise, treat DX11 borderless as the supported GTA 5 dx11 overlay path.

What this overlay will not run on

Consoles, cloud-streamed GTA, macOS, Linux including most Proton setups, ARM Windows, and 32-bit PCs. Silent failure is the usual symptom: the shortcut does nothing. Confirm x64 Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11, Visual C++ x64, a writable user-profile folder, and an official GTA5.exe from Rockstar, Steam, or Epic.

RAM follows the game: 8 GB is the floor, 16 GB is comfortable in Story with the city loaded. Extracted disk is small, about 20 MB, but Program Files plus UAC is still a trap. Competing overlays should be off while you prove Kiddions draws.

GTA Online sessions are not a supported environment. That is policy, not a missing checkbox. See the Online warning.

Does Windows 10 21H2 work?

We document 22H2 and Windows 11. Older branches are untested here.

Is 32-bit Windows ever coming?

No. This line is x64 only.
