If Menyoo’s F8 menu won’t open it kills the whole modding workflow. The F8 key not working is a super-common issue caused by missing or outdated Script Hook V conflicts with other mods or incorrect keyboard bindings. This guide walks you through a fast reliable fix — including installing Script Hook V — so you can get Menyoo working again in minutes.
What Causes the F8 Key Not to Work
Menyoo relies on Script Hook V and the game’s input handling to open the F8 menu. If Script Hook V is missing outdated or blocked by an installer Menyoo’s hotkey won’t register. Other culprits include keybinding conflicts overlay programs (Steam Discord MSI Afterburner) or corrupted Menyoo files. Fixing it is usually just a matter of reinstalling the right files and checking a couple of settings.
How To Fix
- Close GTA 5 and any mod-related programs before you start.
- Download the latest Script Hook V.
- Copy ScriptHookV.dll and dinput8.dll (if provided) into your GTA V main folder (where GTA5.exe is).
- Install Script Hook V .NET if Menyoo or other .NET scripts require it by placing its files in the game folder.
- Make sure Menyoo.asi and MenyooTrainer files are in the GTA V root directory and replace them with fresh copies if needed.
- Remove or temporarily disable any overlay apps (Steam Overlay Discord Overlay RivaTuner/MSI Afterburner) and try the F8 key again.
- Open Menyoo.ini in Notepad and check the line for OpenKey= — if present verify it’s set to 121 for F10 or 119 for F8 (F8 = 119 F10 = 121) or change to a different unused key.
- Run GTA V as Administrator and test the F8 key in Story Mode (not GTA Online).
- If it still fails rename your scripts folder (if present) to temporarily disable all scripts and test — re-enable one-by-one to find the conflict.
- Finally verify game files via launcher or reinstall Menyoo+ScriptHook if needed then relaunch and confirm F8 opens the Menyoo menu.
Conclusion
Most F8 issues are solved by installing the latest Script Hook V ensuring Menyoo files are in the correct place disabling overlays or fixing the Menyoo hotkey in the INI. Follow the steps above and you’ll have Menyoo responding to F8 again so you can spawn props save maps and use all trainer features.
