• License: GPL v2.0 (open source; you can build it yourself from the repo)

Requirements & setup

• Windows PC
• Python 3.10+ if building from source ( pip install -r requirements.txt )
• 16:9 display only — tested at 1600×900, 1920×1080, and 2560×1440

• Run GTA in fullscreen , borderless fullscreen , or borderless windowed

• Tessera may request admin/UAC when run as the compiled .exe

How to use

Fingerprint helpers (Casino / Cayo)

1. Launch Tessera before starting the hack.
2. Position the selector/cursor at the exact starting point of the puzzle.
3. Do not move the selector during the puzzle.
4. Press F6 (Casino) or F7 (Cayo) for each fingerprint as it appears.
5. Test once on your setup before relying on it in a heist.

Nosave

1. Launch Tessera beforehand.
2. Toggle on with F8 shortly before you need save blocking (10–20 seconds is a safe buffer).
3. Do your glitch/replay as normal.
4. Once you are fully loaded back in with no loading indicators, toggle off with F8 .
5. While nosave actions are pending, avoid prompts or menus that could force a save.

Job Warp

1. Set matchmaking to Closed .
2. On the map, hover the destination you want.
3. Press F5 while the destination is highlighted and the start action is visible at the bottom of the screen.

Troubleshooting

• Fingerprint helper gives wrong inputs → confirm 16:9 resolution, 100% scaling, selector not moved, no overlays blocking the game.
• Nosave HUD not showing → check dependencies are installed and nothing is blocking on-screen overlays.
• Helpers inaccurate on ultrawide or non-16:9 → tool may not work correctly; use a 16:9 display or report your resolution in the Tessera repo issues.

Disclaimer:

This post is for informational purposes only.

Questions or issues with Tessera itself are best directed to the GitHub repo — report bugs there with your resolution, scaling, and Windows version.
