Keep Calm - Reduce AI panic attacks when shots are fired 1.0.0

Wait a minute...are you all running Build 393 of GTA? I'm still on 372! That has to be it.

LSPDFR is having performance issues in 393...that's gotta be it. 

I used this for a couple of hours in one session without stutters with the plugin, shut down GTA V for a while and came back and had stuttering issues with this plugin loaded, all on the same version of GTA

I was using it on the latest build indeed, as I had prepared all of my files for 2.0 already. 

It must be.  I'm starting to regret buying the steam edition of GTA V because of the updates.

I'll see if there is anything that can be done from a code standpoint. But I have a feeling that most of these freezing issues stem from the changes Rockstar made in the 393 update.

I deliberately have not updated to 393 yet, just because of the issues I have been reading about. I do not have the Steam version, so I just turn off the wifi adapter before starting GTA. The game starts up in Offline Mode, no update. 

I imagine you could do something similar with the Steam version, but it sucks for those that wish to play online as well. Personally, I bought GTA V when I found it on sale, solely for the purpose of playing LSPDFR. So I have zero issues with not updating my install.

It sounds like the lag and framerate issues are appearing in vanilla installs of GTA V as well, with people who have no mods installed at all. So it appears that Rockstar's changes may have had an undesired effect on performance across the board.

If that's the case, I would expect another update coming relatively soon. Until then, I'm sticking to build 372. 

But again, I will definitely see if there is anything I can do...I have a couple of ideas that I can try. When I have another version for you guys to play around with, I will definitely upload it.

EDIT: All that being said, I did have a chance to play LSPDFR for a couple hours yesterday. I didn't have any freezing issues (which makes me think its definitely build 393 causing this), and the mod kept the Los Santos public nice and calm as I went about arresting bad guys. 

Thanks for the update - I use your traffic control mod atm, and I feel this would add to the management of a scene.

Every 4-5 seconds the game locks up for a split second, am I doing something wrong?

Its an ongoing issue, there has been a discussion about it in the previous pages of the comments.

I believe it has to do with the new update for GTA V, but I unfortunately have not had much time to debug it yet.

I'm working on it though. 

Okay, thank you for your work :)

Great idea, but the game freezes for me too. :( Gonna wait for next releases.

.

This mod is awesome! Really help to keep the scene clean and now the AI don't run over you when they see you with a gun! :)

Sadly, I got the freezing issue too because I updated to play LSPDFR 0.2.

Really hope you can fix this issue, wish you best luck on this!

And awesome mod with Traffic Control too! You are my savior!

Uploaded a new version...hopefully this fixes it.

I've been having issues with my copy of GTA V ever since it forced me to re-activate and update to v393.

But I think I have got it nailed down. I've decided to release it for public feedback...it is a beta after all, haha.

Let me know if there are any issues! 

I download and test it right now, will come back with feedback!

Thx a lot by the way! :) Really appreciate!

UPDATE & FEEDBACK :

The game crash when I try to load the plugin, here the error message I receive :

That's strange, I never saw that. Then again, my GTA hasn't been in the best condition, as I mentioned.

I will be looking at it again regardless, but if this happens with anyone else, I'll be pulling v0.0.3 down.

EDIT: Never mind, I've decided to just remove it anyway. It will go through further testing before being re-released.

It loads and does what it should, but I am having one problem.. every 3-5 seconds my game freezes for a quick moment. as soon as I unload the mod it goes back to normal.

I'll have to try testing it again, but I never saw that when I tried it. Can you tell me...

- Your computer specs?

- What other mods you have installed?

- What version of GTA are you running?

- What version of RAGE Plugin Hook do you have installed?

GTA 5 : v1.0.393.2 (Latest)

RAGE Plugin Hook : v0.16.607.3692 (Latest)

I started from a fresh install.

Install GTA 5, update to 393, put RageHook 16, put LSPDFR 0.2, and put one after one all the mods, testing after each one to be sure there was no conflict.

And like I said before, KeepCalm 0.0.2 was working as intended, only problem was the performance issue and the freezing.

I know the team from LSPDFR had a lot of problem with the way the new update (v393) of GTA 5 was handling with the AI, maybe it's something like that ? I don't know if KeepCalm alter the AI by anyway ?

If you need more info or anything, just ask! Hope this can help you!

Hey stealth, the mod's really effective at preventing peds from freaking out at the slightest danger. However, I'm still getting stutters every few seconds with the newest version. When disabling your mod, the stuttering goes away. I know you're still working out the kinks - just thought I'd let you know.

I too am having an issue where my game is freezing, although I didn't keep track to how often but I know it is under 10 seconds.

Yeah, my game keeps stuttering every 3-4 seconds. The previous release I had installed (before the update today), the freezing was a lot more violent and "hiccup-y?" for a lack of a better term. The most recent version of Keep Calm mitigated how violent the stutters were, but it's still unfortunately frequent and for me, at least, unplayable. The stutters kind of resemble that of your Computer being overloaded and therefore causing these micro-stutters because it's unable to keep up, essentially a very choppy "slow-motion" kind of state. 

On the less negative note, the plugin is very useful and for the 10-20 minutes I've had a go with it - it's definitely a much needed mod. Hopefully you can remedy this problem.

Folks, the freezing/stuttering is an ongoing issue.

I thought I had fixed it, so I had released a new build, version 0.0.3, earlier today. Turned out that version had another separate issue, so I removed it, and reverted this page back to version 0.0.2. So there was no "update" today.

I'm hoping to have a new update soon.

Interesting! Seems like the stuttering issue for at least me seems to be different each time I boot up the game, it also seems a lot less violent if you load the plugin via the console vs. loading the plugin automatically through the startup file within the main directory. Either that or the "update - non update" caused a placebo effect for me, as it seemed a lot more calm (no pun intended). 

This is causing lag every 5 seconds for about .5seconds in duration!

cpu - amd a10-6800k

gpu - evga 960gtx ftw 4gb

ram - 16gb

I also encounter freezing with this mod. when the mod is active it freezes every few seconds for atleast 0.5 seconds, disable the script and my game runs smooth =/ Hopefully it can somehow be fixed because this is an amazing script and i really don't want 10 cars going berserk and nearly hitting me everytime a shot is fired or i'm in a pursuit with armed suspects
