Hello ladies and gentlemen, GTA finally arrived yesterday, due to sod's law I had college all day and work all night so I only managed to play a couple of hours, but here's a few things I noticed:

1: I had a couple of call-outs more or less one after the other during my first patrol, but after that things got really quiet and I spent most of my time waiting for some driver to screw up so I could chase after him, are the call-outs random? I did play a good couple of hours.

2: I also noticed no 'random encounters', I never saw other Police Officers in pursuits or anything like that.

3: I think this one may be the root of the problem, at the bottom right of my screen there is a message that says 'Please get the newest version of LCPDFR, RC2R2'

Yet undernearth it when it shows what version of the mod I have it just says 'LCPD:FR RC2 R2' is that a UI glitch or do I have the wrong version? Im fairly sure I downloaded the most recent one.

4: Just a trivial one, how do I get into multiplayer games? I admit Iv not tried this yet, do I just start up a free roam multiplayer game and then press ALT and U to activate the mod?

Thanks guys, good to be here but just a couple of queries I wanted to get out of the way, chances are Iv not installed it properly.

Is the version you have one you actually downloaded from this site? Or did you get it some place else? If not, re-install the mod using the one here on the official website. In response to your questions:

1.) You can force calls with Alt & F11.

2.) That's happened to me before, you can try a re-install, or you might be able to modify a file somewhere to increase frequency. It's random chance though. Some games I get none, other games I get so many that two events may happen at once.

3.) Not sure what happened there. Make sure the version you have actually came off of this site, so that way you'll be sure you have the latest version of everything.

4.) You use your phone to do it, and you can activate the mod once you're in a game. Problem is that other people would have to have LCPD and understand what you're doing. If you do it in a public server, you'll just get griefed while you're on traffic stops. LCPD:FR is also not coded for multiplayer, and is very unstable, especially with modded cars of any sort. If you use modded cars, disable AI police entirely and play with friends. A roleplay group could provide that, but most of them have a bunch of rules to them. Not my cup of tea.
