Spoiler

Hi all, I have been playing a lot of LSPDFR recently and have a heavily modded game.
I just installed VisualV and Natural Vision Remastered and have noticed my flashlight does not work at all anymore.

 

After installing the above mods, i saw that my visualsettings.dat file had been replaced by one of them and the car lights looked dim so i overwrote it with my RadianceV mod that i like after trying to edit it myself and not being happy with the results.

 

The flashlight on my weapon is still there if i hit DPadRight while aiming no problem, but if i get out the flashlight itself, it is simply completely off and does nothing.
I know it was working fine before these mods were installed but do not really want to remove them just for this.

 

Has anyone else had this issue too? I also use BejoIjo's Stop The Ped and have the EnableAdvancedFlashlight=yes and Ambient.DisablePlayerFlashlightOverride = True.

Can anyone help me get my flashlight working again or give me a clue as to how to go about trouble shooting? I have trawled through the visualsettings.dat file but found nothing relating to the flashlight in there.

 

I have downloaded a flashlight mod that i will try tomorrow but i would rather use the STP advanced one.

 

Thank you for your time.

EDIT: reposted for clarity after figuring out how to copy and paste text without it going into a spoiler tag (it comes up at the bottom of the post to revert to rich text which i somehow missed! but it will not let me edit out the spoiler tag above so apologies for the repost).

 

Can anyone help me get my flashlight working?

I think there may be an overarching issue with the mod at this point, as I am having the same problem on my end. My flashlight worked up until at least the last STP update, which, if I'm not mistaken, came out just after the last GTA V title update, so either one could be to blame. Benjolio has a Discord channel. I am going to see if I can bring this to his attention there.

 

Update: Benjolio's support team seems to have already received reports about this issue, and they have stated that "Certain things can sometimes interfere with this feature and stop it from working. We haven't determined what the specific culprit is. We've heard reports that it randomly stops working and will randomly start again."

I had it working fine until the last two mods i added so i figured it is a conflict or something with them.

It is great that Bejoijo's support is aware of the issue and hopefully there is something Bejoijo can do about it.

I will keep trying it and keep my fingers crossed it sorts itself out, but i guess that is part of the fun of modding!

Thanks for the reply though and i hope it sorts itself out for you too.
