Hi there

I changed something in some setting menu about a year ago or so that got me going on duty automatically without having to force duty or go to the station but I cant remember what it was, point is its not working anymore. Can someone help and tell me how I can go back to the way it was? It used to take me automatically to Mission Row PD on duty but not anymore.

Force duty didnt work a couple of times, had to go to the station to go on duty.

help please

It sometimes takes me to Rockford Hills station now

any idea whats going on?

The feature you changed previously that handled auto-loading duty is the lspdfr.ini configuration.

When this setting stops functioning correctly or begins randomly spawning you at different stations like Rockford Hills, it usually means your saved character data has become corrupted or mismatched following an LSPDFR or GTA V update.

Step 1: Fix the Automatic On-Duty Setting

To restore the automatic on-duty behavior:

1. Navigate to your main GTA V folder, then go to lspdfr -> open lspdfr.ini using Notepad.

2. To ensure the feature works correctly and the game automatically spawns you at a police station upon loading, the parameter PoliceStation.DisableAmbientSpawn must be set to false.

Step 2: Fix the Station Spawning & "Force Duty" Failures

If ForceDuty fails or drops you at random locations, your character's save state is sending bad data to the plugin. Clearing the cache forces LSPDFR to recreate a clean character file:

1. Go to Grand Theft Auto V/lspdfr/chars/.

2. Move all files inside this folder somewhere safe as a backup (e.g., your desktop), leaving the chars folder completely empty.

3. Launch the game through RagePluginHook.

4. Go to a police station, create a fresh character, and set your default department outfit.

5. Exit the game cleanly to save the new character.

Upon your next launch, the system will read the fresh character configuration alongside the lspdfr.ini setup, automatically routing you directly to Mission Row PD on duty without needing manual console commands.

You're a godsend, thank you very much!
