Can someone please help me find a way to play LCPDFR online with my friends without experiencing disappearing textures/lag spikes after about 5-10 minutes in game. We currently have only about 5 modded cars in-game, 5 scripts, we upgraded to ELS v7, and deleted all traffic mod scripts. We have tried reinstalling new cars in place of ones we thought were causing the problem, but weren't. We have installed modded cars one by one and are still both having textures disappear. Someone please help and/or give suggestions! Thanks! Also we both have good specs and I don't believe that is the problem, because both of our games run fine when we play a singleplayer match. Also we have a new uniform installed over m_y_strooper and we also have one modded pistol in-game? Could those be a problem? Please help!!!

Try launch the game as administrator.

I already am...

Do you guys have steam version of the game?

Have you tried using commandline parameters?

 

It is the modded cars.  Do not mod the police-police4 with high-poly ELS cars.  Keep them non-els and as low poly as possible.  There are some nice CVPIs out there that are under 1meg, although my police-police3 slots are Ekalb's vapid crusiers.  Only mod the noose, FBI and/or nStockade slots with high-poly ELS cars.  That will help alot.

 

Also, try adding a command line -availablevidmem 2 can help if your card uses over 2gigs of vram or if you it's greater than a 2gig card in general.

 

Another thing to keep in mind is if you are using Steam, use the LaunchGTAIV.exe or LaunchEFLC.exe instead of the Steam exe (GTAIV.exe I think).  It's more stable, better FPS and less prone to texture loss running the Launch exe.  

 

Good luck,

We do have the steam version and are playing on 1.0.7.0. We also have a commandline, yes.
