I had the same issue you did with the game crashing at startup. I did the manual taser install and, just the same as you, the game finally loaded, but no controls would work to activate LCPDFR.

 

I also found that I had some issue opening up and running other games and programs since trying to install this new mod. I'm not saying installing the mod was a direct result, but I am suspicious that installing some of the new Microsoft C++ redist, had something to do with it. It resulted in me having to do a system recovery and reverting back to before I installed the mod and attempted to run it.

 

All my programs are working now thankfully....And I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to stick with .95 until 1.0 can get some updates to it and be quite a bit more stable. I'm thankful for all the work you guys have put into a free mod and you're releasing it for everyone to use, but I don't understand how all these issues weren't found out with all the immense testing you guys did and how much time you had to try and sort them all out. I realise that everyone has a different system and that can be a pain in the ass trying to get all the possible crashes and such, but it seems that many people are all having the same problem with the game.

 

Were you guys aware of these problems and just figured you would release it anyway and try and work up a patch once you found out how common some of these were, or did 1.0 actually seem like a stable, working program when you released it? I'm really not trying to sound like I'm bashing, because I'm not...I'm just curious as to where you thought the stability of the program was.

 

Hello,

 

none of us developers, nor one of the tester (20+ people) ever had any problems with the game like that. That's why we also don't really know what's going on there. I, personally, can play for hours without having a single crash, so finding the issues is really hard since I can't reproduce them.

 

Do you, or anyone else, think that having multiple other C++ releases installed could be causing a conflict? Just looking at my add/remove programs, I've noticed I have quite a few other version's on my machine. I have a few 2005 and 2008 one's installed. Do each of those get used by different programs, or is it like a game patch, where the lastest one contains all of the older versions? I also have more than one .Net framework programs installed.
