LCPDFR 1.0 crashes in various situations

ZombLee · January 4, 2014

Just gonna add my machine specs as well to see if I can help out the devs, as 1.0 runs well for me since I started using the workarounds. I do not play with the taser installed, as no matter how I installed it (automatic or manual) it would crash my game. This is with a fresh install of GTA IV. I do not have the EFLC expansion, just GTA IV. I now run Lt. Caine's Vapid Cruiser with ELS V7 in police 1 and 2 slots, as the default LCPDFR divide key lighting mode was crashing my game. I'm also using the Improved Police Officer's mod, and I think Sam's female officers mod with the female voice pack from the enhanced cop pack by someone's name I can't remember (sorry). Of course, because of my modded ped files, my game will crash upon entering the police station, but I just force duty and use a trainer to spawn the officer I would like, and a police vehicle. From there 1.0 seems to run quite nicely, until I get into a pursuit, or arrest a ped from a pursuit. I can arrest peds on foot and from regular pull overs without issue. My machine's specs are as follows. It is a mid-range "desktop replacement" gaming laptop.

Toshiba Qosmio X775

Windows 7 64 Bit Home Professional

Processor: Intel i7 2630QM @ 2.00 GHZ Quadcore with Turbo boost to 3.0 GHZ and Hyperthreading of an additional 4 cores. (Still only 4 physical cores)

6 gigabytes of DDR5 RAM

Nvidia Geforce GTX 560M graphics card with 1.5 gigabytes of VRAM

2 Seagate Harddisks file system type of NTFS at 500 Gigabytes storage space

Runs GTA IV quite nicely and without lag. I was very stable with LCPDFR 0.95 and I will say confidentally that I never had a crash using 0.95 unless I was on multiplayer. 0.95 was so stable on my setup. I used modded cars without ELS and I would end up shutting down LCPDFR due to playing for 1-2 hours and being tired before I would ever see a crash.

Hope my system information is helpful to the devs. Thanks guys, keep up the great work!

I think I'm going to put the theory of it being a low end machine issue to rest. I'm running a vanilla install of LCDPFR on a fresh install of EFLC. It crashes on various actions in 5-10 minutes every time.
My system specs.
Win 7 64bit
i7 3930K Oc'd to 4.2 Ghz

660ti 3gb X 2 SLI
16gb of Corsair Vengeance Ram
Intel 520 Series 240gb SSD

This system should chew up and spit out almost anything thrown at it.

Yea, it's not necessarily lower end specs causing issue at all, for the most part.

I have half the machine you do, literally, and I run just fine (no enb, OK FPS not great, but very playable) and I run crap load of ped mods, weapon and car mods (civi and police), but keep poly counts low on police-police4 and only ELS on noose and fbi. Run on med setting with distance/detail settings at 15 and car density at 20.

I got rid of Braveheart as that seemed to cause issues, and trimmed my game mods down. I still crash from time to time, but I can easily get a good 1-1.5 hours out of it 8 out of 10 times. When it does crash I reload the game and I play fine for over an hour.

Anyhow, seems Nvidia GPU users seem to be plagued by crashes...wonder if that has something to do with it. Seems most specs posts are Nvidia cards.

(Reinstalling it right now)

I have a I5-2320 3.00GHz

8gigs ram

and a GTX 660ti

So clearly my system should handle it

I run Windows 7 home premium 64 bit

Intel Core i-5 3.4 3.8ghz

8GB 1600spd ram

some crazy huge and fast HD

Geforce GTX570

I get very frequent crashes, usually happening when I go to arrest someone by pressing E, or sometimes when either I or another police car activate the siren and lights in ELS express mode. Often I can play for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour before it crashes. It seems to vary.

Also, taser won't work for me no matter what I do - I already tried the fix on the forums here.

I have never crashed in Singleplay, if i dont do something crazy, fast paced and lots of action. I would advise you to get rid of ELS, i dont use it and never crashes. And i heard there's crashing because of ELS most of the time. Im only crashing in multiplayer. Seems like theres no fix. Lowered my settings to low, helped 10+ minutes. but not free from crashes yet. If it crashes the ''first'' 2-3 times. Its kinda normal. to me anyways. Because next time you are in the same situation. It solved or some. Try to reinstall the whole game. Then installing the updates, after that. You could try installing the LCPDFR mod only.
