Hello, so like most of you I have recently installed LCPDFR 1.0 (I used the automatic installer). All went well and I was playing my game without issue. I experienced fairly regular crashes but I deemed this normal as my computer is nothing special and this is a pretty intense mod for GTA. Well, after two days of playing, I tried to boot my game today. All was normal until I had just finished loading my save game which resulted in an instant crash. I have retried several times with no avail. I have not changed anything since my game was running and I absolutely clueless as to why my game would suddenly cease working. Any and all help is appreciated.

 

Happy New Year,

EDIT - Something weird that has happened recently as well is that I can no longer connect to social club and I am always having to select play offline now.

Did you save while on duty? 

No I did not.

Did you recently make a change to your computer? 

Once again I have not. Nothing major anyway. Only been uninstalling unused programs to free up disc space.

And those programs weren't related to RGSC, GFWL or GTA IV in any way, right?

Are you launching the game as administrator?

Are you launching the game as administrator?

Alright so to answer your question, no I do not and never have because I am the administrator account on my pc. However I just did and my game booted up just fine and played flawlessly. For future should I be running all my games as admin even though I am the admin account? So I would like to thank you for your help ineseri.

Yes you should. Let me just copy this thing from my guide... Lazy lol

 

UAC (User Account Control). Only Windows Vista, 7, or higher.

Note: If you are using Windows XP, you can skip this part. If you feel that you don’t want to change these settings, feel free to skip it.

 

UAC is a part of Windows Security introduced with Windows Vista. It will not allow the user (you) to do any change to the computer without giving a warning message. It’s quite annoying and if you have some common sense, it will not be a danger to disable it. Disabling UAC:

1. Open the start menu.

2. Type “UAC” (without quotes)

3. Pull the “slider” all the way down and accept the changes. A reboot may be required in some rare cases.

I feel ya bro. haha

 

Anyway, I have had UAC disabled since purchasing the computer. And after some digging I found a thread where Sam instructs another user to set compatibility mode and always run as admin. In using that will I not have to right click and select run as admin each time?

Indeed, if you set the compability to always run as admin you don't have to right click!

Awesome, thank so much for your help!

No problem, glad I could help :)
