Hello,

 

I just made an account to describe this error I've been getting while playing LCPD:FR v 1.0 that results in crashing to the desktop. It does not appear to be triggered by anything in game.

 

The full error reads:

Title line: "GTA IV FATAL ERROR: SMPA60"

Error: "GTA IV FATAL ERROR: Unrecoverable fault - Please restart the game -842150451 141220352"

 

I've tried looking at similar issues in which they point to the error caused most likely by in game car mods (I've also read through the threads regarding this), however I have not installed any modifications on this install of LCPD:FR.

 

I previously did an automatic install LCPD:FR 1.0  with several car mods using SparkIV, but when I started to get the error more frequently, I did a clean install of the game including deleting all related Rockstar/GTA IV folders on my pc. The only thing that stuck around was my save game, but assuming that could have something to do with the problem I created a new one, but still had the issue.

 

I've tried all of the simple solutions: 

Running the game as an administrator, making sure all the files are in their correct locations and that they all exist, updating LCPD:FR's dependencies (even the GTA IV .Net Scripthook), but haven't had any luck.

 

The only other thing about this that has me stumped is the fact that when I try to "uncheck" the option to make folders "read only", and hit "apply", if I open them again it is set back to "read only". I am unsure of how to fix this and how much of it is a factor since the files appear to be there and in tact. 

 

Also, the game was bough through Steam, and I am running it on Windows 7 x64 (6.1, build 7601)

 

Aside from that I am aware of difficulties that arise in GTA:IV unprovoked; I had to create a "commandline" entry in the "GTAIV" folder just to be able to change my graphics preferences because the game believed I was exceeding memory resources at 300mb/3000mb.

 

Any and all help is greatly appreciated, and I thank you for taking the time to read through this lengthy entry. I am just as curious as to how this can be fixed as you are, and I still intend to play the mod in the mean time.

This error isnt related to LCPDFR, It's related to saving your cars and modding them; and ELS/Custom modded cars and police cars.

 

 

SMPA60 can happen for two reasons; Saving a car at your safehouse, then modding that or another car (moral: Dont save cars if your modding) 

 

Or; ELS (Emergency Lighting System) can cause it, and it is indeed an unrecoverable fault. Theres nothing you can really do about it, if it happens too frequently try using custom cars with a low or medium polygon count, if its too high it can cause SMPA60.

 

Make sure you dont have any cars saved at your safehouse and make sure that you dont have too many modded cars, that are being used with ELS. Try to use 2-3 at max depending on your computer, either way the error can always occur. If its unnecessary dont use it, as in with calling backup, try not to spam it. the more ELS being used the more chance of a crash.

 

 

I was using 300/3000 MB resource usage (Exceeding)

 

Not sure if that was a typo, but if you meant 300/300MB than you should probably have more video memory and a better GPU for playing GTA4. 512MB is the minimum, so that could be the problem

 

However if you DID mean 3000 total, then your fine.

I appreciate your timely response, but the issue here has nothing to do with modded cars. I said in my OP that I had previously installed custom content into LCPD:FR but when I ran into problems I did a clean install. I played this time completely vanilla but still had the same issue (granted it took longer to crash)

 

The graphic glitch wasn't a typo; I was just pointing out the fact that the game thinks that I am over resource usage when I am clearly not, and if by some reason it could be causing issues with LCPD:FR v 1.0

When running the game as administrator, how did you go about that? 

I created a desktop shortcut for "LaunchGTAIV" in the "GTAIV folder" (SteamApps > Common > Grand Theft Auto IV > GTAIV), right click it, run as administrator

 

EDIT: Now that I think about it, is it possible that there could be leftover registry files from my previous install (that included car mods) which is causing problems on this clean install? I'm not really familiar with the registry or what files to look for in it.

I have the same issue. It happens sometimes during a pursuit. But only after I while of playing or when there's a lot going on on the screen.

My Gta4 is modded with a few scripts, cars, peds, an enb, els and lcpdfr. It seems it is not releated to lcpdr because I have no error entry in the log file but it happens to me since i play with lcpdfr 1.0 . I run it as admin, and have a quit good pc and play with an average of around 50- 60 fps. (I7, GTX770 2GB, 16 GB RAM)

You would have to set the permissions on the actual files, OP. Not the shortcuts. Sorry for the late reply. Must have missed this thread.
