As the title says my game keeps crashing on the loading screen just before loading my save game (no its not my save games, I have tried all possible fixes related to save games.). If I delete the AdvancedHookInit.asi file the game works, but obviously the mod doesn't. after looking through all the log files I think I have found what the problem is in the LCPDFR log.

 

[ERROR - 3:55:26 PM] [] System.FieldAccessException: Attempt by method 'freval_187..ctor()' to access field 'GTA.base.HandleObject.pHandle' failed.

 

If anyone knows a fix for the problem I would be very grateful.

 

(AdvancedHook, AdvancedHookInit, and full LCPDFR logs below if needed.)

Have you tried to launch the game without the saves, then?

I would recommend you to install the taser manually, as one of the steps is to remove that file (>www.lcpdfr.com/topic/25936-how-to-manually-install-the-lcpdfr-taser-in-lcpdfr-10/?p=204104). 

Launching the game without the saves Is the first thing I did to try and fix my problem. I will try installing the taser manually and see if that has any effect.

Alright good, just checking! 

Do that, hopefully it will work and is a easy fix! 

Sadly it has not been fixed by installing the taser manually. The only difference is that now the loading screen takes much longer and then crashes. Going to have another attempt at deleting the save files just incase.

Just a quick question, when installing LCPDFR, did you use the manual installation package? 

I used the auto install. Guessing I should try removing everything and doing a manual install?

You don't actually have to remove anything, just use the manual installer and overwrite any files. Just make sure that you use only dsound or xlive .dll. 

 

Note: The Hotfix is included in the manual install. 

Alright, I will give it a try and hopefully It will work.

Yep, I'm crossing my fingers over here! 

It keeps telling me the plugins folder can not be found in the folder. I'm hoping this won't cause any problems.

I'm not really sure what that is (I do not currently have a computer with GTA IV installed, so I can't check my folder structure). 

Good news is I can finally play my game again, hopefully I won't have any more problems with the mod lol. Going to go play GTA IV for about 6 hours straight now.

I am very glad to hear that! :)
