I legally purchased GTA IV & installed LCPDFR Successfully ... I got into the game, & i'm currently on mission #3 ... & ALT+P Doesn't seem to be working ... i was told to wait until around mission 5 & then try again.

 

 

Does anyone know why i'm not able to start lcpdfr?

Hello.

Try to install LCPDFR manually by following this guide ('?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>) or the LCPDFR User Manual. You will need to download the manual installation package from here http://www.lcpdfr.com/files/download/4607-lcpd-first-response/

That's the guide i used to install.

Well you didn't mention that. Could I see a screenshot of your GTA IV directory? 

Can you try playing further into the story? It shouldn't matter, but it never hurts to try. And are you sure you are pressing ALT, and not shift, or ctrl? 

Okay i'll try playing a little further & attempt on every mission.. 

 

and Yes i'm playing on a Mac os X ... through a Windows program , and "Option" on the mac keyboard also works as a "Alt" for windows.

Sure do that!

 

Oh that's why it's called bootcamp. Silly me. I do not personally use Mac, but hopefully someone else can shed some light on if they also had these issues :) 

I too am using Bootcamp and have the steam copy of the game. I have been playing with different suggestions for a few weeks and have not yet found anything that will work quite right for me. I have done automatic and manual installs, and usually was able to keep the game running but just couldn't start LCPDFR, but this afternoon I have not even been able to get the game to start and remain running. On a side note though, I have noticed this. When I take out the AdvancedHookInit.asi like one forum suggested, and try and load the game, I go through the loading screen where all the different colored Rockstar "R"s show, however when I keep the AdvancedHookInit.asi in my directory and load the game, all the "R"s are skipped, the song is cut short, and it loads directly to the start menu. Either way crashes the moment the game loads though.

 

It works now all I did was download the required .net & vcredist files & it updated some of my files on the computer , LCPDFR now works

I am very glad to hear that! Happy gaming :) 

just don't install ELS until after the mission involving a cop car and  a van with TV's in the back otherwise you won't be able to continue the missions (ELS in that mission = unable to pull over the vans therefor mission failed)

 

happy gaming
