I have a problem with Pressing alt + p in lcpdfr 1.0. I tried the advice of downloading certain files from another similar post from "ineseri"

which made the game work fine yesterday. When I played today once again the alt + p didn't work again. When I press the buttons the screen sort of goes blurry/out of focus, when I press the buttons again it goes back to in focus and normal, not sure if that means anything

Hello, I'm famous apparently :P Pressing "p" toggles definition, which is what causing the blurry-ness to appear. 

What was the most recent change you made to the game? Could you provide a screenshot of your GTA IV directory? 

The last change I made to gta was els6, it worked after that, I will try to get a screen shot for you.

Hm alright. I'll standby for a screenshot :) 

attached are the screen shots

Is GTA IV being launched with administrator-priviligies?

yes it is. Would you like a screen shot of my add and remove programs for the Microsoft downloads?

That wouldn't help at the moment. Are you running the game as administrator by going to the GTA IV folder, right click on GTAIV.exe, Properties, Compatibility and selecting 'Run this program as administrator', and doing the same exact thing to the LaunchGTAIV.exe.

 

yes they both are running as administrator. I found a log that says report to lpdfr, i'll attach incase it helps

Could you try to install the mod using the manual installation package? 

I did do that and followed the pdf installation guide and then checked that it was all in the right place using the other pdf. Do I need to uninstall before I re run the manual install?

No need to uninstall, just replace the files again. It's a long shot but it may just work :) 

have just reinstalled. saw my Norton antivirus pickup advancedhookinitasi as a risk and quarantined it as I clicked to play the game. I have restored the file and reloaded the game and it worked. Will I need to still apply the hotfix or will it still be there from before.

If you are using the manual installation package there is no need to apply the hotfix at all. It is included. Just reinstall the mod by following the PDF guide again. 

 

EDIT: I'd also recommend you not to use Norton. AVG or Avast is my recommendation.

Have reinstalled. Saw that my Norton antivirus picked up advancedhookinitasi as a risk and quarantined it. I have restored the file and the lcpdfr mod now works again. Thanks for the help. hopefully it will still work after one day unlike last time :) thanks once again

I am very glad I could help! Happy gaming now! :)
