Hello.

 

I have updated to 1,0b LCPDFR lately from version 0.95. I havent encountered any problems or crashes in the old version but now with the new one I get them really often. I have uninstalled 0.95 before updating and i have also done a clean install of GTA IV: EFLC just to be sure. 

 

Anyway the crashes have been happening on a few occasions:

-When I (accidentaly) kicked a arrested suspect

-When I pressed E on a guy in a car

-When I was holding a suspect and tried to run down some stairs

-Number two again but with a motorcycle (Not sure if its relevant but i was using the shotgun from the trunk both times)

-And the most recent one was when I punched a guy after frisking him (again by a sheer coincidence)

 

Things to know:

-I am using a legit steam version

-I am running it as an administrator

-When starting up gta i press play(offline)

-I have the latest version 1.1.2.0

-In Episodes from liberty city I am playing in the Lost and Damned campaign

-Im not using any other mods (not even ELS)

-Im always playing the same policeman model (altough i doubt its relevant) the thin one with a light blue shirt, no hair and a beard, also i think he speaks spanish sometimes.

-System.InvalidCastException is not in my logs

 

My system specs:

-Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition

-Intel core i3 530 @ 2.93Ghz

-ATI Radeon HD 7770 1GB

-6GB RAM

-DirectX 11

 

I have posted my log files down below. Phew i think thats everything if i have forgotten something ill hopefuly add it later

Hi,

 

Thanks for being detailed with your report, it's nice to be given useful information :)

 

Ok so try playing LCPDFR in The Ballad of Gay Tony rather than in TLAD and see if that makes any difference (I doubt it but let's cover all grounds)

Umm you mean like playing in botg? Because i think they share the same root folder

Nevermind i have misread placing instead of playing. Ill try that as soon as ill get on my pc

Ok so ive tried the Ballad of Gay Tony and while nothing happened after kicking an arrested guy or punching a recently frisked guy or runing all over the place with a arrested suspect it did crash when i pressed E on a guy in vehicle so i guess the problem is still there.

Ok well that was an issue common with the 0.1 release and they patched it in 0.1a if I remember correctly.

 

When you installed LCPDFR 1.0b were you absolutely certain you removed all other versions of LCPDFR entirely, and only installed version 1.0b? 1.0b is an entirely separate versions and all the hotfixes and patches are included within the mod. So you only need 1.0b.

 

Also can you now reupload your LCPDFR.log file now that you have ran it on TBoGT please.

Im absolutely certain. Even if i didnt, after i uninstalled GTA IV i deleted the whole directory before reinstalling it. Here is the log file:

This is very strange, there is no LCPDFR error so I don't think it is LCPDFR causing the problem. Do you have any other mods installed at all?

No, none. As i said in my original post i didnt even install esl just because it felt redundant for me. But i dont know what else could be causing the problem since it crashes only after a lcpdfr action and it doesnt crash when im just playing normal gta.

It is very odd.

 

I know it's a total pain, but let's just see. Uninstall LCPDFR, and then unistall GTA IV again. Be sure to completely wipe the directory of all files after uninstall.

Reinstall GTA IV clean and make a clean backup. Then go ahead and install LCPDFR 1.0b, and try again. Let me know if it still crashes randomly for you.

Ok.

So ive reinstalled lcpdf and gta as you said and then i played normal vanilla gta a bit just to see if that would crash as well but it didnt. Then i tried lcpdfr again and it crashed when i held down E for more options when i was aiming at a pedestrian.

Ok, just to be sure, try switching your ASI loader, (dsound to xlive, or xlive to dsound depending). And see if that makes any difference on performance. It is strange that you are still getting this problem.

Will try. Just a question tough. I play multiplayer sometimes and the xliveless description says that it disables online capabilities of the game. Does this only apply to the lcpdfr mod or to GTA IV EFLC as a whole?

Ah ok, you need to use dsound.dll then. Yes, xlive.dll will disable all multiplayer capability, but is the more stable ASI loader.
