LCPD:FR + Modded Vehicles


onlyTMJ

Recommended Posts

I have no issues modding cars with any version of LCPDFR, including 1.0 and 1.0b.  Many here don't.  Until recently, I had several low and high poly cop cars in all cop car slots, and a dozen civilian very high-poly modded cars (some as high as 14megs).  

 

I recently reverted back to the basics, which does make the game run much smoother, without the lagging and texture loss some may experience.  I now have only my noose, polpat, fbi and nstockade with high poly police cars, and low poly modded cars (vanilla modded cars) in my police-police 4.

 

Probably something in your setup.

I would try a command line so you utilize all the GPUs RAM.  Make a text document called commandline.txt, then paste the below lines.

 

Mine is as follows;

 

-availablevidmem 2
-noprecache
-novblank
-norestrictions
-nomemrestrict 
 
You can add and remove lines to fit your machine.  You can change the command line then run the game to test it.
 
The one above happens to work well with my setup as I only have a 512m card but it uses up to 4gigs of Vram...so the command line allows my setup to utilize the RAM needed, which makes a whole world of difference.  You can bump up the -availablevidmem number to whatever GPU gigs of RAM you have; 1, 2, 3, 4...although I think the game only really recognizes up to 2-gigs.
 
In any event, when modding the game, just make sure to test each mod after installing, by running the game for awhile.  When you know the mod you just installed works in-game, then add the next.  Will save a lot of headaches in the future.
 
EDIT: Forgot to mention that you place the commandline.txt in the games root folder (EFLC: C:Program Files (x86)SteamSteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto IV Episodes from Liberty CityEFLC).
 
Good luck

If you're looking for low-poly ELS models you might try >this thread, as they are the vanilla vehicles modded to ELS (and thus inherently low-poly)

Updating to LCPD:FR 1.0 actually helped my game not lag as much with my modded police & fbi slots (along with other *new* vehicle slots containing about 4 police & 16 civilian vehicles).

I do get the texture bug sometimes, but I think that's my MemFix file.

 

Well, as already said, try the commandline text given by DrDetroit.

Also try lowering your Graphics ingame.

If still nothing, try disabling Windows Aero & other visual features, & (downloading &) starting some Boosters, I find that helps me a TON, or

Removing some of the modded vehicles that you have, starting with the ones you don't usually use, ofc. (or both)

Good Luck :thumbsup:
