Was playing just now and this happened.

No error code or crash, just kinda happened.

 

By the looks of it, a helicopter attempted to be spawned, but something failed (probably ran out of memory) and everyone spawned at you.

Not entirely sure, maybe Sam or LMS can provide more insight.

Yes, most likely cause is that the vehicles for the backup units couldn't be spawned in time (either due to GTA IV being GTA IV or unoptimized car mods) and instead everything just spawned at you.  It shouldn't be a regular occurrence anyway.

Yeah I looked back and saw it happened when i spawned a heli. But it didn't fail, it spawned. The cops were random.

 

Also earlier in the clip, theirs this.

For some reason my pic wont post but it had like 10 cops lined up in a row in the middle of the street

My game always crashes when I call in air support.

OMG! That was the funniest GTA IV glitch I have ever seen for a long time.

 

Cheers.

I've had it happen before, always seems to be connected to using flying shitmobiles and calling for air units.

hi sir i think you need disable short keys of your trainer maybe that...

that honestly would've scared the shit out of me if I had been playing LOL!

Sometimes the game does that to me, I try to call for backup or a roadblock and 2 or 3 cops come s***ing out the back of my car

I don't use a trainer. It was related to calling in air support like Sam and Jay were saying.

It did, I'll admit I jumped cause i had my headphones on.

LOL! I like how there's one guy like "Call Air Support!" We just did. :P
