So have been having trouble lately trying to get LCPDFR to actually start in game. Finally i just re installed GTA 4 and installed LCPDFR 1.0 with out any other mods installed and it worked fine. But when i tried adding ELS it begins crashing. I can get in the game and but when i get out side and start running or something happens like me getting hit by a car or something it crashes. So i removed the files for ELS 8 and it works fine again. So im not really sure whats going on since those are the only two mods i have installed for it. Im not sure if maybe im installing ELS 8 wrong and its conflicting with LCPDFR files in some way?? i dont know, im not the best with this kind of stuff.

You need to use original files on ELS v8 (dsound.dll etc.) If it still crashes delete AdvancedHookInit from GTA IV root folder.

I had the same problem since using ELS 8.0 after I copied the AdvancedHookInit.asi file to desktop (it was not in GTA IV folder than!) the game started without any crash.

Maybe something wrong here but I don't know.

I've been having the same problem. When I've deleted the advancedhookinit the advanced hook crash no longer happens, but usually within 10 minutes I will get a CTD without any error message, not even the windows "Program has stopped working message". I checked the advancedhook logs and the LCPDFR log, no errors at or near time of crash are logged. When I placed the advancedhookinit files back into the directory the mystery CTD no longer occurs.

 

I attached the advanced hook error that ELS8 seems to be causing when advancedhookinit is still in the GTAIV directory.

Yea , I had this problem with ELS v8 , and I spent 13 hrs to solve the problem , I accidently delete AdvancedHookInit and The game started working normal . so now my game works amaizing no errors , I have played full 4hrs without crashing ( I mean LCPDFR with ELS v8) .

Did you have the same problem after deleting advancedhookinit where you experience CTD's with no error messages or any errors logged in advancedhook or LCPDFR logs? Unfortunately now I'm stuck either having to have the advancedhook crash, or this mysterious unknown crash. Both occur within the first 10 minutes of gameplay.
