1.0c - No Better...

Recommended Posts

I fail to see why all these updates keep coming out and none of them address the stability issues.

 

It's all well and good adding new things in like coffee cups and more call outs but why not fix it so you can get more than 10 minutes game time first!?

 

This is the third update and although in every single one there is mentions of "stability fixes" etc there is no difference at all!

 

The game still seems to crash for anyone not running EFLC, it crashes on all firearms call outs, all prisoner transport requests and after any pursuit.

 

Why build something if it doesn't work!?

 

I am sure one of the admins will look at this and decide in there wisdom to ban me as they will no doubt not want to have any debate over it.

 

I appreciate that this is done in free time but I am sure people want it to work more than wanting to hear the slurping of coffee!

 

Sort it out guys!

Your issue is probably the other mods that you might be running. I can play GTA IV with LCPDFR for hours on end with no crashes. But as soon as I put a bad mod in, the game crashed. LCPDFR 1.0c is the lost stable version, to date. Though it does crash every now and then from random issues that arise, it is extremely stable, apart from multiplayer, and not very many mods are stable in multiplayer. Also, your computer may not be strong enough to play GTA IV. If your system can't handle GTA, it closes the game to prevent any damage to the system.

From your youtube channel, it seems you are using ENB and ELS enabled car mods, unless that has changed since your last video.

 

Few people have the exact same hardware/software, and fewer people have the same modded GTA 4. There are no guarantees when installing LCPDFR that it will work, and it is still recommended that for maximized stability, people play with as little mods as possible.

 

There were people able to play 1.0B for hours at a time, and that number has probably increased now with 1.0c. I can play for about 30-45 minutes, but that is with a high poly car mod in every police slot, added vehicles, high quality ped mods, ENB and about 10 additional scripts. I understand that my issue isn't LCPDFR, but the additional mods that take up resources from the computer.

 

While I can understand why you are upset that you do not have the same experience, it is unreasonable to assume that a script will work perfectly across the board when any number of compatability issues could arise, and then blame the creators for not testing something out on every single possible configuration.

Sticks and stones may break bones, but 5.56 fragments on impact.

I agree to some extent. Since installing 1.0c there is a hell of a lot more "an unhandled exception occurred, it is highly recommended that you restart the game" errors. These were a rare occurrence in 1.0b.

 

I found that the prisoner transport crashes if you change or add a vehicle in the ini file. I have mine set so that only "police" and "police2" act as transport and I have few issues in that area.

 

I can usually get upwards of 30min of gameplay from LCPDFR 1.0c. Try uninstalling some mods. I find that my game crashes after a few minutes if I have too many models installed.

I do love the coffee feature though. I did miss it....

what c13 said.

 

OP don't forget that every system is diffrent and everyone is using diffrent mods. For me 1.0c is way more stable. I was able to play for 1 hour with out a single crash.

People seem to forget that this is a mod after all. GTA IV orignaly dosen't even support mods. And crashes are part of the modeling experience in GTA. If you get alot of crashes you might want to uninstall some of your mods and see if it works better for you.

If that's the way you feel perhaps an uninstall will fix your issues and perhaps some anger management.

If you want someone to complain to, complain to Rockstar for not having a decent modding API. The way mods are built, by design, cause issues. Although we've mitigated most of them, some still crop up from time to time. Issues occur more with car modifications and other script modifications installed, because the game was never designed to cope with LCPDFR or any other modification.

I can see why you're angry, but have some respect. We do this for free. Sam and LMS mostly.

They've spent countless hours developing software which works for the majority of people on here.

Perhaps you'd be better creating your own police modification, and posting results in this thread.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Callouts are to be fixed on your own. Just go to the LCPDFR file in your GTAIV directory and select the LCPDFR.ini file, scroll down until you see callouts and change the min, and max times. Also, no admin is going to ban you for saying this, we're not Rockstar Games/hyped up 10 year old children who get upset over a comment on progress, and give some time, this takes a lot of work on the LCPDFR team. They are doing their best, what they're doing too is keeping us occupied so people like you complain less, with little new features that some of us actually appreciate, and if you don't like how they do it, maybe you should just go back to .95, as this takes a while. .95 took months to get working good, so please, have some patience.

Try using EFLC then.  Runs smoother, better frames, less crashing...and you get more police cars and a police bike.

 

Runs fine for me, and issues have been with other mods, like ELSv8 crashes my game.  Reverted back to ELSv7R2 and I'm good to go again.  Once ELSv8.1 comes out, I'll try that and see if it works.

 

Also, keep modded cars to police3, police4, noose,FBI and nstockade slots (will have to change handling lines and whatnot)...don't mess with police or police2, they spawn too often and can cause issue with modded high-poly cars. 

 

Anyhow,good luck!

I'm going to assume that you have never once taken a look at why your game crashes. Cause if you did you will have noticed AdvancedHook got an update, it produces better error codes for us. And the minidump file? Again, another way to make it easier for us to find out what goes wrong. LCPDFR itself now produces better, more detailed error logs too.

 

Those updates are not for you. They are not special features or cool fun things to do. They are bits of code dedicated to finding out problems and reporting them so they can be fixed better. They are performance fixes and patches to errors.

 

So the next time you take to a forum to whine about crashes. take a minute to look at what's really going on. And maybe then you will have some respect for the developers who are working hard to fix problems while still trying to bring you better gameplay.

Now that is cool, get em yall. Gta has never been stable for me and my computer lag, crashing, and what not but I wouldn't set out to attack the people that brought us this FREE mod that by the way the development has more than the entire right to charge for but they don't. There good people that gave a absolutely addicting and badass mod for free. Again the only reason I bought GTA IV by the way

Let the good times roll

I really disagree with you and im sure most of the people are, these hotfixes are really helping out my game has been very stable lately with these updates, and always remember these guys are doing all this amazing project and handing it out for free!

I can play for half hour+

Sounds like you have a personal problem to me.

EDIT: Try using a game booster.

Razer Game Booster really helps the performance in my game. I also host a dedicated San Andreas Multiplayer server and can play lcpdfr fine aswel as record my patrols. Everyone wants everything in lcpdfr but some computer cant handle it and you need to compromise.

It really should get more stable with every patch though.  We've added so many safety checks with each new patch and they should, theoretically speaking, go a long way in making the experience more stable with each new release.  

 

I highly recommend that you try LCPDFR 1.0c on a fresh copy of the game and see if you experience different results.  If it works better like that, try adding your other mods back in one-by-one.

Over the time that I have been on this site, I have seen many people complain. Yes this isn't something that we would like to see but it is necessary if things are to progress. What I personally find worse than complaining is people who respond in a negative manner towards the complaint which clearly can be seen here. When people start saying, for example, you need anger management, it really makes me think oh I better not complain in the chance that I will get personally offended. Whereas, in Sam's recent post, the massage is conveyed in a polite manner which also suggests a way to possibly better the playing experience hence allowing one to believe that it is okay to criticise and possibly make the experience better for others. 

 

On topic: I am one of the 'minority' group who finds playing 1.0 difficult in regards to the stability of it. I have had it installed on fresh copies an so on however it was not fruitful. I could only hope that further versions may be released in the hope that stability issues become a rarity.
