Hello,
 
with 1.0d we decided to change the release cycle for LCPDFR a little. Since V is approaching, there won't be any new "bigger" releases anytime soon, such as 1.1. Instead, I plan to frequently patch the existing 1.0d installer to address issues reported and add one or two very small things (one being a better description for the QAM menu once you bring it up for the first time) to improve your experience. This saves us from all the hassle that comes with shipping an entirely new release and allows us to roll out small patches faster. My goal is simply that I want 1.0d to be as stable as possible once V is out, because we won't have any time for GTA IV then. I hope you understand the change and can live without properly named releases, release threads and guides in exchange for quick response time. I will update this thread every time I roll out a new release and also drop a brief change log though. The first patch should go live soon.
 
Since V will be most likely 64-bit (exclusive?), we at LCPDFR also have to make changes to our existing reverse engineering toolchain to adapt to the new architecture. Software in this business, normally bought by large enterprises and three letter agencies, is expensive and can easily hit 3k USD per license. Now this is a lot of money for us, so in case you haven't preordered V yet, we'd appreciate if you do so using our Amazon ref-links provided below. Using the link for your next usual shopping there counts as well, just in case you wish to support us even more. It's doesn't cost you anything, but we'd really appreciate it.

Hoping the next announcement will be about San Andreas,

1.0d #2

 

Short description of what has been changed:

•     Improved QAM for partners a little by adding help boxes and a text telling you when your partner is too far away for an action (when aiming at someone)
•     Fixed bugs with partner arresting and holding at gunpoint
•     Fixed a few crashes thanks to your reports
•     Improved performance a little
•     The multiply key can now be used to (un)mute your siren
•     Fixed issues with NOOSE vehicles set as suspect transporter models in settings
•     Several small fixes

 

•     Diagnostics Tool now shows status of link (if present)
•     Error Reporter will show a help button now when no savegame has been found to address confusion
•     Attempt to detect previous crash during restore which will bring up an option to cancel restoring (Error Reporter)

 
 

Thanks for everything LMS, Let's hope you can do the same with V.

When i do preorder, I Will gladly use these links, Hope it can help out somehow. Thanks.

Will absolutely do this :)

 

I'll pre order a little closer to the release time but I'm really pleased to see there will be a switch to GTA V, the amount of potential is huge. If the community pulls together we can make really make 'LSPD:FR' the best it can be!

What exactly does pre-ordering through that referral link do for you guys here at LCPDFR.com?

^ this would be great info

It costs me zero cash to use it and I'd be more than willing to pre-order through that link, don't take what I said the wrong way; just curious what using it actually does.

You guys all do great work I hope you can get the money you need so we can all continue to spend thousands of hours playing your amazing mods

Yeah, I don't see how that helps you guys out.. I'd use it next time I buy something on Amazon (I'll be getting GTA V on Steam during a sale), though, if you explain what it does.

It gives us a small cut of the purchase, at no cost to you.

That's cool, I'll see if I can get GTA V via amazon if it's possible.

Are you sure it costs me nothing?

Would making a donation assist you purchasing new software, without purchasing GTA V through those links?

 

Cheers.

Sure it does! :)

 

@lcpdsergeant: Amazon "pays" us a small amount for encouraging people buying there, but this won't raise any price.

I've uploaded a small patch, please redownload 1.0d. Changes made:

Sometimes when i call for backup it crashes at certain areas. I managed to break the game several times :3
