Hello,

 

I have seen LCPFR on youtube, and wanna have a go at it. I've brought Gta IV, and its downloaded, onto my computer, but I want to know how to install LPDFR. Could I have like links and a list of what to do?

 

Last time I tried to do it myself, the game crashed when opening it up.

 

Thanks,

This is the only thing you need for LCPDFR to work: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

hello cody :) glad you are here. as i am fairly new to the forum too, i will provide you with some basic and limited information to help get you going. please make sure that you make backups of your GTA IV file before you start any modding or changing of anything. ALWAYS.

 

1. make sure you download the current patch for GTA IV here https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200145406-Grand-Theft-Auto-IV-Patch-7-Title-Update-v-1-0-7-0-English-1-0-6-1-Russian-1-0-5-2-Japanese- 

 

 2. once you download the patch start up your GTA IV to make sure it works properly. If it doesnt stop right there and place a report here https://www.lcpdfr.com/forum/799-support-requests/

 

 3. download lcpdfr v.1.0d hotfix here '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>choose the auto install at first..if you have issues we can direct you later to a manual install

 

Now that you have installed both the game and the mod please note these following bits of advice. You MUST use the launch gta.exe file in the main GTA IV folder and not the icon created by the game installation on the desktop (i created a shortcut to my desktop for the gta.exe file). Again, you MUST launch the game as administrator. Lastly, you MUST have your read-only file unmarked (that means the square will be empty)

 

Before you launch the game, go into your main GTA IV file and you will need to remove one file really quick. You will have these two files: xlive.dll and dsound.dll   It is recommended that you only have one or the other. Some people can keep both and be just fine; however, i can not. if you would like to visit the thread about this please go here '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>before you decide.

 

Once that is done you should be ready to play :) launch your game using the gtaiv.exe file. once your game starts press Alt P to start the LCDPFR mod. If you are successful it will say Welcome to LCPDFR. Please report to the nearest police station to start duty.  Go to a station and get your uniform on and enjoy!!! I really hope i was able to help out. If this helps and you get your game started just fine PLEASE create a back up copy!!!! That way if you start adding other mods you will have a working copy stored in case of a crash.

 

GOOD LUCK!!

Hey Guys,

 

Thanks for all your help and support.

I have downloaded the Mod, and Press ALT P in-game, but nothing happens.

 

 

okay the first question is did you launch gta iv successfully without lcpdfr? that way we know if its a gta iv problem or something else.

Please do the following:

• Make sure you aren't using a crack - We don't support cracks
• Update GTA IV to 1.0.7.0 (the latest version of the game, or 1.1.2.0 for EFLC) - This sometimes fixes a wide variety of issues
• Make sure that you run the game as an administrator.
• Make sure that your GTA IV root folder (and every subdirectory) is not set to "read-only"
• Ensure that ScriptHook.dll, ScriptHookDotNet.asi and Dsound.dll OR Xlive.dll are in the GTA IV ROOT folder
• Ensure that there is a folder titled 'LCPDFR' in the ROOT GTA IV folder.
• Check that all the above files exist, if they do not, reinstall LCPDFR with the MANUAL installation.
• Ensure that you are using up to date versions of every LCPDFR dependency and LCPDFR itself.
• Install these: .Net Framework 4.5, Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2012
