I have uploaded GTA IV from amazon and also uploaded LCPDFR. I have uploaded the newest patch to GTA IV and followed all directions. However since i have done this i can no longer get the game to load...i launch the game, will take me to social lounge, and i sign in but then nothing. No error messages, nothing. I am running windows 7 PRO. I have had the game launch before but now cant even get into game to get to LCPDFR. I am not very computer savy and there alot of things i have no idea how to do like all the logs. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Can you please post your log files?  Log files are text files in your GTA IV folder with .log on the end of them.  Just search .log in your GTA folder, and post all .log files.

You can also do some troubleshooting by launching LCPDFR Diagnostics Tool.exe, in the LCPDFR folder of GTA IV, and clicking "Check Your Installation."

Also, try instaling these: .Net Framework 4.5Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2012

No one can help you much unless we have your .log files.  These files are actually located in the GTA IV directory.  Your "Directory," or location of all of your files related to your game, can be located in numerous places inside your computer's file system.  You can try looking in [ C:Program Files (x86)Rockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto IVGTAIV ] or search for Grand Theft Auto IV in your start menu, right clicking it, and left clicking "open file location". You can find the log files by going to the top left box, clicking on it, and typing ".log" (without the quotation marks).  If you don't see any logs, it probalbly means you are missing a required dependincy (another program GTA IV relies on).  Make sure you have installed Directx 9, Microsoft .NET, Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE, and Microsoft Gmes for Windows - LIVE Redistributable.  To install these, simply do a google search and click on a link that goes to Microsoft's website.  You can check if the programs are already installed by doing the following: Start > Control Panel > Uninstall or Change a Program.

hello :) glad you got your game running. you can download the controls for lcpdfr here '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

 

here is a link to a video teaching you how to install cars and new skins

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Z-fipRLeAA

 

i highly recommend watching. also there are alot of youtube videos about lcpdfr. they are a great way to get hands on advice step by step right away. i learned half of what i know just watching others. i also use the controller to play, but you will still have alot of keyboard action to do. but its tons funner :D

 

the tow truck and coroner are separate mods that you install after you install vH Police Helper mod. its also extremely useful for bait car, etc. but anyways, good luck with your car modding!

Are the vehicles ELS enabled? ELS (Emergency Lighting Systems) the vehicle pack you downloaded will say whether or not it is ELS enabled. By the sounds of it, they appear to be ELS.

 

Here is ELS version 8 '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

 

Follow the install guide, it is as simple as moving the files into your MAIN GTAIV directory and the addon vehicle you have has an ELS config file that needs to go INSIDE the main ELS folder.

 

Try that out and see if it helps.

 

Also depending on how accurate the model is, the flash patterns might be set to what the actual agency uses, in which case in ELS there is a file called "Slot Control" you want to make sure that you set Police, Police2, FBI, NOOSE, whatever vehicle you may have downloaded is titled and change the ELS from DEFAULT to whatever the car is titled.

 

If you need more help let us know, but first try installing ELS and see what happens.

 

Lastly if you AUTO installed LCPDFR then with ELS8 you may get a "LCPDFR cannot load" on startup due to some Scritphook.dll file being outdated, it is a simple fix so don't worry.

 

I know what was just said may seem a little daunting but trust me it is really easy and mostly drag and drop and you are done!

 

Good Luck!

i tried downlaod that pack but it only have els v8.0.rar file but not complete file to install it into LCPDFR 1.0d....is ELS automatically in this version of LCPDFR? cause i cant find complete file so i can install. This has me so confused.

Thats good, that .rar is what you want. Do you have win-rar? If not google winrar its free get it and run the autoinstaller. After its in, you can right click on you ELS.rar and select extract files. It will look like a normal manila folder after that. 

 

Open that folder and there will be files and readme.txt in there with instructions on what to do with everything. Try that out.

Darn I typed the whole response and the paged timed out....

 

 

Okay what you want to do is download the "MANUAL" installer for LCPDFR and look in the files and find AdvancedHook.dll. The one that ships with the Auto Installer is out of date and causes conflicts with the game launching LCPDFR.

 

All you need to do is find that file and copy / paste it into your MAIN GTAIV directory and overwrite the older version. After that everything should work. 

 

Here is the link to the manual installer, and hang in there you are almost there.

The main issue is AdvancedHook.dll. ELS comes with an old version that will not work with the latest version of LCPDFR.

i have installed ELS and now i am recieving errors for LCPDFR. I am including my LCPDFR log...what did i do wrong?

it probably has to do with the advanced hook in the els folder. The one that comes with lcdpfr is newer. My advice is re install lcdpfr then u SHOULD be set :P
