Callouts Frequency (Or Lack Thereof)

AngeloCosma · February 9, 2015

I find myself having to wait an extreme amount of time 5-10 plus minutes for a call to come. I lately have been using the console and hand typing "StartCallout" to give myself something to do. This occurs with the default callout system or Callouts+ which I would prefer to use. I thought this might be an issue with Callouts+ however I was informed that it has to do with LCPDFR configuration settings.

I read the manual and came across these settings listed below that may warrant checking.

Below are my settings and I made them pretty drastic just to rule out that I wasn't being impatient. With the default settings, and those below I really don't notice any changes. It is not too enjoyable when having to only launch calls via the console. Is there something I can do?

GTA IV 1.0.7.0

Ran LCPDR diagnostics and everything is green.

GTA.exe is ADMIN

Everything is unchecked read only.

MaximumSecondsBeforeNewCallout 60

MinimumSecondsBeforeNewCallout 30

Multiplier 500

Thanks guys for any and all help.

Make sure you press Alt-E if there is a phone near the bottom left of the radar, this will clear you from your last call.

Okay I have done that which I wasn't aware to do before, but I am still just sitting idle for 10-15 minutes and nothing. If I don't type "StartCallout" I wont get anything, I have checked to make sure I wasn't "busy" I am free for calls.

hello. if you are having issues getting calls on that script then you can use vpCallouts. it is the one i use and the calls are constant. so between the actual lcpdfr calls and the vp callouts i am busy the entire time i play.

when you install vpCallouts you go on duty by pressing Alt-Delete. that is a toggle for on duty, off duty, and for letting them know the call is Code-4 or complete.
