I have a couple problems. Such as 1. there are times I see a violation and go to pull someone over, and when I hit shift, they will pull over but it won't initiate a traffic stop and they will just continue driving after I get out of the vehicle. This happens quite a bit, but not ALL the time.

2. (This is a big problem for me) When stopped at a light, MOST of the time the people behind me will drive next to me, or around me, or SOMETHING. It's like they know somethings there, except it doesn't register or, you know, I don't know. They just don't stop behind me.

Also is there a way to set my keys so that When in vehicle, left click is sirens, and G is shoot? Or something? I don't really like straining my fingers to use the siren lol

1) The problem is when the script starts to fail, the best thing you can do it press ` to open up the console and type reloadscripts, it might freeze your game for a few seconds, but then it will have everything working again.

2) That's GTA IV's AI Traffic, not really expecting the player to stop, when you do they think your just blocking the road.

3) Keyboard/Mouse options and set it up, if you can't do it there then GTA IV won't let you so you cant, sorry. Personally when I plat my thumb will activate G/F and pinkie on shift, index finger is D, Middle is W/S and last one is A.

For the second one, download the "Less Overtaking Mod". It'll force them to sit behind you for at least 30 seconds

Well that's news to me, is it quite stable?

Yes its very stable and works very well.

Awesome answer, thanks. And I try to use two hands when driving with the siren, but when I don't use the mouse, the camera won't follow the car very well. I'll try to config it differently.

Oh cool, I'll try it out!

I agree in that this mod is quite stable. However, I just want to let you know of a bug that it causes. If any police vehicle which is helping you during a chase stops behind you while you are stopped (say while you are barricading a vehicle), the police vehicle will stop to function and drive off as normal vehicle would once you start moving away or get out of your car. It kind of "resets" the vehicle so it won't be doing anything. And it won't get back into the pursuit either; instead, it will drive off into the distance.

Never had that issue.

Never had that issue.

Me neither.

Me neither.

Are you guys doing exactly what I'm doing to reproduce the issue? Your car has to be stopped completely, and a backup unit has to be exactly behind your vehicle (not to the sides) in order for this bug to occur. Any vehicle approaching from any direction (whether parallel or perpendicular to your vehicle) at high speeds will instantaneously stop beind your car the moment that it is exactly behind it. This is how the mod was designed to work. Police units are no exception, but the problem is that they stop pursuing the suspect after this occurs.

It is not possible that I have it and you guys don't since we're talking about the same mod, same mod files needed to run mods (the ones from the LCPD:FR installer), and the same version of the game (1.0.7.0). If you guys are sure that this does not happen to you, can you please post a screenshot or video in an attempt to reproduce the issue? I am curious as to why I'm the only one experincing this bug. I've had this happen on two separate computers, so I'm pretty sure it's an actual bug with the mod. I would be very happy if you can let me know how to stop my backup units from exiting the pursuit once they are stopped by the mod behind my vehicle (if it is, indeed, just me).

I'm on my phone so my response is limited. I've been in enough pursuits now that I can say I've never had or noticed this bug before. It could be in some of my videos, have a look at my latest one. There's a long pursuit in one of them

OK, I'll go check it out. I've been playing LCPD:FR for quite some time myself now, but ever since I've installed the "Less Overtake" mod, the issue always occurs, no matter which computer and which patch I install it on. I am using the correct scripthook.dll, scripthookdotnet.asi, etc. as provided by LCPD:FR 0.95 RC2, so I'm very confused as to why this is only occuring on my game.

UPDATE: Hey Harper, I think I've found what I'm talking about in one of your videos (I'll look at your other ones too when I'm free). Go to 12:40 of this video and start watching to 12:50, and you'll kind of see what I mean. It's not very clear since you moved the camera away, but you can see that since you were completely stopped, the backup unit stopped at 12:44 and did not continue to pursue the suspect with you. You can even hear the siren turn off.

Hm.. I've just noticed that, could be possible that they tried to get out and pull him out of the car.

I'll look into this more later today

Yeah, when this happened to me for the first time, I thought of that possibility too. But, when they don't get back into the pursuit after going back into their car, that's when I know that there's a bug. But in the case of the video, LCPD:FR didn't display "Sometimes the support units...," which means that the AI did not, in fact, get out of their car yet. I find that in my game, the suspect has to be almost immobile for 10-15 seconds until the AI starts getting out of the car, so that eliminates that possibility since, in your video, the suspect's car never stopped when the backup unit was near.

Good to hear that you'll check it out. If you can find a fix, let us know! :) Thanks!

I had it happen earlier today in a chase, but the AI kept chasing the suspect, they just didn't have lights or sirens on.

Hmm, that's very peculiar. I'm not sure why that never happens to me on two different computers. They always stop and move on. Never join the chase afterwards...am I missing something?
