Hi all, I am hoping somebody may be able to assist me as I have hit a wall trying to get this to work

I saw a video of LCPDFR online and really wanted to try the game.

I purchased GTA4 from Steam and downloaded LCPDFR. I could get GTA to load but Alt-P did nothing but blur the graphics. I could drive round and the game seemed quite stable even though I'm on a fairly average laptop. My only issue was when in Roman's house on the first mission I couldn't open any doors.

 At first I had what appears to be a common 'failed to resolve d3dx9_43.dll' error. Eventually after reading many forum posts I got this to go green though there is still a red bar at the bottom for 'log check failed'

That said, I now find Alt-P works and tells me to drive to the nearest Police station. When I get there though I exit the vehicle. I can walk into the station so I position under the arrow. It very briefly shows me inside the Police station and then says "You have abandoned Roman" and boots me back to the start of the game.

I can drive around for ages in Roman's taxi without the game crashing so I think it's stable. Sometimes when I go to the Police station it allows me to press E and I find myself in a 'disembodied' Police station with stuff at all angles and I can't move. I have to quit the game. It still runs through instructions telling me I can book on, select a partner and take rest but it doesn't actually let me.

I'm not a computer expert so the diagnostic log means little to me. I will post it below however.

I have tried pretty much everything I've been able to find on the forum so far.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Spoiler added, please put logs in spoilers next time - Staff

Hello there -- welcome to LCPDFR.com and thanks for trying out LCPDFR!

Please do the following: 

• Make sure you aren't using a crack - We don't support cracks or people using pirated software
• Update GTA IV to 1.0.7.0 (the latest version of the game, or 1.1.2.0 for EFLC) - These patches are needed.  
• 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 AdvancedHook.dll, 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: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653 , https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679 

In some cases, your issue is resolved after following the above steps. If it did help, please let everyone know in the topic that your issue is resolved. If you do have to post a topic, do the following;  

• Give a clear, detailed description of the problem.
• Explain any circumstances surrounding the problem.
• State what solutions you have tried.
• Post ALL relevant logs (LCPDFR.log, Scripthook.log, ScriptHookDotNet.log, AdvancedHook.log).
• Include as much information as possible.
• Post your system specifications.
• Post what other mods you are using. This includes car and script mods.
• Post a screenshot of your GTA IV or EFLC game directory. 

Please note that failure to follow these instructions may cause this thread to be closed.

Thanks for your reply. I had followed those steps to the best of my ability.

I found I solved the problem by not pressing Alt-P until after after visiting Roman's house in the first mission. The game now seems to run fine. I hope this helps anyone else who might come across the same problem.

I can run the game fine despite failing the log check. Thanks again.
