Hello LCPDFR/LSPDFR, I have found a solutions on how to fix ELS when it stops working. First let's talk about the issues and then we'll talk about resolving it. My issue with ELS was it worked, like you can bring up the panel and activate the lights and all.. but when I tried turning on the lights they wont flash at all.. so I thought I didn't have something installed or something was missing, that.... wasn't the case... I tried everything but noting worked, but let me throw so examples of my problem. KEEP *NOTE* I HAVE TOUCHED MY GTA V IN TWO DAYS*

 

 

First one is two days before I the issue *NOTE KEEP IN MIND ON THE SECOND PICTURE, THE PANEL IS ON STAGE 3, SEE HOW THERE'S NOTING WORKING.*

Spoiler

 

 

 

 

 

RESOLVING THE ISSUE

Now there's multiple ways on how to fix this issue one of these ways will probably work or mostly likely won't.

 

 

 

Solution 1.(How I fixed it the issue)

What i did was, i took my file put it in my external hard drive, after that... i deleted the one off my main drive, then i took the one from my external drive that i moved too and moved it back to the main drive, after that. I went in game and BOOM!!! it worked.

 

Solution 2. ASI Manger

"In OpenIV, go to ASI Manager and uninstall ASI Loader and OpenIV.ASI and then click install again to reinstall them. Then restart the PC, then try loading into the game again and see if that works."

 

 

Solution 3. Resetting stuff

Go in game and reset your graphics and your settings to everything, if that doesn't work then do the samething and restart your PC.

 

 

Solution 4. Updating

Make sure your game is update to date with the current update (BUT) before updating the game make sure to back up your update so you can revert back to your old patch, if something goes wrong.

 

 

Solution 5. Restarting

Try restarting your PC, that should work.

np and thank you for sharing your solution.

Excuse me, I have a question. I also am having the same issue. But I tried the uninstalling the ASI loaders and it didn't work for me. 

So I saw this suggestion:

But I want to ask you, what exactly do you mean by "file." Which file? The ELS files? I'm going to try the graphics suggestion.

i mean't to say the whole directory.

Oh, okay. Thank you. 

I might not want to do that yet. That's too hefty of a task for me. I also don't have an external drive.

Typo.

Solution 5. Uninstalling

none of these solutions worked? then try uninstalling the game and reinstalling the game if that doesn't work then idk what to say.

 

I'd remove this solution.  While it may work for one or two people, ELS will eventually stop working again because of how unstable it is. Having them uninstall the entire game just for ELS (which will start working again at some point) is counter productive since they will have to go through a long GTA download (depending on their internet), and they will have to remod the game to their liking.  Depending on if they like their game fully modded (weapons, police cars, sirens, peds, etc), that will be at least a week of modding your game again all for ELS.

 

Not worth it at all.  They can still use non ELS cars just fine.

Well, my ELS problems have been fixed thanks to restarting my PC. 

Ok, Question what do I do when it will not let me load my game at all when ELS is in game. So it will get to the final loading and crash. I know its ELS because when its not in game it loads just fine. anyone got any ideas?
