GTA IV Does not launch when LCPDFR is installed

Featured Replies

Much like the title says its true, If I attempt to Launch GTA IV from the GTAIVLauncher.exe as told too from watching videos, The game will act like its loading and then it wont launch, Now this only happens when LCPDFR is installed in the same GTA IV Directory Files, If I uninstall it, the game launches just fine from my windows 10.  I do however have the game downloaded via Steam, I am not sure how many of these issues we run into but I have tried both LCPDFR 1.0 and 1.1 auto installers with no luck.

Hi BestReplay, what patch is your GTA IV? LCPDFR is not compatible with the recent patch 1.0.8.0 therefore you need to downgrade your GTA IV to patch 1.0.7.0 to allow LCPDFR to be compatible with your GTA. There is a guide on how to downgrade the patch on the forms. I will link you to it.

Additionally, if you have already done the down grade then I will recommend to list all of your recent and current scripts, car packs and ped skins as they may be the cause of your crash.

So I have made a huge amount of progress now, I did the registry and got the game Updated, It does launch and I am able to make it to the Start screen. However after I clicked start the game does not load, It will go threw all of the Loading images, But if I try to click or Launch my task manager, my screen goes black and my Computer basically freezes. I have tried leaving it loading for about an Hour with no luck of actually getting into the game itself. Now I do have ELS 8, the vdH Tow service and PoliceHelper, I also have a Simple Trainer 6.5, Along with Traffic Flow scripts.  I am not sure what causes the game to take ages to load.

Okay bud, it's fantastic you have made progress. What are your computer specifications and do other games load fine? I would try to uninstall everything including LCDPFR then try to load up the game normally, to ensure good functionality because the game will be dysfunctional with mods.

Alright so I do have a setback however, I launched the game yesterday morning and realized my Screen was the 800x600... That doesnt fit my screen, 1120x720 I think is the resolution that fits my screen... Anyway, the game would tell me my resources were low and that I couldnt change anything in my graphics tab.  However, with it being 800x600, I could launch LCPDFR and start it up without a problem, my next issue was Building quality and Graphics were as if I had a 1999 Computer with a crappy processor, Some buildings didnt even load in.  So after uninstalling everything and starting fresh, I could launch the game and change the Quality and Graphics... I know I would Apply them to stay that way, Lets not forget my Resources now showed up green, with 202/512mb... Now when I downgrade, I am magically back to 800x600, My resources go straight down to 202/109mb......

Right well your computer is superior than mine so I am confident this isn't down to your computer. So just to recap at the beginning it wouldn't let you even downgrade the patch but now it has, then you try to load up the game but it doesn't load up correctly but you eventually got the game to load? If that is correct, least we have some progress! 

 

Your new complaint is that every time you turn on your EMS lights with ELS the game crashes, what version of ELS do you have and have you installed it correctly?

Progress Update: LCPDFR Loads fine, and ELS Only crashes if I activate my lights before selecting the car... Now I do have an issue when engaging a Pursuit, where ALT + E Spawns the Feltzer from the Trainer, I have gone into all INI Files and deleted it out of the trainer however it sometimes will still spawn.

For the trainer issue just deactivate it by pressing RALT + RCTRL + D to reactivate the trainer press RALT + RCTRL + E.  With the issue for your ELS have you configured it correctly? you must configure the ini file for ELS and change some settings. I will copy and paste the things you need to change.

 

This is how it should be in the ELS file:

FunctionKey = 17        // Ctrl by default ***
ComboKey = 18            // Alt by default

 

Ai_Els_Sp = off
Ai_Els_Mp = off

 

I hope this helps. 

 

I'll leave a video of a person demonstrating how to do it, simply view his description and skip to the ELS configuration part.
