Hi all,

 

Been away from LSPDFR for about 6 months (please forgive me!!) but decided I wanted to get back into it again, but of course nothing is ever that simple is it! I am having issues getting GTA to even start up once I have installed all the usual things such as the latest rage/scripthook ect. From what I can ascertain dinput8 seems to the culprit. If I delete that then I can get the game to load up but of course mods won't work then. If I add the dinput8 file back in then the game won't even load up. I get to the "waiting for game window" stage in rage and then just a flickering egg timer..

 

Any suggestions old friends?

You're not able to load via Rage, but are you able to start the game via the normal GTA V.exe?

Hi Kal,

 

Might of known you would still be here lol... I think I figured it out thanks, I suspect it is because I am trying to load the game with old mods from 6-7 months ago, so just doing a complete re install now to see if that fix's it.

Ok maybe not then, I had forgotten just how much of a bitch GTA can be as soon as you add mods to the mix! So.. Fresh install works fine, add latest rage/scripthook/lspdfr and setup open IV, run rage and crash's on first load screen where you hear window smash. Run game without rage and works no problem. Can't be mods as I have not added any yet. Can't be a graphics issue as vanilla game runs fine. Tried running rage as Admin but still crash.

 

It must be something basic which 6 months ago I am sure I would of picked up straight away but I have forgotten all the little quirks this game has.

 

Right, it is definitely an ASI loader issue, all is fine until I install ASI loader via open IV, once that is installed you can forget it game will not run via rage, fine via normal gtav.exe. At this stage I am at a loss, will of course ask my friend google but does anyone have any suggestions?

Have you remade your mods folder?  Or are you still using the same one?

At this moment in time I am using no mods at all, just trying to get the game to load, just uninstalled ASI loader via open IV and boom works straight away, add ASI loader via open IV and crash again. I don't recall ever having issues like this before, seems I am not the only one tho.

Since you have gone so long without playing, my assumption is one of your mods, plugins .asi plugins, etc are outdated and that's why.

I am not using my old mods folder I am literally using vanilla but I think I may have just fixed it, and if it is what I think it is then I should be banned from this place never to return again...rookie mistake I think!! Guess time will tell

Ok without speaking too soon I think its all working now, I will pray to the LSPDFR gods for forgiveness for my rookie mistake!!

What was the mistake? lol

 

and I didn't mean your mods folder, I mean plugins in your main GTA V directory such as trainers.

Didn't add update folder to newly created mods folder! And I am starting from scratch as far as plugins/mods goes as I think that will be safe so that I don't install outdated items.

So was the update folder the cause? lol

I am reluctant to say it was the cause because as soon as I say that the game will start crashing again, I am very slowly adding some of my old stuff such as add-on cars ect. I see I have come back at just the right time with a new LSPDFR just round the corner lol

Good luck!  Though, I wouldn't say it's around the corner.  While I have no information, I wouldn't bet on "soon", it could still be a ways away.

True, more like round 15 corners.

Did you manage to fix the issue you were having? Have you tried that thing which seems to be working for a lot of people, forcing windowed mode and direct 11?  You know, I had the same issue at first, got so frustrated that I came back days later after finding out a thing which could work. So I just double clicked on GTA V on my desktop, once in game I then alt+tab to double click on RageHook, alt+tab back into the game and that's how I can play LSPDFR now. It's a hassle but a hassle that works for me 

Thanks Seamoth, unfortunately for me it was just me being an idiot, fixed now tho, many thanks!
