So, i spent a solid 600 hours on GTAIV, and most of it was for LCPDFR. I played it for years on end, and as i watched GTA V's release and beat it on my friends Xbox i patiently awaited its PC release. Sure enough when it came out i waited, and monitored this beloved forum for my favorite mod, coming to it's next title game. I officially bought GTA V and starting playing LSPDFR probably three or so months ago. I have over 300 hours play time already, although a lot was spent troubleshooting obviously. I am kind of a perfectionist and obsessive with the Callout Plugins and Modifications. I want to have it all. But we all know you can't have " it all " and still have game functionality and solid or even playable FPS. Note the method following has been tested by albotroubleshooter with no issues.

 

 

What i have done, is spent so many countless hours troubleshooting, reinstalling and trying again..-..but i have nearly mastered it. I refused to play the game with just a few plugins, they loop over and over and replay-ability and enjoyment is limited with the less plugins you have. I refused to give up, and now i have a functional LSPDFR modded GTA V, in which has over 160+ callouts and probably 60+ Plugins and Scripts and callout packs. THE CATCH?! - I DO NOT USE ANY VEHICLE OR WEAPON TEXTURE MODIFICATIONS. That is the main reason my FPS has not almost dipped into unplayable. I constantly see people having issues with playing with a lot of plugins, and merely want to share my experience. If you have a Good/Great gaming rig, there is no reason with the proper installation techniques and patience you can play LSPDFR with every plugin enabled, running at an even higher FPS than my feeble 20-30. I know people say albos mods slow things down, and there are too many compatibility issues to worry about when you surpass 10+ plugins...-..but trust me. It's plausible and doable. If my old crappy AMD rig can run with all these scripts and plugins and callout packs at it's decrepit barely functional blue screening old age, SO CAN YOURS!. 

 

Alas, i have found my own person solution. I have a OLD build, that is half my old parts and half from a friends old PC after he upgraded. Specifications below. I almost exclusively bought and made this thing for LSPDFR, since my old rig could not run it. Specs below, before we delve into the LSPDFR situation. In total this was a 280$ gaming PC, since i was given a lot of good salvage parts from a friend. Goes to show you don't need much to get going in GTA V's LSPDFR.

 

 

 

 

• Gigabye Full Tower Case
• Logitech HD Webcam C270
• Samsung TV ( NOT monitor - Runs 1330 x 900 Max ) 
• 16GB DDR3 memory ( old i know ) 
• 1TB Wester Digital Drive (NOT SSD)
• Processor - AMD FX 8350 ( 8CORE)
• VGA - AMD Radeon R9 200 series ( So old, under $100 now)

 

Weak, 4-6 year old out of date gaming rig , right?. Hell i do not even have a monitor with 1920x1080 output. Yet you are going to be baffled how i somehow get a playable 30+ FPS or higher with the insane amount of plugins and scripts i have. I personally believe the key to my weak system being able to handle even this intense of a load of plugins is primarily because i use NO weapon or Vehicle texture replacements. My only changes are through RAGE scripts and plugins alone. A few Open IV package installers aside from that. Also have NVM and still somehow manage to keep all these plugins going at once with minimal rare crashes. Below you will see the following in order.

- My Scripts Folder

- The Plugins Folder

- The LSPDFR Plugins folder within said previous plugin folder

My biggest problem with GTA 5 is texture loss, pushes me away lots of the time. but that stems mostly from car mods I assume. Even with a monster of a rig I still have a fair amount of performance problems that ruin the experience.

It must be. I swear, i look a hundreds of screenshots here and i always see popping textures or grey off textures in the backround of peoples pic's who have car models/textures installed. I really do swear by sticking to plugins and scripts, although it is an OD amount of them, it somehow still functions. And i am sold it's because i have not a single weapon/vehicle/world texture/models. I use Natural Vision Remastered however, THAT is my single biggest FPS killer. I could ditch the NVR, and go from my measly 25-30 back up to 50-75 most likely. I have not had a single texture issue in my game, the only issue i have is LSPDFR.dll plugin crashes once every 2-3 hours, and i simply RAGE menu up, reloadallplugins, forceduty and resume right where i left off. Takes a mere 2 minutes.

 

I hope this thread helps some people sort out their installation for the maximum potential for replay-ability and fun while playing LSPDFR. If you are having ANY issues, compare your folders to mine and get to work. If you want to request something feel free to ask. I spent way too much damn time perfecting my installation for my OCD obsessive ass to NOT share it with you guys.

The only times I've seen vehicle mods cause real issues is if

 

1) The person's rig is just terrible.

2) They have too many modded cars - and by this I mean they are trying to replace every vanilla vehicle with a modded/real life one.  The real life civ cars are poly hogs and will 100% cause texture loss.

3) 4k/8k textures.  For reasons unknown to me, a lot of texture artists are under the assumption most people can handle 4k. My computer costs a little over 1k and can play almost all games at 60fps, even modern releases.  I throw in 4k textures and texture loss galore.  It's also a combination of 4k textures + callouts running + vehicle mods themselves + so forth and so forth.  2k textures might not be as crisp and nice as 4k, but at least you can have ten of the same police vehicle in one area without texture loss.

 

I'd just like to add that most people, even with good rigs, still have lag and other issues.  It sucks, but that's part of GTA modding.

@GTALawEnforcer I'm agree that the mods (not plugin) might cause texture loss and instability.

The mods that I'm talking are all mods that you install using OpenIV.

 

These mods will also affect the plugins stability.

For example Computer+ plugin. It won't be stable if you have bunch of mods because plugins need memory space, whereas the mods will occupy the same free memoryspace from GTAV.

 

As long as you don't install any mods, and stick with GTAV default RPF files, everything will be more stable, just like you stated above.

 

But it'll come with a drawback. I'm afraid LSPDFR is not enjoyable and less immersive without mods.

Exactly.  LSPDFR just isn't as fun without the real life stuff added.  To be fair, the main reason for this is because Rockstar's vanilla everything is gross as shit.  The siren, the cars, the guns, etc.

 

Callout plugins are also a huge, huge lag factor.

Alas, we are all alike in one way. We crave perfection within our LSPDFR GTA V installations , hahaha.
