First of all I am not discounting the amazing work that has gone into 0.4, I am truly thankful for LSPDFR and for this community with the exception of a few things. I would honestly love to use 0.4 but I'm not willing to torture myself again, and I doubt my keyboard will survive another installation attempt. This is not a rant about 0.4 being "bad" (except for whoever's idea it was to not make it compatible with old game versions because that is REALLY stupid), it is instead a rant about the difficulty I personally had installing it.

 

Here we go

0.4 is more trouble than it's worth, and I'm going back to 0.3b.

First of all, someone had the amazing idea to only make it compatible with the latest version of RPH or else it crashes because it can't find a place to inject or something... Which means I have to update my god damn game. Which means I have to waste a lot of time (some would say too much time) reinstalling all of my mods.

 

I got ambitious, backed up my old version and wasted 3 hours re-downloading the newest version of the game... And it worked! LSPDFR loaded, now it's time to install my other mods. That should be easy and trouble-free, right?????????

 

No.

 

After wasting so much time installing RDE and all of the custom vanilla vehicles and all the weapons and all the sounds etc... I run the game, and get err_mem_embeddedalloc_alloc! Yay! Even better, nothing fixes it, except removing update.rpf... Which I had just spent a crap ton of time modding. 

 

After wasting more time and reinstalling the update.rpf stuff without RDE, yay. It works. But now I don't have my vehicles or peds or any other of the great RDE features. I know! Since I can't use RDE, I'll take the most important parts of it and put it into a DLC pack!

 

*fifty minutes later*

 

Yay, it's done! Now I'm going to run the game and finally get to use 0.4 with my mods!

 

Oh, wait. God damn it, now LSPDFR literally crashes on the loading screen and then the entire game crashes. Amazing. 

 

*looks at log* 

WHAT? IT ATTEMPTED TO ACCESS PROTECTED MEMORY AND THAT PROBABLY INDICATES THAT OTHER MEMORY IS CORRUPT? WOW WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THIS WOULD HAPPEN 

 

So. I'm now copying over my backup from an external hard drive, which at time of writing, has three hours remaining... And my 0.4 adventure is done.

 

Now I just have to try not to get jealous when I go on to this site and see that literally every single person in the known universe has 0.4 working except for me.

It isn't compatible for old game versions for the same reason that RPH isn't compatible for old game versions.  It isn't some dastardly evil thing that we devised while sitting in a darkened room thinking of creative ways that we could mess with people.  It is instead, a simple challenge of technical feasibility.  We can't support old game versions because when the game version changes, literally everything about the game from a programming perspective also changes.  It is the reason why everything breaks when the game updates.  I hope you'll understand that from a technical perspective, LSPDFR is a very complicated piece of work.  We do not simply choose not to support old game versions - it is a mere matter of feasibility and take it from me, it's not feasible.

 

Any problems that you have with a modded installation of the game are absolutely nothing to do with us.  We make a mod for Grand Theft Auto V, not your altered beyond recognition copy of Grand Theft Auto V.

 

Anything else is a bonus.

So, i've spend a lot of time to mod my game, too.

But this is how it works, buddy.

For me it was pretty clear that i have to put a lot of work into it again.

 

Making it compatible with the latest version of RPH is just how it works, like Sam said. As for the game memory error, I have gotten that many times before, and I have spent countless hours working on mine to fix it. Yes it was frustrating, but once I got everything finally working, it made playing the game that much more enjoyable.

Literally 1 second of googling and here's already a fix for your memory error: https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/heap-limit-adjuster-600-mb-of-heap

 

been using it for months, never seen a memory error again 

Initially I was very frustrated with .04 and I did move alot of stuff but now I love it. I still havent seen some of the stuff .04 has but I can tell you it seems to have smoother gameplay in general and I had no crashes

So do I. I finally fixed it, turned out I can’t load any plugins at startup, I have to install a different gameconfig and a file pack adjuster, and remove scripthookvdotnet...

 

But it’s totally worth it!

Even though that’s not my only problem? Did you even bother to read the entire post?
