Hey guys, just wanted to share this with the community as I came across what seems to be a bug with LSPDFR. I've discovered that some add-on cars cause LSPDFR to crash to desktop immediately on start up. I was experimenting with installing some cars off GTA5-mods.com (both police and non-police addons) and noticed my game was crashing to desktop as soon as LSPDFR would start loading after starting up RPH. However as soon as I removed the addons from dlclist.xml, which stopped them from loading into the game, LSPDFR loaded just fine. I tested a number of various add-on cars and saw this issue with some but not others, so not sure exactly why some are causing LSPDFR to crash (perhaps LOD related issues). I have Main.PreloadAllModels = false set in the ini file, but was still seeing the crashing until I removed the offending addon cars.

 

So if you're having desktop crashes as you load LSPDFR, and you've installed custom addon cars, take a look at your dlclist.xml in update.rpf>common>data and remove all of the addon cars you might have in there. Hopefully this could solve your issue!

So let's brainstorm together for a minute if you will.

 

I have about 30 replacement cars between my patchday18 and patchday20 folders that spawn with everyday traffic, and then I have a Fast and Furious pack that's sitting in the game as add-ons just because I like the F&F franchise. These add-on cars, however, do not spawn in game unless called upon, which would be never with LSPDFR running. Do you really think my replacement cars and a pack of add-ons that don't see any action are causing a straight to desktop crash?

 

I've tried so many remedy methods I can't even remember if I tried disabling the extras in my dlclist, but I'll try it now. I'm also a little skeptical because my crash isn't happening as soon as I load LSPDFR, but like 15-20 minutes after patrolling. The game is 100% stable for at least an hour or so without LSPDFR loaded (this includes with RPH loaded).

Yeah I can't speak on crashes that are happening 15-20 minutes in. But what I saw was if I had the cars listed in my dlclist.xml, LSPDFR crashed to desktop as soon as it started loading and the log showed a SystemAccessViolation error. However, as soon as I took them out of dlclist, it worked just fine. I don't get it either, cause the cars were not spawning in the game, as you say, but just the matter of fact of loading them into GTA 5's memory, caused LSPDFR to freak out. Can't begin to explain it, but I was able to reproduce it multiple times so thought I throw it in here as it might help someone.

Good deal. I'll still try it out and advise back. It would be awesome to be able to play LSPDFR for longer than 20 minutes tops. Lol
