Of Taxi's and Crashes

[WrathPhoenix 0]

Hello everyone. I have been searching through the forums and learning more about this glorious mod. I really enjoy it, and hope it continues well into GTAV.

So, I first wanted to ask a general question here... I have read up and down about the "bug" (if you can call it that) where you cant call a taxi, nor can you even get in one as a passenger. Now my understanding here is that this is intentional at the moment with the way the traffic stop system works. I am curious... is there intent in the near future to address this? I know it sounds bad, but this is a real issue with me.. i Use taxis quite a lot.. But It is a necessary evil for me to play through your excellent procedural gameplay. I have heard mixed language on this, and am not sure if there is a workaround in the interim either... but i figured I would ask.

The second thing is that I am experiencing errors and crashes both with and without braveheart's script. I have reverted my game back and reinstalled using only FR and still get occasional crashes when on duty. I am not sure why this is, and i can go do some research and get a crash log if it helps.. .but i figured i would report it. The crux of the issue seems to be that if i am responding to an actual call while an ambient type event is occuring nearby then the game will stall and crash. At first i thought this was due to the braveheart policing script, but it even occured after uninstalling the script.

And finally, in relation to the first issue reported here.. Even after re installing the game clean with no FR installed - i can no longer hail taxi cabs at all anymore... period. I do not know if there is a fix for this.

I came back to thinking on this issue after posting this... i noticed the errors occuring again which usually led to my crashes before. I went back and got the diagnostics toool, below are the results of that diag run.

Instead of using taxis to travel large distances set a waypoint then you can open the command box by pressing: ~ Key, And type: teleport WP

And yes GTA with this mod and ELS do crash every now and then,
