Niko Drives Himself Bug?
Please refer to http://youtu.be/-T9DlHZKaT0 for a short video regarding this. It's accompanying description is what I will post here. Not sure whether it goes into LCPDFR 1.0 support or GTA IV support so I posted it here. Please watch in HD. It is available or your eyes will suffer. :P DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NO INTENTION OF UPLOADING OR DISTRIBUTING COPYRIGHT MATERIAL LICENSED UNDER ROCKSTAR GAMES. THIS VIDEO IS PURELY FOR BUG REPORT PURPOSES ONLY. MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NOT SUITABLE FOR MINORS UNDER THE AGE OF 18. Was randomly driving down the streets of LC in GTA IV when Niko decided he wants to drive himself. Although you see only in-game footage here, you have my word that my hands were completely off the keyboard during this full cycle which had in fact lasted about 5 minutes before I was shot dead by the police. I am running a legitimate copy of GTA IV from Steam which automatically patches in any new updates and I was on LCPDFR at the same time this happened. No error message of any kind was displayed prior or after this, and after I died and respawned at the hospital everything became normal. However, I did notice that Niko did not have his LCPDFR uniform (police) on when this occurred. It seemed highly likely that LCPDFR may have stopped running (wild guess?) at that point when he starts automatically driving himself, but yet for the previous 4 minutes that wasn't recorded I was STILL receiving callouts, making me doubt if LCPDFR had even crashed at all. And no, I do not have additional policing scripts. All you see is the most original in game scripts, LCPDFR and a few police vehicle models. Any ideas?

Modding and Crashing
That's indeed one thing I haven't thought about. I have a firetruck on my parking space from ages ago (save game). I'll try your suggestion and see how it turns out. Weird I have always been on an administrator account but 'Run as Administrator' is not ticked on LaunchGTAIV.exe and GTAIV.exe... will launch them on these settings and see how it turns out too. Steam version, automatically patches for me. :) UPDATE: It's sort of fixed for now, thanks guys! :)

Modding and Crashing
Hi, started modding GTA IV a while ago (say a few months back?) and it has been pretty rough for me since then. I do backup my files and reinstall when everything just goes haywire, but it isn't this bad as now. Right now I am facing crashes usually 5-10 minutes into the game (free roaming now since I've completed the game) since the most recent modding period for me (say a week ago?). I understand that more scripts could possibly crash up the game, but it has never been this quick to crash. Mods Installed: Chevy Power! Pack 1.0 for police1, police2 and polpatriot 2013 Ferrara 100' Aerial Ladder FDNY for Firetruck FDNY EQ2B Siren 2.0 for Sirens ELS 7 R2 for Lightings IVDashCam 2.2.1 for Dash Cam REMOVED Traffic Flow V5 R2 for Traffic Bug LCPDFR 0.95 RC2 R2 REMOVED And that's about all the mods I have. I have always checked the integrity of Steam cache files for GTA IV everytime I mod the game, and if I'm missing anything Steam automatically patched them in and the game runs fine. Yet now it's just suddenly crashing so often when I just return from MIA to modding. Lots of fatal errors but not once did it crash into the desktop without any message. Anyone have any idea how to resolve (or improve) the situation? Much help is appreciated. UPDATE: Tried to isolate the problem by uninstalling the various mods and trying for a few times each time, in the end removing the dash cam and LCPDFR seemed to do the trick. The game has been running smoothly since and I am still anticipating crashes but none happened as of now. :) I'll monitor for a longer while and if I need help I'll be back. Thanks ineseri for your guide too, I read it and it helps a lot. Thanks everyone. :)
