Thanks for your post LukeD, unfortunately both suggestions didn't work but I appreciate your help :) Thanks.

Hi All, I purchased the game through RGSC so therefore whenever loading the ragehook plugin it opens the GTA V launcher then checks for updates, now ragehook has managed to implement a backup and restore feature however I can't seem to bypass this launcher in order to get in game with an older version of GTA V as when launched it re-downloads the latest update, I have blocked the APP for internet access then it states it needs to communicate with rockstar servers and no option to play. Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat as me to try and get in-game whilst patiently waiting for ragehook to release a new update.

Works for steam not retail version ETA is apparently 10 minutes according to one of the coders.

I notice that it states you need steam in order to be able to run the mod, however its quite pricey on steam and I can buy GTA V a hell of a lot cheaper by purchasing a rockstar digital cd key, will the mod work if i buy the game this way? Many Thanks, Dan

Hi Shenells132, many thanks for taking your time to respond. After becoming infuriated i completely uninstalled GTAIV, ran a ccleaner and a reg cleaner so i ensured all files to GTAIV were deleted, i have re-installed LCPDFR,ELS V8 (have also tried ELS V7 but this still crash's game) i was previously using some uk mod skins for police cars but i then thought it might be that so i downloaded '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>, i backed up my vehicles.img that come with the original game, im currently running VDH police helper script & braveheart's policing script. I have found no matter what i uninstall, ELS,bravehearts script etc that the game keeps crashing, its GTAIV itself with a windows prompt and the screen goes black. I tried uninstalled lcpdfr and tried another police mod script and it seemed to crash in that as well. I have ensured that i have full permissions to the folder and i run gta as administrator, i have tried playing it offline instead to see if this makes any difference. I have a I5 4670K proccessor @ 3.40GHZ (not overclocked) Running windows 7 64Bit as i have 12GB DDR3 RAM, And a nvidia GTX 760 graphics card. (By Day i'm a second line I.T technician) I've researched on multiple forums for an answer but there doesn't appear to be one :( Its a real shame as i have such great fun playing for about 5 minutes! Before uninstalling GTA IV i tried some other xlive.dll files which didn't help. I'm currently running GTAIV from steam with the latest version of 1.07 i believe? .Net framework 4.5.2 is installed and i've just noticed that somehow i have 32bit and 64bit C++ installed, so i am just uninstalling all the 32bit ones at the moment but any other suggestions would be great. Also running latest graphic card drivers. Ideally i wouldn't like to go to the extreme and reformat my HDD's considering GTA 5 will be out soonish I really appreciate your time looking at this and replying thank you so much :)

Hi All, So my game was constantly crashing and i saw '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>and thought it may be due to this so i tried to install a "save game" on the latest version patched by steam and it seems to load a new game, does anybody have any links to a save game that works or have rockstar games changed were the saved game saves too? I've been loving playing LCPDFR but it seems my game crash's even without it running with the exact issue someone mentioned in the url above. I'm hoping for a quick fix as i'd have to redownload gta iv and start all over again. Thank you for taking the time to read this and any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
