Sorry I had to laugh at your post.  I hated the campaign so much that I had to finish 3 times on 3 different platforms!!  man this thing really sucked!
What the heck are you on about. The campaign was great.

Oh no, know you're trolling them?
 
Also, I can't believe you people are still falling for this trickery. The timer IS THERE. If you have not figured this out yet then you are beyond lost.

We should have a countdown to a possible countdown. #Hypetrain

​I don't see why LSPDFR would need to be "held back" until there are car mods...they are two completely different things. LSPDFR is a script, car mods are models. You can play LSPDFR without car mods, and you could have car mods without LSPDFR. Just because you don't want to use the default cars doesn't mean the release of LSPDFR should be held back.
Also, LSPDFR adds brand new gameplay to the game. Car mods are only visual, they don't add any new gameplay aspects whatsoever. I don't see why their releases should coincide.

Take your time. Do it right. Know that your work is very much appreciated by many.

​This is a nice way to think of it.
I apologise if my absence from this topic has been alarming, and I'm sorry that we don't have something for all of you to play yet.  To be completely honest, if we had decided to set a release date, unleash the hype train and please everyone that is asking/demanding/begging for one, we'd have had a lot of very, very disappointed people on Friday.
Unfortunately we run into problems and barriers quite regularly during development.  To give you a few examples, we had a serious performance issue that was discovered just yesterday resulting in the game running at 10 FPS during certain sequences.  This was a problem caused by LSPDFR and was of the severity that it actually crashed the performance analysis tool we use.  It took a few hours to resolve, and as with a lot of things in software development, the fix to issue caused more problems than it solved.  To put it into context, and this is actually what happened, I had to spend my entire night, from 11pm until 3am re-writing one of the most crucial AI systems in the project - our custom pursuit AI.  The fix to the first issue had broken the pursuit logic, and the result was that the internal timing for it was hideously broken - with things running too fast and too slow.  Too fast meant that cops were trying to do three things at once.  Too slow meant that cops were being left to their own devices for too long, and we all know what happens when you leave the LSPD to do their own thing (it involves a hail of bullets).  So, after rewriting this pretty important part of the project to use our new timing system, what appeared to just be one problem had turned into a lot more, and we had to fix them before we could do anything else.
This is why a release date will never be given.  When we wake up, we don't know what unforeseen problems are in store for us on that day.  All I can say is that it has been a little over a week since what I promised would be the final trailer.  The banner at the top still, in typical Sam fashion, still has the branding of a 'final countdown'.  If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't keep it up there.  I understand that people might be disappointed, but I suspect that this disappointment would be multiplied by a few billion if after the 'long' wait (a month and a bit), every time you tried to get into a chase in LSPDFR, your game ran at 10 FPS, and even if you could somehow cope with that, you had better hope you didn't encounter any backup units during that pursuit as if you did, you could forget about any notion of your suspect remaining alive for more than five seconds after.  This is just some of the stuff we have to deal with.  Let's try not to add the grief of a small number of people on here to that list.

​Hideously toxic? Not deserving of anything? I dont see see any posts in any way shape or form deeming us "Not deserving of anything" Just because people like to state their opinions and are a little upset and mislead by the 2nd trailer post about it "Coming Soon" or it being "The Final Countdown" that dosent make us toxic, Thats a very close minded opinion of people being disappointed because they are so excited for the release of this mod, dont get peoples passion confused with disrespect. 

​The timing is unfortunate because we've stated a few times we are releasing LSPDFR soon (the trailers say this). It's an annoyance to have to work around a new update while developing and waiting for a fix for the Scripthook. It's not that we were waiting to release the day the content update is released, it's just that we want to release is as soon as possible, but also at the most perfect time possible we can find. I'm surprised that was the post that launched the "LSPDFR is released soon" hype instead of the actual trailer that actually says... "Coming Soon". 
Also, the LSPDFR development team is not Rockstar Games. They're not EA. They're not Bioware. They're not Bethesda. They're doing this for free. Because they have a passion for GTA V Modding and policing in GTA V. And yet there are those who are getting annoyed and impatient that we're not throwing out release after release? We do not have the resources  to be able to do such things. Sam and LMS are human beings, and I feel that I have to remind people of this from time to time. They have a life like you and me, and they need to tend to their life too, not just LSPDFR. I can assure you from several late nights in the TeamSpeak with both of them that they are the most dedicated developers on the planet right now, and it's sad to see the kind of level of disrespect seeding in some places on the forums and in PMs. Be patient, and your patience will be rewarded. 

​That's a very good way to not support us. Thanks. 

​AdBlock makes Sam sad. And you know what happens when Sam is sad? He delays LSPDFR.

​I'm assuming you used Google Translate because I haven't got a clue of what you're trying to say...

​Yeah, the wait is even worse now because I've caught a horrible cold. Why does time go by so slowly when you're ill?

​Impatience and exitement are two different things. I don't see anybody whining here.

​We get it, can't you just let us have our hype? I mean that's all we have

​Must. Contain. The. Exitement!

I have an idea... if the Online police station contains an interview room, maybe we could have basic text-based interrogation of suspects? just for Roleplaying and moviemaking kind of stuff.

​In the meantime

​You can disable automatic updates via steam, just be smart enough not to go "oo a GTA V update" and click install. Otherwise you're, hmm what's that phrase, ah yes... shit outa luck.

​Sam, is there an expected release date? I'm sadly having to use the POLICE MOD, I can't wait!! :DDD

Imagine if Sams pc broke and he lost LSPDFR it just vanished, lets hope hes made a backup because if he didnt I would have to think about ending my life if that actually happened

Me watching the trailer:

 

​I'm guessing just experience. LCPDFR started out as just a way to have a cop skin and call for backup, and evolved into what it is now. LSPDFR doesn't have to go through that process since Sam (kind of) knows what he's doing now.

There should be an evacuate area option that makes all Civs in the area leave and bans anyone from coming unless you say it is safe to come back.
