You can't really compare Bukkit/Spigot/Paper to LSPDFR. They get access to the Minecraft Server source code. MC can be easily decompiled which gives a lot of power to modders. GTA is very against modders and made it clear in the past. They also tried to DMCA OpenIV in the past. As for performance, the game itself love to hog 1 CPU core, and the mods for it also live there. That's just a flaw with how GTA is made. Putting a lot of scripts into 1 core on a heavy game tends to make the CPU go brrrrrrrrr. It would be cool to see an open source LSPDFR but from what I have personally seen with this community I doubt we would see anything crazy come from it.

Here is how I see it, they made it, they own it, and they don't have to even provide us with it. It would be interesting to see it opened up, but I imagine a lot problems doing so. One issue, say people make forks that just don't work well or cause issues, imagine the cluster fuck of reports that would come here blaming the original devs. I can foresee a lot of problems with that. As for not implementing features that exist as external plugins, I can see why. Don't fix what aint broke. It doesn't make anything run better just because it's built in and frankly it would probably break the plugins that provide these feature pissing off the plugin devs. The API works really well, and if it's missing something important LMS or whoever will most likely add it in a future version. They are pretty good at helping out plugin devs. On top of that, LMS stated "would also need a clean up in some areas (server communication, authentication) to remove sensitive stuff." There are pros and cons to it. I really think they are on the right track by providing a good API allowing us to add features as neatly packed files for it VS having people release different forks with different feature sets that are not compatible. "Hmm should I choose the fork with tow trucks, or the fork with better ped interactions?" In the current state they're just plugins so they can be added as needed.

That page just shows backups. And frankly it isn't supported anymore is what I heard from RPH so you can just ignore it.

I see two possible problems. 1: Simply reinstall LSPDFR using the manual installer 2: You might simply just be out of ram. How much does your PC have?

Looks like you have Reshade or ENB. Its flickering because the lights are confusing it. You can find the different settings in the ENB/Reshade menu and disable them until you find the one causing it. Then tweak its specific settings to see if any can reduce or remove the flickering.
