I'd like to preface this post by making clear that I am NOT (yet) asking for help resolving the problem I'm about to detail, as there are still more steps I can try to resolve this issue myself. I'm creating this thread simply to see if anybody else ever has this issue.
Sometimes, and randomly from what I can tell, LSPDFR crashes mid load. Meaning I don't even boot into the game. Other times it loads like it's supposed to and I can play flawlessly until I shut it down. I only download add-ons with numerous high ratings and reviews, and from big community members (Albo1125 for example), so I'm hoping that eliminates a faulty plugin/car/etc. It's also worth noting that GTA V as a standalone game itself boots and works fine 100% of the time (with Script Hook V).
So does anyone else suffer from this torment? Below are the three steps I'm going to try this evening to attempt to remedy my situation, in case anyone else does have this issue and wants a possibly new approach.
Reverting entire GTA V folder back to vanilla (meaning it's original, first downloaded state).
Install both the manual and automatic version of LSPDFR (if the first one doesn't work).
Disable the auto-loading plugins (meaning I have to launch LSPDFR once inside the game via the command prompt).
I would also like to note that I'm not someone who doesn't know how to navigate this mod and its workings. I have, successfully, replaced all of my active police cars with their real life counterparts (or otherwise real units) as well as added in callouts and other additions. I also test my mods one by one by launching the game after each individual installation, testing for crashes, incompatibilities, etc.
