First off I have done all of these:
Make sure you aren't using a crack - We don't support cracks
Update GTA IV to 1.0.7.0 (the latest version of the game, or 1.1.2.0 for EFLC) - This sometimes fixes a wide variety of issues
Make sure that you run the game as an administrator.
Make sure that your GTA IV root folder (and every subdirectory) is not set to "read-only"
Ensure that ScriptHook.dll, ScriptHookDotNet.asi and Dsound.dll OR Xlive.dll are in the GTA IV ROOT folder
Ensure that there is a folder titled 'LCPDFR' in the ROOT GTA IV folder.
Check that all the above files exist, if they do not, reinstall LCPDFR with the MANUAL installation.
Ensure that you are using up to date versions of every LCPDFR dependency and LCPDFR itself.
Install these: .Net Framework 4.5, Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2012
Every time I start the game it loads fine and then maybe 5-20 seconds in it will stop responding for no apparent reason. The game works fine without LCPDFR 1.0b.
Here is my lcpdfr log:

Any help would be nice, I have tried a lot of various things like the dsound instead of xlive etc. I think it might have to do with a network connection but I have tried it without internet on and with it off. I tried linking my account to the settings but I get a 502 gateway error after clicking "verify" despite all servers of LCPDFR being up. Also it crashes whether or not I am on duty or not.
My specs are Windows 8 with a 2.80ghz i7 and 16gb Ram and 64 bit Opearting system.
Sorry to double post but I wanted it noticed. I couldn't figure out how to mark this resolved but I got my issued fixed by deleting left over ELS files...
