It worked. Thank you so much! I would not have been able to figure it out without your help! All of the files I've downloaded all say "just replace your latest patchday with these files and you're good to go," but I'm still back on GTA IV and how simple (at least, compared to V...) it was. Thank you again.

I think where I'm lost is when the whole "patch day" thing comes into it. By files of the car, I mean yft, ytd, etc. When it comes to police2, police3, sheriff, etc., that's where I'm having trouble.

Thanks for the very detailed explanation! I thought I understood but apparently I did something wrong. A couple clarifications: 1) Am I supposed to keep the police3hi+.ytd even if the car I downloaded doesn't have one that came with it? 2) Where am I supposed to put the files of the car I downloaded? In the "mods" folder or elsewhere?

Greetings- I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong spot. I am having issues when it comes to adding other police cars to the game. I have managed to add cars in both the police and fbi slots, but when I try to put cars in police2 or police3, I do it the exact same way as I did the police and fbi cars and when I go to play the game, they are not there, just the original cars in the respective spots. Has anybody else encountered this issue? What is the way around this? Thanks!

Wouldn't it be something if they did something like what Netflix did with Orange is the New Black and release it a little early?

​So if I backed up the directory, and then started the game (and it inevitably updates), will putting the backed up directory back in there constitute putting it back to it's pre-update state?

Now, this is just showing my ignorance but when Sam said he "recommends that you make a backup of your game files and avoid updating to the latest version" does he just mean to backup the GTA V directory? Also, how do you prevent Steam from updating?

Let me start off by saying that I love the new site...but with one exception. A part of the download section. On the old site, there was a tab specific for LCPDFR API downloads. That made it very easy to go and see a particular file has been updated (among other things). With the new site, API downloads are grouped together with ALL script and data file modifications and so it's more difficult to just filter for the API downloads. Is this something that's easy to change? Thanks!

Thank you!

I am having issues left and right today. I noticed I had both dsound.dll xlive.dll in the folder. Don't know how that happened but it was there. The game and LCPDFR were loading fine. Thought to take out one or the other. Since (I believe) ELS requires dsound.dll to be there, I decided to remove xlive.dll. Well that was apparently not the right choice. The game wouldn't even get past the loading screen. So I think, 'Well, I'll just xlive.dll back and pretend none of this ever happened.' Nope. Now, (obviously) I have to sign into GFWL. Fine. After messing around for 10 minutes with a forgotten password, I get it signed in. Game starts to load. Great! Then after the loading screen fades to black, it says at the bottom "Starting a New Game..." -__- Before this mess happened, I had completed all of the story missions but hardly any of the other things to get it to 100% completion. I just want it to work. Now, I'm thinking, 'I'll just outsmart the game and go to the menu and select "Load..." GTAIV says there are no savegames on the hard drive. Well, I disagree. I open up Documents...Rockstar Games....GTA IV...savegames and voila, my save games are there. Anybody have any sort of an idea on how to fix this? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Thanks! I'll try that and see what happens.

First things first. Running LCPDFR 1.1 on GTAIV. Only extra mod installed is ELS 8.5. I believe all of the needed files are attached. Most of the callouts crash the game, every time, without fail. The add-ons I have are Backup Callout 1.20, The Wasteland 0.9.0, WoutersCallouts 1.1, and Callouts+ 0.7.3. The crash will happen upon arrival to the area. Backup Callout rarely crashes the game. Callouts+ occasionally crashes the game with the Murder call and more often crashes the game with the Suspicious Person call. Wouters Callout crashes the game every time with the Fuel Theft, Robbery in Progress, Cardiac Arrest. The Wasteland is pretty stable, the callouts associated with it will crash the game here and there, but nothing like "If I take this callout, the game WILL crash upon arrival. However, what I've found to be the worst culprit are the callouts associated with LCPDFR itself. For instance, "Reports of Shots Fired," "Drug Deal," "Armed Robbery," (and I'm sure there are others but I can't find a list of LCPDFR callouts) will, every time, like clockwork crash the game. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Awesome. It works. Thanks!

I apologize in advance if this is not in the correct section but I thought this was the best place to post it it since it's not really "support." Anyway, is there any way to get the in-game music? Not talking about the radio songs so much as I am the bumpers when you complete a mission for example. Also, I've already purchased the album with the main themes so I'm not talking about that either. Thanks for any help.
