LMS and I figured this out (well, LMS did after I asked). If you aren't using multiplayer, block *outbound* connections from GTA IV or EFLC in your firewall (or just block them entirely). What's happening is that it's trying to talk to Rockstar's servers for RGSC stuff. Rockstar's servers are slow, hence the delay. We think the reason it's happening more now is GTA V related.

As cp702 already pointed out, it is waiting for a response from R* servers which can - depending on the current load - take up to a few seconds and blocking this in the firewall definitely helps. The next LCPDFR release provides an option to remove this connection check and the intro logos via memory patching (so no files are touched), allowing you to get ingame much faster and still having access to MP.

Those hackers need to be arrested and sent to Guantanamo.
You break the law, you pay the price.

Why do you want a police state?

When I press ALT-P it says go to nearest police station. I do and then it loads LCPDFR and I am in the PD station for about 2 seconds and then the game goes back to the beginning of GTA 4. I re-installed everything including the .NET Framework 4 Extended and the Visual C++ Redist. No other mods installed.

-People randomly swearing and shouting in the street (similar to the preachers found in the game)
-People walking around with knifes
-Can peds hold and throw bricks or glass bottles like the player? If so, a violent demonstration with bricks/glass bottles and even a Molotov or two being used
-People walking around with bottles
-An ALT+K variant that will cause drivers to turn around and go back the way they came

Probably not possible but I'd also like to see the ability to grapple with a person.

here is my new taser sound that is in devolpment

EDIT: THIS WILL BE REALESED WHEN THE FULL VERSION OF LCPDFR 0.95 COMES OUT.

Sounds good

Why have you reinstalled GTA 4? Did you get LCPDFR working?

Hi NZer, fellow Aussie here! To deal with my texture problems, I have this file that I place in my GTAIV folder. It works well to fix the missing textures - they might still occur but they will resolve themselves after a shortwhile.

Just download it and place it in your GTAIV root folder. (The one that has dsound.dll etc.)

Also, my computer is:
Windows 7 32-bit
4GB RAM (so 3.2GB)
Nvidia 9600GT
Intel E8400 @ 3.0GHZ

Not much difference from yours, I'd say.

Here is a picture

I am very confused... which file do I extract with WINRAR... then what?

I agree that Tasers should be available for police to use. In Australia, police have the only option (unless they call for specialised units) of escalating from capsicum spray to lethal force. A taser would provide a less than lethal option. However, I don't want to see it like in the US, where your pulling out your Taser at every street corner the moment you deal with a perp - only when a "firearm would be warranted but disproportionate" should a Taser be drawn. Tasers should only be drawn by a two officer patrol, one officer drawing a taser, another their firearm in case the taser fails.

Good thing the police officers in this country were armed.

If you need to post a topic requesting support, make sure that you do the following:
Give a clear, detailed description of the problem.
Explain any circumstances surrounding the problem.
State what solutions you have tried.
Post your diagnostics report log dump.
Post any other relevant logs.
Include as much information as possible.

You haven't done this. Do it.

Hello.

I have recently started playing LCPDFR again, so I downloaded 0.95 RC1 but I have come across an issue where as soon as I turn LCPDFR on, my game can crash any minute while doing anything LCPDFR related, even entering the police station.
Sometimes it simply crashes and goes to desktop, sometimes it gives me the usual ''problem with .exe'' screen.

My GTA IV is legit (not Steam), updated, and no mods are installed besides IVMP and LCPDFR itself. I have uninstalled IVMP and did all the checks in the announcement topic but my problem persists.

I have tried playing with callouts disabled, without logging in to GFWL/Social Club. I also didn't want to link my account first time I installed but I re-ran the installer and linked my account. Have tried stopping and starting scripts with the console before doing ALT+P and nothing. Still crashing.

I've attached the diagnostics log dump. Thanks in advance.

Currently we have it set so that only members of the LCPDFR Community Team and Developers can view who gave reputation points on posts, however as we are very fortunate in that we have a small and friendly forum set-up, perhaps it would be a welcomed change if we were to allow all registered members to see who gave reputation for posts?

This explanation is based around single player car mods only, with only a couple exceptions.

Introduction

First, this guide will not cover the cause of every single SMPA60 error.  This error is far more complicated than we once thought (even LMS doesn't know everything about it).  As such, it is impossible to cover every cause and respective resolution.  This guide will not cover errors caused when LCPDFR 1.0 is installed, as we do not know what is happening there.
 
You will know when you experience an SMPA60 error because you will receive an error message like this:

The way the game is set up, whenever you save the game and there is a vehicle at a safe house, it writes more than just the name of the car to the save game file. It also seems to record the car components, extras, model and skin details, et cetera. No one, except for the developers of GTA, knows exactly how the game writes the data.
 
Issues with Replacing Vehicles
 
So let's get to the problem. Many players like to download modded cars and then use them in GTA IV. There is nothing wrong with this. Some LCPDFR users also like to download new police cars and use those as well. Naturally, many people also like to save vehicles at their safe house for future use. Unfortunately, this is the main source of the problem.

From here on I will use these two cars for an example: A Crown Vic (already in game) and a Dodge Charger (car you want to replace the Crown Vic with).

So lets say that someone has a Crown Victoria in their game. They eventually get bored of it, just like many people do, so they decide to replace it with a Dodge Charger instead. When they replace the Crown Victoria's .wtd and .wft files (the model and texture files) with those of the Dodge Charger, they overwrite the Crown Vic data files. This happens every time you import a car mod. However, now that the Crown Vic is replaced, upon loading the game GTA tries to take the data it saved from the last save game and then apply it to the Dodge Charger. This simply does not work. The game becomes scrambled, it has no idea what to load, where to put things, or what to do. It then faults, crashes to the desktop (also known as a CTD), and outputs an SMPA60 error code.

The best way to avoid this, naturally, is to never save cars at your safe house. But that is completely impractical. Thus, the next best thing to do is to ALWAYS check what you have saved before you replace a car. Another good practice is to SAVE the old car mod data (in my previous example, the Crown Victoria) in a backup folder before replacing it just in case the game faults and you need to re-import it. Should you have a car saved, and you wish to replace it, you MUST remove it from the safe house and THEN save the game. Failure to do so will cause your game to CTD when loading the game with replaced car data.
 
Issues Regarding ELS v7
 
It has been brought to my attention (thanks, DarthWound) that ELS v7 may cause an SMPA60 error.  This seems to be related to allowing AI vehicles to use ELS.  The best course of action is to disable AI ELS if this problem affects you, however you can also change the ClearRandAiExtras setting in the ELS config file.  This will stop ELS from removing the lights on AI vehicles that randomly stay on when the car first spawns (think ELS v6 and earlier). To disable AI ELS, change this line in the ini file: AI_ELS_SP = OFF
 
Addendum I

As Olanov stated a few comments down, it is also likely that one will get an SMPA60 error while in a multiplayer game, if players are using different vehicle mods. In this case the only thing for you to do is to completely remove your mods from the game before you play multiplayer. The best alternative is to have two vehicles.img. One for SP and one for MP.
 
Addendum II

Some say that saving your game while an officer will cause an SMPA60 as well. I have never seen this happen, but it does make sense. I will note that if the game starts to load and IMMEDIATELY CTD's with an SMPA60, meaning it crashes in the loading screen, you should try to remember if you saved as a cop. If you did, your savegame file is GONE for good. If, however, you can start to play the game and it crashes during play, then follow the above steps, since it is probably caused by cars.

Well a sync issue I wouldnt think of due to very few players and I have played in games with around 10-16 players and never had any issues (minor lag from us be in diffrent countries) but no missing parts from cars.

Could you explain a little more? AFAIK no one was using ELS or modded cars or we would have crashed/lagged out

Really fucking sick of this shit on my fucking forum.
SMPA60 = PROVEN ERROR TO DO WITH ONE OF YOUR CAR MODS
NOTHING TO DO WITH LCPDFR
