Status Updates
LSPDFR for Enhanced
We're very excited to announce that LSPDFR Enhanced, after months of development and testing, is now entering the next phase of the development process and is now available to our Insiders. We are deeply grateful to everyone in our staff team and closed testing community for their feedback and support that have brought us to this point.
 
The current build is largely stable, though a handful of bugs remain and we are not yet feature complete with Legacy. Development is advancing quickly, and each new revision brings us closer to a fully polished release.
 
Several community members have asked whether the Legacy edition will continue to receive attention. Both RAGEPluginHook and LSPDFR have been engineered to accommodate the Legacy and Enhanced branches side‑by‑side. With most of the heavy lifting complete, our goal is to roll out updates to both editions in parallel.
 
As soon as we’ve smoothed out the last few wrinkles and made sure everything runs flawlessly, we can’t wait to roll out LSPDFR Enhanced to everyone.
 
The new LCPDFR.com
Work on the redesigned LCPDFR.com is progressing steadily. The site and its companion, RDR2Mods.com, run on the same underlying codebase.
An early version of the community upgrade is already live on RDR2Mods.com, allowing us to gather real‑world feedback, refine new concepts, and further stabilize the platform before bringing the enhancements to LCPDFR.com.
 
 
We thank you all for your patience and continued enthusiasm, and hope to share even more with you soon.

There's no widespread issue with LSPDFR/RPH and player numbers are now almost at pre-patch levels - no further LSPDFR or RPH patch needed!
If you're still having issues, feel free to post in our support forums.

Hello everyone! As you’ve seen, the new “Bottom Dollar Bounties” update introduces several new vehicles that we’ve integrated into LSPDFR. Alongside these additions, there have been a few behind-the-scenes changes necessitating updates from developers for their mods.
 
In this news post, I’ll outline the updates for the most commonly used mods in the LSPDFR community and provide guidance on what needs updating. While the focus is on the LSPDFR community, I’ll also include general information beneficial to any user of GTA V modifications.
 
LSPDFR and RAGEPluginHook (RPH)
Both LSPDFR and RAGEPluginHook required updates for this new patch:
The fixes are included in LSPDFR build 8943 and RPH 1.110, both of which are part of the latest LSPDFR download. This update includes support for the new “Bottom Dollar Bounties” vehicles, adding five new police vehicles to the default LSPDFR loadout. Additionally, it includes general quality-of-life fixes from our maintenance branch, reduces the spawn chance of the gauntlet, and addresses an oversight allowing the gauntlet to spawn for prisoner transport. Update 30th June 2024: Microsoft Defender has incorrectly introduced a false positive detection for RPH in a recent definition update. If you're affected, you'll see RPH briefly mentioning 'Verifying Hook' and crash. It may not be sufficient to just exempt your GTA folder; To start RPH, it may be necessary to temporarily disable your AV. You can re-enable your AV when RPH starts and hooks successfully.
 
Scripthook V (SHV)
SHV typically requires an update for each new patch. Alexander Blade, the creator of SHV, has updated his hook, available on the Scripthook V page. Many non-LSPDFR modifications rely on SHV, so updating is essential.
 
Emergency Lighting System (ELS)
Well, this is the update that finally broke ELS! However, luckily the file that needed an update was @LMS’s AdvancedHookV.dll library. This new file, which you’ll need to use ELS on the new patch, is available from the ELS download page.
To install it, download the AdvancedHookV_b3258.zip file and extract the included AdvancedHookV.dll into your game folder.
 
SirenSetting Limit Adjuster (SSLA)
Users have reported SSLA causing game crashes. If you use RPH, your game might crash during the "Initializing Game Support" stage. To resolve this, remove SirenSetting_Limit_Adjuster.asi from your game folder until an update becomes available.
 
Community Scripthook V .NET (SHVDN)
The latest game update also caused problems with SHVDN, including crashing when trying to open the SHVDN console, and scripts refusing to load. The fix for this and other SHVDN issues are included in their nightly builds, which you should install if any of your mods use or require SHVDN.
 
OpenIV File Mods (mods folder)
If you’ve installed file mods through OpenIV, you’ll probably need to at least update update.rpf in your mods folder. This usually involves deleting the file and recreating it, and reinstalling any modifications that you put into that file. This is the downside of using the OpenIV mods method, unfortunately.
 
LML File Mods (lml folder)
If you’ve installed file mods through LML, you won’t need to reinstall or update your mods in general.
Just make sure you've got the latest LML gameconfig.xml, which you can find here:
 
 
gameconfig.xml
Please note that using an outdated modified gameconfig.xml will crash loading into story mode. An updated gameconfig.xml can be found on GTA5-Mods. 
 
Other Honourable Mentions
Heap Adjuster, PackfileLimitAdjuster, and Weapon Limits Adjuster do not require updates at this time and should continue to function normally if installed.
 
This post summarises the most common LSPDFR-related modifications and their updates. If you continue to experience issues, it’s likely specific to your setup rather than a widespread problem. For assistance, visit our Community Support forums and check common problems and solutions, or make a new thread reaching out to our volunteer community for further help.
 
If you have any feedback or feel there are additional topics we should cover, please let us know in the comments below. Your input helps us provide better support and information to the community

I'm surprised they got that patent I'll be honest. I did not fully read it but the fundamental method is not novel and has been used in multiple other multiplayer games for some time - which by the way, still get modded/hacked. I'm sure this will only be used for online functionality, but even if it is used in singleplayer, will be worked around.
 
It may have even been implemented already in GTA Online, although I am not familiar with recent GTA Online developments. Previously a good number of variables were boobytrapped already in GTA V.
This would be to protect in-memory information, for example, player health, vehicle health or vehicle velocity. The patent doesn't cover files / file modding.

No way to know until 1) the game is released and 2) the game exists on PC.
 
There were similar discussions around GTA V before it was released, that it would be hard to mod, Rockstar hates modders etc etc, but in the end, it all... kind of... worked out. 

It's been a while since we actively recruited staff, 2017(!) and well before the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world. But LCPDFR.com hasn't stopped growing in this time and is bigger than ever. That's why today we're announcing some changes to the team to allow us to scale more and to invite you to get involved. 
 
Community Team Structure
Our Community Team has previously operated with a large scope and our moderators have been expected to moderate the entire site. This means anything from member disagreements, to credits concerns on a file, to approving files to someone spreading inaccurate information on LSPDFR support forums.
As LCPDFR.com has undergone a massive expansion in terms of community, mod and support growth; this has led to increased burden on our Management & Community teams including people working on particular parts of the website they may not be entirely familiar with or may not interest them. We also have not recruited to replace moderators which have left us in the previous years, further increasing this burden.
 
One of the changes we're making today, along with recruiting new Community Team members, is to make two new more specific moderation roles.
 
Support Moderator
This position is for those who are active within our support forums and are willing to help keep them tidy. This includes making sure posts are made in the correct support sub forum, preventing users from hijacking posts (posting their own problem in someone else's thread), preventing necro posts (posting in a thread that has not had activity for a significant amount of time), posting solutions to common problems, seeking more information from users seeking support (asking for logs, etc.), and marking threads as "solved" when a solution is found.
Support moderators will be expected to have general knowledge of common LSPDFR, RPH, and GTA V issues and their solutions and have basic troubleshooting skills.
 
File Moderator
This position is for those who are active within the downloads section and are familiar with modding GTA V. You do not necessarily need to know how to code or model, but have skills in determining when files are ripped or stolen. Duties include reviewing files that are held for manual approval and ensuring they follow our File Guidelines, investigating mods that may be stolen and referring these to Community Moderators, and keeping the downloads section of the site tidy (making sure files are posted in the correct category, all files have proper credits, etc.).
 
Applications & Getting Involved
Do the new roles above appeal to you? We're excited to build the Community Team further and would like to invite anyone who is interested to fill out a short form, expressing their interest. We need applicants to be at least 18 years old, able to use Discord & Slack for training and communication. Whilst we don't have strict activity guidelines, we do expect moderators to keep up with reports and internal discussions.
 
If you think that you'd like to get involved with LCPDFR.com by volunteering some of your free time to moderating our community, please submit an application to us using the following link: 
 
http://lcpd.fr/staffapp
 
Applications close Monday 30th October midnight GMT.

Pretty Neat!

Whelen HHS3200
Or, i don't know the difference but this is the same wail. 
 

Hello, i like to ask, do you guys & girls think that there will Police cars in these models?
 
and
 
I think they would be nice to see instead of the FPIU/Ford Police Interceptor Utility on the roads.
What do you think?

Hello everyone,

I hope you're having a fantastic springtime and looking forward to the summer!
 
It's been a long time since we've posted a website roundup update, but there's a few changes we're really excited to let you know about. Some of these changes you may have already seen, some will definitely be new.
 
File Tagging System Rollout
We've started Phase 1 of our file tagging system rollout. This update went live today and additionally we've spent some time tagging the first few pages of Vehicle Models to introduce you to it.
 

A look at some files with new tags, different tag types are distinctively coloured.
 
One of the reasons we have not used the built-in tagging system that comes with the software we are using is because it lacks a lot of features a community our size needs. The new home-grown solution combines the tagging solution that comes with our software natively, but extends it with many features:
The ability for our moderation staff to manage tags Tag "categories" with distinctive features, for example; Vehicle Brands, Vehicle Year, System Tags Ability for us to easily see tag use Ability for members to easily navigate tags Ability for authors to find the tags they want to apply easily, and with tag categories, ensure they're picking the correct tags. System and gated tags. For example, the tags fivem and lml will be automatically applied to files and cannot be applied manually. Certain tags can also be gated as author-only, or site-staff only for future expansion. We have started the system today with some vehicle-specific tags (Vehicle Brand, Vehicle Year and Vehicle Country). More tags and tag categories will come as we move into the other phases of this new tagging system.
If you've got any feedback on what tags and tag categories we could further add, feel free to leave feedback on this post.

Here's a small list of what we're working on for future updates:
Community and reputation based tagging (users can tag old files to help tag files which are never going to be updated) A new part of the site where you can see all tags on a certain page, and sort by their uses. Automatic tagging based on image analysis and OCR. A page where anyone can recommend tags (and perhaps tag categories) which can be voted on. Making it easier to tag files, by not allowing arbitary input into the tag box.
 
Using the new downloads tag page to find tags that have files you're interested in.
 
 




Authors, you can get started today tagging your files, just hit the 'Add Tag' button next to your file title.
Tagging is always optional, but helps users find your file in the sea of uploads.

A short video showing how to tag files.

AI alt-text and Image Precheck
We now automatically generate an alt-text for all images uploaded. You can see these on image attachments on the forum, as well as file screenshots. These will help discovery both via LCPDFR.com site search (these tags are now inserted into our search index) and Google as well as aid to make the site a bit more accessible.
Along with this, images are now checked via our Image Precheck system for compliance with our Community Guidelines. Images which may not be in compliance with our Community Guidelines may be held for approval or rejected. We hope this keeps the community safer.
 
Speed & Performance
We fixed two major causes of latency for logged in users over the past few weeks. Both of these were caused by bad database queries.
We've shaved off around ~4s worst case of viewing the LCPDFR.com homepage, and around ~1.5s worst case of latency per file listing.
Thank you to the ULSS Discord Server for bringing this to my attention (specifically @SuperPyroManiac).
 
Other Fixes & Changes
Introduced WebAuthn 2FA support. While this is going to be used mostly internally for securing administrative accounts, this option is also available to all users. Show a warning when using colors in the website editor, reminding users of the different themes. LSPDFR Sync no longer shows deactivated members' characters. Fixed an issue with recording and displaying file checksums on the post-download page. Fixed file embeds from rendering an entire page on error. Fixed an issue IPS refuses to fix, correctly lazyloaded content between paginations. Added a game filter to user download special pages. Fixed an issue with file comments/reviews being removed from the search index. Guest views now correctly increment content view counts. ...And numerous other backend changes that would be too expansive to list.

Love the nostalgia

I noticed this morning. Interesting times for sure, especially for a company so normally secretive.

Thanks for your patience! I think we are at a point where I am happy to consider open sourcing LCPDFR. There are a few caveats, however, mostly due to licensing and how the project is associated with us:
The source code would be hosted on our GitHub repo with a GPL-license, with no third-party binary distribution (I am thinking either only binaries on the official repo or on the website here, still need to figure it out) More than happy to give you full permission on GitHub to manage the project as I do not intend to be involved If you plan to create any communities surrounding the development (reddit, discord etc.), please check with me first as I would like to have administrator there since our name is being used These rules are preliminary, and we can of course revisit and see how things go, but that is how I feel about it currently. Let me know what you think.

Gotcha,
 
The only EUP from the developer I could find on the site is 8.3. If your wanting an older version maybe try the Developers discord.
 
 
 

Try going into your ELS.ini file and changing ElsTrafCtrlOn to false

Thank you so much!

We've released a minor compatibility update for LSPDFR 0.49 (Build 7871) which adds compatibility for the new version of GTA V (v2372) - Los Santos Tuners.
 
There are no changes in this version other than those necessary to make the mod work on the new game version, although we may release another update in the near future to expand upon this.
 
Please report any issues or bugs with LSPDFR on the new game version, if you find any, on the support forums.  As we want to get the mod in your hands as quickly as possible after a game update, we often don't have as much time as we'd like to fully test things through.
 
Note that the new version of the RAGE Plugin Hook which is required for LSPDFR to work on the Los Santos Tuners update is included with the new LSPDFR download.  The RAGE Plugin Hook website has not yet been updated, so you should not download the RAGE Plugin Hook from there but instead use the included version with LSPDFR.
 
Please ensure that you now update your game to the latest version of GTA V before playing this new version of LSPDFR 0.4.9, which you can find as normal on the main LSPDFR page.
 
 
If you are having problems with LSPDFR 0.4.9, please do not post about them in this topic, but use the support forums instead.
Before you do, though, read through this topic: https://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/topic/89691-read-will-save-your-time-common-issues-fixes-and-bugs
 
There are a lot of fixes for common problems in there.

Lessons from the virtual world, for the real world, in LSPDFR 0.4.9  
We're back with another update for LSPDFR 0.4 which introduces a small handful of new features, as well as a couple of changes to the way in which the core pursuit system within the mod works.  
 
Before we get to that though, the key headline of LSPDFR 0.4.9 - and something that we're really excited about - is that we've partnered with researchers at two major North American research universities: Brigham Young University (BYU) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) to explore the real-world research potential of LSPDFR, and the role that it could play in helping to understand how people react and behave in a law enforcement environment.
 
I know this might sound like a big change from the sort of updates that most of you who follow our work will be familiar with - and it certainly is in many aspects, but this doesn’t represent a fundamental change to LSPDFR itself, nor does it imply any significant changes to the way in which players will approach or interact with the mod.  Instead, we've created an opt-in system, similar to the statistics features already integrated into the mod with LSPDFR Sync, where with merely an enhanced level of in-game stats tracking, you'll be able to contribute towards our research with two top institutions by simply playing the mod.  
 
To this end, we've added a new, simple call to LSPDFR that is used to support the survey data by following a more predictable pattern as compared to our traditional callouts within the mod.  Note that nothing changes in this regard if you choose not to take part in the study, and you can still play the new call as normal.
 

The new 'Arrest Warrant' call in LSPDFR 0.4.9 has you query the Police Computer and respond to a suspect's residence.
 
By gathering together these statistics with the player’s response to a couple of in-game scenarios, we’re hopeful that we can use this data to better understand how players, and by extension, law enforcement might react in certain situations in the real world.
 
There's more information about our research study over at https://research.lcpdfr.com/ where you can also opt in to take part.  I should note that as a thank you for helping with this, the universities have given us a couple of $50 Amazon gift cards that anyone who participates in the study will be entered into a lottery to win.
 
 
Changes to pursuits, a new apartment and more interaction.
 
Back on the topic of the other stuff in LSPDFR 0.4.9, though, one of the biggest changes that you'll notice affects the NPC police response to pursuits, bringing a new sense of variety to the way in which situations can be handled by responding officers.  Instead of all pursuits within LSPDFR being treated exactly the same, we've split up the system into two modes: Investigation and Chase.
 
A new 'confrontation' during an investigation, conducted entirely by NPC officers.
 
In the Investigation state, we no longer consider a Pursuit to be an actual chase - if that makes sense.  Instead, there's a little room for diversity in the actions of the officers and the suspects, rather than just someone running and the officers following.  So, in our initial implantation of this we've created a new response scenario where the responding officers will approach a suspect at a walking pace, usually with a hand on their holster.  They'll point at the suspect, call out for them to stop, and the system then takes over from there depending on the suspect's response, with the potential the suspect to either resist and escalate the Pursuit into the Chase state (which is what we're all currently familiar with), or for them to surrender peacefully and be arrested without any theatrics.
 
Moving on from this change, there's a couple of new features that've snuck their way in to LSPDFR 0.4.9 as well, including a new Downtown Los Santos apartment that not only boasts an absolutely killer city view, but is also conveniently opposite the FIB and IAA buildings - perfect for those of you that like your LSPDFR with a side of paperwork and federal bureaucracy.
 
You can also now seamlessly sit down on most chairs and benches throughout the game world with the tap of a button.

More Information: https://research.lcpdfr.com/  
We hope that you enjoy this update for LSPDFR and that you'll also help us out with our new research project, which we think is a really worthwhile opportunity for all of us and something that will be genuinely rewarding to take part in - it's not every day that major universities partner up with a game mod and we're thrilled to be able to take part in this.
 
If you are having problems with LSPDFR 0.4.9, please do not post about them in this topic, but use the support forums instead.
Before you do, though, read through this topic: https://www.lcpdfr.com/forums/topic/89691-read-will-save-your-time-common-issues-fixes-and-bugs/
 
There are a lot of fixes for common problems in there.

We certainly share the concerns mentioned by you and others. However, even if most people behaved "crazy" like you said, there could still be a lot of value in it when looking at tendencies. Is someone even crazier/less crazy when facing event/situation X? It then does not really matter what their overall playstyle is, because you can see nuances depending on the situation. That would still be a very valuable insight.
 
 
This is the first iteration of the new system and we plan to add more interactions by the AI such as verbal warnings or ticketing. Those did not make it into 0.4.9 just yet. The only way for you to trigger the new system in LSPDFR itself currently is when calling in a crime. We now consider non-violent, on foot crimes for the new investigative mode. For instance, if an angry pedestrian shoves you (but not punches/fights) and you were to call that in, it would not turn into a full-blown chase where the suspects immediately starts sprinting away followed by police. Instead, they would walk off not knowing they have been reported. If you then were to call in backup, they would slowly approach and confront the suspect just like in the video. There is a chance the suspect might surrender on sight or resist. 
 
We have many more plans for the system to "de-pursuit" the whole of LSPDFR in upcoming updates, so stay tuned 🙂

My last website update has been a while, so I thought it was worth adding a few notes on some new features that are live now, and some which have been soft-launched in the past month or so you may have missed.
We've also just made live a few tweaks to the site search that we've been working on and I thought it was worth sharing with you all.
 
Excluding comments and reviews from search results
The default behavior for our site search is to include both comments and reviews as part of the search. This isn't too useful when searching for files and reviews because, for example, if you search 'British', you'll end up with results where somebody would ask for a British-version of the pack in the comments.
So starting from today, we no longer include comments and reviews when you search for files. This functionality has been deployed to all of the site search, so you can optionally use it for other content too, for example gallery images. You can also choose to revert to the old behavior for file searches by changing the exclusion options.
You can see an example of this in action and how it can be useful with a British-themed search here.
 
Wildcard searches
Our site search now properly supports wildcard searching. This functionality is not too useful for most content, but is useful for example in searching for phrases which are not separated by spaces.
You can see an example of this in action and how it can be useful in searching our Native Database here.
 
Featured and Trending pages
We now default to only showing one game in our featured and trending list -- mixing GTA V, GTA IV and Resources content didn't make much sense here! The game will be GTA V by default, but you can configure this by changing your default game on the main downloads page. You can also use the filters on the page itself to check out other categories.
 
Misc Downloads Changes
When uploading a file, you can sometimes lose track of the tab and end up closing it by accident. You'll now get a confirmation when closing the tab or window to make sure you don't waste time uploading content to LCPDFR.com. We have acknowledged some speed issues when uploading and hope to have a fix ready later soon. File comments are now sortable by the newest comment. Depending on user feedback, we may make this the default behavior in the future. The file field (used in 'Optimized for') no longer performs terribly and now actually works. Fix some validation issues with LML install.xml contributions. Fix some issues with the table on downloads category pages. Fix an issue where file types didn't show in 'Inside the File'.  
And later this year..
My focus recently has been to improve a lot of less user-visible features on the website that need a bit more love. For example, I've been putting a particular focus into our moderation tools and our search. Our moderation tools have not scaled to the current size of the community so this is a priority for us to streamline. I'm especially interested on improving our file approval process with a friendlier file approval flow that will be easier for users to see what's going on and easier for our moderators to work with. Hopefully we'll roll this out next month.
We are also working on re-working our file security scan and file upload process to prepare for an eventual move for files to an Amazon S3 compliant storage service.
Concerning further work on the site search, the improvement plan is for file search results to look and feel similar to how exploring files in their categories works now, including the ability to filter based on author-provided data just like the category view.
We're also hoping to feed our trending data and downloads data into the search to help provide more relevant suggestions.
 
I hope everyone is safe and well and that this year hopefully is a lot better than the last.

This topic has been moved to the appropriate forum. Please post in the correct location in the future.

@BBarrett97 Please reframe from having temper tantrums and using vulgar language. GTA series is a rated M game, but we do have younger audiences that use our forums. You have three willing members that have replied to your support giving you advice. The best advice I can give you is using the search function many of these common errors have been done before due to not installing / setting up correctly. It is not uncommon that the error that shows up on your pc hasn't been discussed before on this forum, and if you still can't find a answer then please don't hesitate to post on the support forum.
