I had a similar issue except my lights (WARN were too bright and over powered the PRML. What I did and do is keep a number of different "lights" to overlay the textures in OpenIV. Some work better thank others but try to lay a "new" warning light over the lighting texture, I personally use paint.net for any changes because you can save as PNG.

SOOOOOOO GLAD to see 10-15 mins up here pretty often, I thought I was an odd man out since I see youtube videos that are 30 to and hour and a half. I hope its not my computer this is a great mod but its too short if I can only play for a 10 mins and I can get hours and hours out of ARMA 3.

THANKS EVERYONE I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY MODDED!!!!!!

I open SparkIV and route through the menu... pc .... cd images... models... vehicles... and import the car files as I have done in .95 and rebuild... save... close out menu... and save again then go to the game and the default cars are still there. I will try to work in OpenIV and see if I get the same issue. I havent added any mods yet, the cars would be the first since I have been able to play crash free for more than 5 mins. I will be adding ELS 7.0 next but wanted to get the cars situated first.

Does anyone know how to get the cars in 1.0 to mod? I had it down to a simple science when playing .95 by using SparkIV. I have tried the same thing but was unsuccessful in getting the default cars to change, has anyone else had this issue or knows how to get this accomplished?

Thanks!!! you guys are awesome, thanks for the patience and the individual concern.

Ok, looked up the issue and fixed it, it was my saved game when I had moded cars for .95. It crashed again but with no message at all and the logs are below, wanted to pick your brain about what the issue might be. This time i was chasing a suspect, he tried to steal a car to get away and i pulled my gun put it on him and pressed "E". Two AI cops ran up behind me and it froze and crashed back to desktop.

Ok. just did it again. "GTA IV FATAL ERROR: Unrecoverable fault - Please restart the game"

I will try again and look but if I'm not mistaken it says "fatal error restart game"

BUMP, still crashing. I can only wish that I could do call outs and mods peds and vehicles lol. I cant even get through 35 seconds of game play. Below are the most recent logs.

Sam, after restarting my computer I crashed again, it was specifically after I engaged my lights (pressing "G") it crashed a few second later after I turned them on for a second time, below are the logs for this event.

Thanks Sam I will do that and re post the results in this thread!!!!

I have been working on this since last night to get this as "resolved" as possible. *Note as requested I have included all the logs I could find in the root GTA folder*. I have like others downloaded the 1.0.0.0 version from Steam, I have followed the instructions and upgraded to 1.0.7.0, but to no avail. I have absolutely no mods (I have been paying .95 for over a year and I am very familiar with adding and deleting mods to LCPDFR (which I love to play)), however, I am running into a crash very early in the game. I have only been able to get around the corner on my "best" run, just down the road a bit on a regular basis, and not even picking a car on my worse. I seem to have issues when either joining a pursuit, or even activating my lights (no ELS mod). If anyone can check over my logs and let me know if there is anything I can do or if its a common issue so I know to wait for a fix patch that would be great, I'm all about trying to self help before seeking help and I have followed the instructions on the screen before the forum post. If there is no fix I myself can do then I will be playing .95 RC2 until there is information otherwise. Appreciate the help in advance.
