You should post your AdvancedHookInit.log and LCPDFR.log; but I'd bet you're getting the "freval_77" error, which is a known bug. Try removing some high-poly vehicles and disabling ELS on your police-police4 cars (if those slots are modded). You could also try replacing your current scripthook.net file with the one provided in the manual LCPDFR install zip file. See if that helps. DrDetroit

It's never, ever, pointless to make a decent mod. This one sounds decent. Good luck! DrDetroit

Nice skins! Would be cool if you could make those with Liberty City instead of Nebraska. I like to try and keep the continuity of my cars, skins and peds. Either way, they look really nice. Good job! DrDetroit

The bullet proof vest is also in the trunk of your cruiser, along with shotgun and ammo. With Hardcore Mode, Sharp is right, you have to be very careful and don't just run into a scene blindly, you'll be dispatched quickly. You get hit once, you're gonna be in trouble. Hope you're partner is close by, he will save your azz. DrDetroit

When you activate LCPDFR (LAlt + P), go to a police station to start your shift. Once on patrol, you target the ped and hold the target lock. While ped is still targeted, press E to arrest, or hold E until submenus pop up where you can frisk, detain, check ID, ect. Don't target ped then release the target lock or you'll start the process over. Although, once you target the ped you want to interact with, you should be prompted to press E or hold E. If you don't see that message, there may be an issue with your install or you simply haven't gone to the police station to start your shift as a cop. DrDetroit

I hear ya, it's frustrating for sure. Even if that were the case for me, which it was until I tweak some things to get it to work properly, I wouldn't come onto this site to bitch about how I'm giving up LCPDFR and would suggest everybody else does the same. Seems, well, childish. Just don't play it then, and revert back to .95 without all the bitching and moaning. If for nothing else but out of respect for the developers themselves. DrDetroit

My partner has always been able to dispatch the driver when that happens to me, which is only three-four times. I play "hardcore" mode, and I've been able to survive easily with my bullet proof vest and my partner, when I get ambushed...so far. EDIT: I was just thinking how much more useful the partner is now with 1.0. He has saved my butt more than once. DrDetroit

Man, some people! Complain about something that is giving to them for free, that took a lot of time effort and probably a little stress to boot. Not to mention it's the greatest mod ever conceived and executed. Ungrateful, pre-pubescent turds if you ask me. Just like you see at gtaforums, bitching and moaning like little kids. DrDetroit

The one in the manual install zip. Same with xlive. My game is still running very well. I'm about to jump on and see if I can get through an 1-1.5hrs or so (8-10 hour shift, ingame time) without it crashing. Good luck! DrDetroit

I only experience texture loss if I'm running too many high-poly police cars, whether els or not. Especially in the police-police4 slots, those spawn all the time, so can cause major texture loss. DrDetroit

I've somehow fixed my crashing issues (EFLC), when arresting peds during a traffic stop and issues escorting the peds, which was crashing my game every 5-10 minutes (freval_77 error). I have had no crashes from that action any longer, only sometimes when I try to escort a ped. Unfortunately I'm not certain what exactly fixed the crashing issue. Here is what I did just prior to running the game with nearly zero crashing at this point: When I installed the game, I did an automatic install, but I decided to look through the manual install zip to see what files I was missing. Nothing missing, but I did manually replace my current scripthook and xliveless file with the ones included in the manual install zip. I also deleted a second xlive that was in my main game folder (slightly different file name than xlive...I deleted it so not sure exactly..I think it was xlive_d or something). I also reverted police1-police4 with lower poly cars models (less than 1meg files), non-els, although I still run ELS on my noose, patriot and fbi AND reverted my main cop peds (the LCPD cops...not my State Troopers, which are still modded up). After all that, I stated the game and played for over 1.5hrs...arresting peds from traffic stops with no problem, escorting them a few times with no issues, no issues with call-outs, etc. Game never crashed, I ended my shift and went home. Just played another hour or so without crashing at all. So for what it's worth, try swapping the scripthook and xlive, and drop in some lower poly non-els cars and see how it goes. Good day and Happy New Years! DrDetroit

Happy New Year buddy! I would start out using Abraxas VdhPolice Helper, tow service, coroner mod, ELSv7, cruise control mod (called speed limiter) and Braveheart policing script. Those will add to the game play and I believe all can be found on this site. I also use PSS Radar for catching speeders and a few other mods for in-game time (slows down the game clock to about 8-9 seconds per game minute, instead of 3 seconds per game minute. This way an 8-hour shift is about 1-hour game play..roughly). Few other time-cycle mods, but no ENB for me until I pickup my new gaming rig in a few weeks. As for car mods, too many to list. Just look around for what you like. One thing though; install one mod at a time, then play the game for a bit. You'll be able to determine if the mod works for you without causing issue. This goes for car mods, gameplay mods, what have you. If you install 5-6 mods at once, and it porks your game install, you'll never be able to figure out which one is causing problems. So key point is to take your time and do each mod one-by-one. Good luck and have fun! DrDetroit

Wow...can't beat that deal! I paid $19.99. DrDetroit

Had the same problem. I reverted the ped.ide and pedvariations back to my "modded" version and all is well again. I did this in the TBOT and EFLC common/data folders. Good luck, DrDetroit

No lag on my PS3 with GTAV. Maybe your HD is going bad. DrDetroit

Yes, like ineseri said, LCPDFR does work with Steam version, that's what I run. DrDetroit

Try the in-game tutorial, it is helpful the first time. Basically you have to hold down the E in order to bring up sub-menus to check ID, frisk, etc. Press E once to arrest. Press the Caps Lock for another in-game menu, for ambulance, backup, ect. There is a manual and key chart so you don't have to guess. DrDetroit

You can also try and pull them out of the car, like you're stealing it, then arrest. That seems to have helps a bit. I'll def try the G key next sesh. DrDetroit

I aim at ped with firearm and hit ALT+F I think, my cop yells "get the hell outta of car!!", the ped jumps out and the LCPDFR message pops up to press E to stop ped (something to that effect). I hit E and Boom...game crashes. I don't think I get that error when normal foot chase/arrest, for the most part...seems to mainly be vehicle stops. DrDetroit

You gotta post your LCPDFR.log and AdvancedHookInit.log. Post what's inside the logs, not a screen of the unopened log files. DrDetroit

I think I narrowed down my crashes to the same action as well. When I arrest a ped after a traffic stop. My error log (LCPDFR.log) has the "System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type 'freval_77' to type 'freval_89'" error, which is listed in the Support Update thread as "known bug" and being worked on. You should post your LCPDFR.log and AdvancedHookInit.log here, so peeps can see what your errors are. DrDetroit

Yea, already really nice skins by NUTT. Mostly for BxBuggs models. You can look up his profile, then go to the files tab on the left side. Here ya go: http://www.lcpdfr.com/user/16084-nutt/ DrDetroit

OK, I'll check it out, DrDetroit

Bump^

Game seem to be crashing while arresting peds. In particular when holding the E key in order to check ID. Happened twice in a row; first time I figured it happened due to prisoner transport request, but at same time transport arrived I started holding E to enter menu to check ID and game crashed (2-peds arrested). Second crash (logs below); pulled over car, had peds get out of car (3-peds in 4dr sedan), held down E for sub menu and game crashed. Seems it's not the transport request crashing my game, which was my initial thought, but instead, it must be something with the arrest function itself. Tomorrow I'll try and just arrest a few peds, not holding E for the search/arrest sub-menu, and see if I still crash.
