What exactly is your problem? Can you not start LCPDFR with Alt+P? Will gta not launch? The diagnostic tool logfile thing seems to happen to me as well, Its not necessary because your game will drop LCPDFR.log after your game closes (if you launched the script.) Make sure your diagnostic tools path is set to the correct .ini (for me it automatic went to EFLC, I had to use advanced mode and set it manually.) Did you use the autoinstaller or manual? Every folder/file goes in the MAIN directory BESIDES LCPDFR loader.net.dll (which should be in your scripts.) LCPDFR folder and all the others/files should be in your main. Make sure theres an lcpdfr folder in PC, and post a screenshot of your LCPDFR folder in your main directory (the contents inside.) can you launch the game at all? or are you just asking if its set up correctly before you try.

This happens to me as well...I don't know why, but when i die I usually crash right away as well... all I can really say is try not to die, I usually stay back and let the AI do the work until i move in for arrest or the kill.

I +1 this, somebody should make an open script for it (public), I would gladly test with it, sounds interesting and useful.

In the lcpdfr.ini I see theres a way to change what weapons are in the trunk of your car (When you hit E on it), except i dont know what the names of the weapons are in terms of putting them in the INI...for example, the default is Shotgun_Barreta, what would i change it to if I wanted an M4, or an M4 and a shotgun? (I usually play as an FIB agent, so I need heavy weaponry and I hate to keep relying on cheats every time.) So is there a list of weapon filenames or weapon names, or atleast for the m4? Thanks. My bad for not looking around first >.>...found it in the user manual, Sorry :>

Oh well =/ I'll just keep trying the alt tab thing for now, that seems to get it to play, if not I can deal with text only mode until I get my new computer I guess...atleast it works without crashing. well, thanks anyways. As for installing on a different drive, probably not gonna happen and not really worth trying, I'll just wait until I get my better desktop...maybe it will work on a new machine, GTA seems to like some and not like some computers so its worth a try.

EDIT: Now when I try, I checked the INGAME console and got an error saying the file cannot be found - GetAudioFileForAction - No file found for TULSA_ST. Only one in there it seems, after I called for backup near the first safehouse. I also found a TEMPORARY solution, If I alt tab out of the game and tab back in it seems to fix it...oddly enough. The only bad part about that is, theres a small success rate. Usually the game will either freeze or crash but its temporary for now Any idea on what could be causing this?

The audio files play fine when opened manually. I checked permissions, and read only (I cant uncheck read only, it just re-checks itself afterwards). as for administrative stuff, yeah all the permissions are set and its only as of recently...about 3 or 4 months ago it worked fine now all the sudden after updating to 1.0b is when the sound stopped. EDIT: Actually, turns out all the folders in LCPDFR were unchecked for full control...I cant check users and ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES to Full Control, It wont let me... Gotta mess around with this, Im really not sure why its not letting me, I'm the highest administrator on the machine.

Ugh. I still need support Reinstalled and STILL no damn sound, no handcuff sound, no taser sound, no dispatch. Can I get any help from the dev team here? Or somebody thats experienced the problem and fixed it?

Really?...damn. I just reinstalled an hour ago... Well, if worse comes to worse I'll back up my scripts and vehicles.img... I'm reinstlling regardless then, but if any other suggestions pop up post them because its not a guaranteed fix. I'll mark as solved if it works.

It seems to have crashed me but only once so far, It's pretty annoying having everything silent on dispatch's end. Doesnt anybody know whats wrong? Please?

Well, I got my game working (finally), after two fresh re-installs it turns out it was one of my car mods causing crashing.. Now the only problem left is the sound, whenever I call for backup Dispatch has the text in the top right but doesnt say anything over the radio. My character/cop does request it in voice, but dispatch never says anything. I've tried unchecking read only on all the folders, audio folder is there and the .wav's or mp3's are present, I really cant imagine whats causing it. Text-only mode is off in the.ini as well, so its not that. Any suggestions? I found something interesting in the end of lcpdfr.log regarding the audio files that arent playing, Its a warning.

Welp. Its not ELS Its not the custom cars. I tried with default cars, and no els whatsoever...Still crashing. Ive tried with PreLoadAllModels on AND off, Nothing once again still crashing. Well, I've come to an ultimate desicsion to just wait until I get my new computer soon. I should have it within 2-3 months, and I'll be able to run the game better anyways...theres the fact that GTA 4 is a bad port from console, so crashing is ALWAYS a thing. its different on each machine. I'll start playing again once I get my good gaming computer, and off this crappy laptop. Thanks for your help anyways.

1.0b is the only thing I installed so yeah that should be it. ---------------- Haha...true, just a little too frequent sometimes. as for car mods, It worked a while ago. suddenly it doesnt, ELS does seem to be buggy in some instances but I don't know...I cant play this game with default cars and lights, call me needy or picky but It's just too ugly or "vanilla/default" for me. I'm trying the normal vehicles.img now, If it works then....well, I don't know what to do. I guess I'll just keep police and police2 modded for backup, and either not use prisoner trasnport or...Idk. I'll edit this post with the results, I hope it works.

Did the preloadallmodels and station mod is Off. Handcuff sounds arent a major problem so thats fine. Yeah you see, It's hard to ignore the foot pursuits because every corner I turn theres a wreckless cop with his lights and sirens blazing chasing someone on foot...if it wasnt so frequent I wouldnt care, I really dont see why it happens so often. I do have vehicle mods, never said I didnt and I don't plan on getting rid of them...This game isnt fun without ELS or custom cars, however I can try taking off the prisoner transport model only and if I dont crash, obviously thats what it was... Is 1.0b only an apply hotfix? the only download I see is 1.0b, I did the manual install (1.0b Manual Install)...Am I supposed to install something else too or no? Narrowing down - Foot pursuits are too often and there has got to be a way to shorten them, Its far too frequent to be normal, I'm talking EVERY. 10. seconds. or everytime one ends. 1.0b is the only download for me, I downloaded and manually installed it...I'll mess around with the custom cars and get back on that.

Welp...fixed the file path and turned on PreLoadAllModels...and to my surprise, It didnt work -_- I don't hear handcuff sounds Theres a foot pursuit literally every 30 seconds. and calling in backup or prisoner transport crashes me. These are my ONLY issues with LCPDFR and I cant seem to fix them. no body seems to know whats wrong, including the dev team (even though I can understand...theres nothing in the logfiles about it.) somebody has to know what to do? Please? I enjoy this mod a lot but I cant play it with the constant problems, two being major. I'm on the verge of reverting back to 0.95 which works a ton better, but then I miss out on all the great new features, so I don't know what to do here.

In LCPDFR 0.95 there was an option in the .ini file for PreLoadAllModels, this fixed my crashing with custom/els cars issue...now I can no longer do that because the options gone and the .exe tool doesnt work (for me...Whatever settings I use in the exe, they dont apply in the ini or ingame, therefore I cant enable PreLoadAllModels) Is there any workaround for this? I seem to continuiously crash when calling prisoner trasnport or backup. I've tried ELS v6.1 and v5, I can't use V7 because the AI don't turn off their lights after a scene, and personally i think v5 and 6 are more stable, I still cant call in backup however. Please help? is there ANY way at all to enable PreLoadingModels, or a workaround fix for this crash? ***EDIT***: I found the problem, sort of. The diaognostics tool is set to my EFLC (in my steam folder) and NOT my GTAIV which I've extracted to my desktop, How do I change the location? that should fix the problem. Thanks.

Understandable, Thanks anyways. I re-installed GTA IV and I'm going to test it with very minor modding at all. since that doesnt disable foot chases and such IS there a way to disable them? Because for me at least, they seem to happen VERY frequently (If I join into one, 30 seconds later another spawns in nearby.) Is there any kind of multiplier for it? Thanks.

1.0b Is the newest version of LCPDFR 1.0, Its a hotfix for it, it comes with LCPDFR and thats all you need to download, there is no 1.0 and 1.0b, its just 1.0b as of now due to the hotfix. Also, you just posted your thread, don't be impatient not everybody can drop what they're doing to come help you with a simple problem because you bumped

So i recently installed the newest hotfix (1.0b), and found some problems still persisting... I cannot call in for backup, it simply crashes my game after a minute or two (They dont even show up on the map, note im using ELS 6.1 because I personally like it better than 7 due to the fact its more stable and the cops can automatically turn off their lights.) Performing tasks like pulling someone over sometimes will crash me, when I go to the window...same thing with arresting, for example I had somebody run away while handcuffed and once i caught up and called in Prisoner Transport i crashed. I do have a private modpack installed from a clan a long time ago, it includes a ton of custom skins and cars, the only thing I'm thinking to try is reset the original Compontentpeds.img and vehicles.img. I can deal with default cops but I'm not getting rid of the cars, unless I can find more ELS ones. Its pretty much what happened when I first got LCPDFR 1.0, almost everything crashes me. the second major problem is the .ini file for lcpdfr is useless, along with the exe to configure it...sadly it does nothing for me, I tried to set it so PreLoadAllModels was on, and so Ambient/random events were off (I set max to 0), in the ini file and it didnt work. theres still random events which happen way too often regardless of my settings (Police foot pursuits). Is there anything I'm doing wrong? I've attatched as many log files as I have, as well as my GTA 4 folder showing whats installed, i used manual install and I'm pretty sure i did it correctly. Any suggestions?

Quad core is acceptable and the 4.0+ Ghz is a plus, more ram would of been helpful...and extra cooling doesnt hurt, overheating can cause FPS drop. I think 500W should be enough for power, try upgrading if not, GPU i have no clue. I would of personally gotten a GTX with 2GB+ Video Memory, i see you have 2gb (Good). Keep in mind, GTA 4 is a VERY demanding game. even comupters that go way over the recomended specs still lag, its because rockstar did a shitty port from console. The game wasnt coded specifically on PC, so its poorly optimized to run. So unless your running a $3000+ computer, or pick your parts wisely you cant really play the game on max settings without A. Texture loss. B>FPS below 35 or 40. High poly cars can cause the lag but mostly texture loss/texture problems. With a 2GB card that shouldnt be any problem... like I said, the game isnt designed to run well with PC's along with FPS drop and constant crashing on some machines. You need a very good computer to be able to run it on maxed out settings, unless you take precatuions with commandlines, or upgrade some parts...the only person I know who runs it maxed has a good 4.5k+ Computer with tons of liquid cooling and fans. obviously thats not necessary so Overall suggestion(s): one-up your current GPU; Power supply and/or processor. Get liquid cooling or more case fans and such, keeping your computer at minimal temperature helps. Or; dont play on max settings, unless you have no mods at all which may increase FPS. Don't use ENB's or graphic enhancers unless your sure you can run the game on highest settings without issue, once again for VERY high-spec computers.

Fixed the taser, now its just the random event thing as stated.

Anything?

After installing the LCPDFR 1.0a (Hotfix), I noticed the taser no longer works. It worked before and Alt T, T. double tabbing T, none work at all for the taser...I'm going to try re-installing it (in the data folder, the .dat files and such) and see if that works. The problem: It seems (And this was before the hotfix as well) every time i FINISH a pursuit, whether it be on FOOT or in a car, as soon as the pursuit ends and the suspect is arrested...another one starts. litteraly RIGHT after I get the guy in my car, another one starts right infront of me, making all nearby cops start chasing him and dispatch calling it (Its not a callout by the way, its just one of those randomly spawned world event) I've changed AmbientScenariosMultiplier to 100 to decrease the chance, and even 50 but it seems to still be happening...so now everytime I finish a pursuit, endless more show up right after which is kind of annoying because I don't want to be driving around and seeing cops chase people on foot every corner :P. Thats pretty much it. I'll try turning off the AmbientScenariosMultiplier multiplier altogether changing it to 0 and see what happens, I don't mind no world pursuits/events.

(2 day old thread, Sorry.) Two things that work perfectly for me are (See attachments) Here is the commandline I use, It works great (Might make the game look crappy but gets great FPS). And secondly, a reflections mod and light reducer...The sun wont glare and lights on cars wont have glare, that would usually blind you but that does seem to give a good FPS boost as well. If both of these combined doesnt work, along with lowest settings then you probably cant run the game without lag.

This error isnt related to LCPDFR, It's related to saving your cars and modding them; and ELS/Custom modded cars and police cars. SMPA60 can happen for two reasons; Saving a car at your safehouse, then modding that or another car (moral: Dont save cars if your modding) Or; ELS (Emergency Lighting System) can cause it, and it is indeed an unrecoverable fault. Theres nothing you can really do about it, if it happens too frequently try using custom cars with a low or medium polygon count, if its too high it can cause SMPA60. Make sure you dont have any cars saved at your safehouse and make sure that you dont have too many modded cars, that are being used with ELS. Try to use 2-3 at max depending on your computer, either way the error can always occur. If its unnecessary dont use it, as in with calling backup, try not to spam it. the more ELS being used the more chance of a crash. Not sure if that was a typo, but if you meant 300/300MB than you should probably have more video memory and a better GPU for playing GTA4. 512MB is the minimum, so that could be the problem However if you DID mean 3000 total, then your fine.
