The Catooners

Hello folks. I have been installing GTA IV Complete edition, then downgrading to 1.0.7.0 which is the most stable version to play GTA IV w/ LCPDFR and indeed it is as long as you play it in singleplayer. I have seen tons & tons of people out there playing online for several minutes if not hours without encountering a single crash. Don't get me wrong, I know people can edit videos so it seems fluid but I watched people who barely edit their vids and they can play for at least an hour long without a single crash. On my end, I tried playing online with a friend and the game would crash when I would call for back up, medical team, air unit, prisoner transport or anything related to AI interferring. I wonder if I should try on 1.0.8.0 or if I am missing on something major here. Note that I play GTA IV Complete Edition w/ downgrader with no additional mods besides LCPDFR and there are no OpenIV modifications. I keep it Vanilla style for now. Anyway, thanks for your time and I hope I will get a reply soon!
