ULTIMATE LSPDFR Installation ( NEARLY ALL SCRIPTS/PLUGINS - Running Without Issue )
160+ Callouts Via Callout Plugins
Nearly All Scripts/Plugins Available From This Site
Photo Realistic Graphics Overhaul w/ NVR
Still a playable and enjoyable FPS
So, i spent a solid 600 hours on GTAIV, and most of it was for LCPDFR. I played it for years on end, and as i watched GTA V's release and beat it on my friends Xbox i patiently awaited its PC release. Sure enough when it came out i waited, and monitored this beloved forum for my favorite mod, coming to it's next title game. I officially bought GTA V and starting playing LSPDFR probably three or so months ago. I have over 300 hours play time already, although a lot was spent troubleshooting obviously. I am kind of a perfectionist and obsessive with the Callout Plugins and Modifications. I want to have it all. But we all know you can't have " it all " and still have game functionality and solid or even playable FPS. Note the method following has been tested by albotroubleshooter with no issues.
What i have done, is spent so many countless hours troubleshooting, reinstalling and trying again..-..but i have nearly mastered it. I refused to play the game with just a few plugins, they loop over and over and replay-ability and enjoyment is limited with the less plugins you have. I refused to give up, and now i have a functional LSPDFR modded GTA V, in which has over 160+ callouts and probably 60+ Plugins and Scripts and callout packs. THE CATCH?! - I DO NOT USE ANY VEHICLE OR WEAPON TEXTURE MODIFICATIONS. That is the main reason my FPS has not almost dipped into unplayable. I constantly see people having issues with playing with a lot of plugins, and merely want to share my experience. If you have a Good/Great gaming rig, there is no reason with the proper installation techniques and patience you can play LSPDFR with every plugin enabled, running at an even higher FPS than my feeble 20-30. I know people say albos mods slow things down, and there are too many compatibility issues to worry about when you surpass 10+ plugins...-..but trust me. It's plausible and doable. If my old crappy AMD rig can run with all these scripts and plugins and callout packs at it's decrepit barely functional blue screening old age, SO CAN YOURS!.
Alas, i have found my own person solution. I have a OLD build, that is half my old parts and half from a friends old PC after he upgraded. Specifications below. I almost exclusively bought and made this thing for LSPDFR, since my old rig could not run it. Specs below, before we delve into the LSPDFR situation. In total this was a 280$ gaming PC, since i was given a lot of good salvage parts from a friend. Goes to show you don't need much to get going in GTA V's LSPDFR.
Gigabye Full Tower Case
Logitech HD Webcam C270
Samsung TV ( NOT monitor - Runs 1330 x 900 Max )
16GB DDR3 memory ( old i know )
1TB Wester Digital Drive (NOT SSD)
Processor - AMD FX 8350 ( 8CORE)
VGA - AMD Radeon R9 200 series ( So old, under $100 now)
Weak, 4-6 year old out of date gaming rig , right?. Hell i do not even have a monitor with 1920x1080 output. Yet you are going to be baffled how i somehow get a playable 30+ FPS or higher with the insane amount of plugins and scripts i have. I personally believe the key to my weak system being able to handle even this intense of a load of plugins is primarily because i use NO weapon or Vehicle texture replacements. My only changes are through RAGE scripts and plugins alone. A few Open IV package installers aside from that. Also have NVM and still somehow manage to keep all these plugins going at once with minimal rare crashes. Below you will see the following in order.
