Make sure you're standing totally still, you can't be moving around....

Thanks for the tip.... Where exactly should I be adding this code? I'll give it a try with the graphics too. I mean, I literally play everything on Very High/Ultra with absolutely no problem, it's nuts to think this rig couldn't handle something like GTA4 and even just a couple mods. So I've scrapped everything in hopes that I can "fine tune" it as you say so I have a nice balance of stuff that I can do with LCPDFR and also be able to play with others. There's really only so much fun to be had playing with yourself (hehehe) I'd rather play with others....

I've done a total vanilla reinstall, only have LCPDFR 1.0 going with the hotfix. No ELS, no extra scripts, no imported cars, no imported skins. I've got a 2GB GeForce 650TI, a i7 3770K, and 16GB of RAM. I have my settings on medium and still crash VERY frequently. Definitely not my machine so I'm thinking it's something in LCPDFR just not playing nicely with something. I'll likely revert back to the more stable version so I'm able to play online with people though.

Always looking for players.....I'm not currently using any mods, just vanilla LCPDFR 1.0 to avoid crashing and conflicts. If you've also got vanilla, add me up and invite if you see me on! GFWL=Cainsmoker

Pretty sure that I have everything off, though I'll triple check to ensure. I think that I may delete the whole thing and reinstall from completely fresh. That's the only thing I haven't done yet.

Hey there, Unfortunately the same thing is happening. I can play for a little while longer with no car mods or police helper but it still crashes regardless. [ERROR - 11:12:34 AM] [Main] CRITICAL ERROR DURING MAINLOOP! REPORT THIS ISSUE AT LCPDFR.COM BY INCLUDING THIS LOGFILE. [ERROR - 11:12:34 AM] [] GTA.NonExistingObjectException: Invalid call to an object that doesn't exist anymore! at GTA.Vehicle.get_Position() at freval_284.eval_fr24() at freval_101.eval_1.eval_fr0(Object[] A_0) at LCPD_First_Response.Engine.Timers.DelayedCaller.fr0() at LCPD_First_Response.Engine.Main.fr2() I've run a file validation through steam and made sure that there wasn't any modded police skins or anything out of the ordinary. No car mods and stock everything....I'm completely lost on what's going on. -Cain

I'm trying to figure out what it might be.... There are times when it will literally just spit me right out into a "GTAIV has stopped working" screen, forcing me to task manager out of it entirely. I've taken almost all of the extra scripts out that I was using, and only have a modded car on this 1.0 version. Do you recommend wiping the whole thing out, starting from the very beginning and just putting in LCPDFR 1.0 and nothing else? At this point I just want to get it as operational as I've seen other people's working just fine with no crashes to speak of. It's definitely not a hardware issue, this PC is waaay overspec'd for GTA. I'll take any advice you can offer on the situation. -Cain

It looks like I'm not the only one. I suspect it's because I'm using other mods in addition to LCPDFR and hear that 3rd party mods aren't directly supported by LCPDFR. So my question is to all the first response players that experience no crashing and are able to join/play in multiplayer matches with other FR players is: Is there a way to be able to use ONE car mod with ELS and be able to keep the police helper (I love the bait car!) or does everything need to be scrapped? I'm so tired of crashing after only a few minutes and it's problematic to not be able to play multiplayer with friends I've turned onto the game. I'm completely up to date on drivers and all my framework stuff as was recommended in other posts. I've done the manual install of 1.0 and only chosen the dsound and deleted the other folder. Pretty much everything checks out as far as what I should have. So. Do I completely remove my entire GTA4 folder and go vanilla only using the LCPDFR 1.0 and nothing in addition? No sexy cars? No independent lighting controls? No extra goodies at all? What works best for you guys? Thank you for your help ahead of time. -Cain Edit: Something may have escaped me but I'm not sure where. I looked at the log file after removing the 3rd party addons and got a couple of errors, looks like audio stuff. Could that be what's shutting it down for me?

I'll give it a try and report back. I figured it would likely just be something that I'd just have to tweak until I got right. You guys have all been doing this stuff for ages and I've officially got about 5 days of experience so I figured that someone out there had gotten it perfected. Thanks to everyone for helping a newb! :-)

Savior, mad props to you for trying so hard to help. Already clicked all the links I could find.... The handling does work when I modify it but I'm having trouble finding the best pairing. Should I piecemeal different transmissions, wheel tractions, body masses from different things or try to keep it all in one string? I'm using the concept Ford interceptor stealth in my nstockade slot, and the police lambo gallardo for my pstockade slot. I've tried taking lines from just the basic police for the Ford and like the turismo for the lambo, but the drift is still wrong. I was more just inquiring if perhaps anyone had a good line they're already using and could post it for me to trial and error.

Sorry, I should have clarified. I know how to edit the line, but I'm looking for a proper line to use for the pstockade and nstockade because regardless of what I put in and save, the handling still isn't quite right and the nstockade especially tips very easily around corners which doesn't make sense since I'm only editing the stockade file (which all 3 use, right?) I'll figure it out though, no biggie. I just thought someone might have had one handy to test out. :-)

Thanks man. I went to a lot of those links already and some of the cars I have don't come with handling lines. I found a tidbit about renaming the filepack, so I'll give it a try. Otherwise, is there a better line to use for the stockade? I don't really want to use a car line since the variables don't match up (the stockade line is shorter than other vehicles) I'll keep trying!

Hey guys, At the suggestion of someone on here to make my game more stable, I decided to only put modded cars into the fbi, noose, polpatriot, and N/P stockade. So far everything is golden except the damn stockade... I can't seem to find the best middle ground for handling. My car usually flips over at high speeds and I've tried to search for a good handling line to no avail. The truck sounds don't really bug me, I just want to have those lines set properly. Thanks for any help!

Good call on that. I also noticed more crashing when dealing with the tow truck mod for some reason. Weird. Would there be anything in a script that would prevent me from doing trunk searches? That feature disappeared for me for whatever reason... He just stands there and doesn't do anything. Also, I've seen videos of searches taking place in the passenger side as well as the trunk, any idea how to do this? And one more question for good measure: what handling line do you use for your nstockade?

That's waaaaaay over my head for right now. I just started getting into this like literally yesterday, so all this messing with scripts and modding files is like Greek to me. I apologize for my ignorance! There isn't an option for me for police3, 4 and b slots in gta 4 (unless I'm just looking in the wrong spot) and spark doesn't let you add new file names, only change existing ones. Any ideas or am I just SOL until I get eflc?

If not, I'm sorry...please move it where it belongs :) I just started messing around with this and it's FREAKIN' AWESOME. Really awesome. I just wish that I could find some peeps to play with on a regular basis. So on to my question: I have some police car mods that I like to use but in using SparkIV for GTA4 it only gives me the 2 police slots and the fbi slot. I read that putting a modded car into the noose somehow makes the game more unstable and crash, so I left that alone. So can I just rename the police car files to regular car files so I can use them or is this not recommended? I know that the EFLC allows more options for this but I have seen a lot of videos from just GTA that people scroll through quite a few cars... Are they using save slots, or how exactly does that work? Thanks ahead of time guys. And hit me up on Live, eh? I'd love to roll with a team!

So I should be able to go right in and not have to do any additional stuff? My GTA is the complete, left side screen is gta 4 and the right is eflc. Pleeeease don't tell me I gotta move all my scripts into yet another folder. I'm slowly getting acclimated to how this all works but don't want any curve balls like I've read about. Ah well, I guess if I have to reinstall I will. Thanks for your help, guys. I'd love to kick it on patrol with you!

Thanks for getting back with me. I'll have to see what exactly it is when I get back in front of it, but I read somewhere and have a sneaking suspicion that it may be because I had a modded car saved in the noose spot. I may just import the original img for vehicles and try again. It most def isn't my system though, it can handle anything I can throw at it and beg for more. Should I be using EFLC so I'm able to use police3 and so on? I'd like to have a couple of options for cars as the situation dictates but I'm not sure how to go about using car slots and the like.... I know. Total newb. :-)

Hi all! Just started playing LCPDFR last night and just have to say how awesome it is and what a stellar community of talented modders reside here. I've had a lot of fun checking things out and experiencing a different side to a game I already loved! My question is this: I've pretty much got a handle on importing cars via spark but I seem to get a script error with the (I think its called) EVCS beta script. I have the newest version of the policing script as well and the ELS script. Which scripts should I be running and is there any script out there that is sort of an "all encompassing" kind of deal? I can play for an hour or so but notice I get a fatal error that kicks me out and I think its due to some car mod incompatibility but I'm not sure which ones. Can anyone tell me what I should be using for the maximum experience while still being stable? Also, are there any keys available for mods like the policing script? I can't for the life of me give breathalyzers and since putting in another script can not call for transport or back up when I've arrested someone. Thanks and I'd love to roll with any of you out there, add me up on live. Cainsmoker is my name.
