[EM4] Los Angeles Mod bugs, issues and problems

[Guest LVFR]

I have downloaded patch 2 and now the case command is disabled. How do I turn it back on?

[Guest lapd_metro]

In Hi-Jack mission(original), I can't use GetPSG1 and Negotiator doesn't have 'Enter house' command.

Seems the problem with ambulances getting stuck in the hospital parking lot is fixed. Plus the traffic problems have been reduced. The redirected vehicles are a problem though as they ignore the redirect command once redirected.

I love v1.9. The patches have made the game run with much less problems. However, my game crashes out to the desktop all the time. Sometimes it's within a minute or two of playing (most common), or more recently (the last time I was playing) after about 5 minutes. Any ideas why it might do this and what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

i havn't had a crash in quite awhile, even during normal. Most crashes went away before i ever installed LA Mod when I changed the game shortcut in Vista to launch in XP SP2 Compatibility mode, which seemed to make it more stable. Any crashes I have now are usually self initiated script errors ;D

I wasnt aware there was a problem with the ambulances, but since switching to patch 2, my BLS got stuck once in the hospital parking lot.

This has nothing to do with the LA Mod more then likley. Go read the FAQ section.

[Guest WannabeMedic195]

Thanks for the prompt responses. I've been playing the LA Mod since 1.7 i think, and have never had the crashing problem. I'll post back with my findings. Thanks again!

Sometimes Engine 7 parks crooked in station 2 taking up its bay and the BLS bay.

So far its been a one off experience but my I had 2 engines, tiller, and bc all return to the station. The tiller went to its bay through the front rather then the back. This caused it to park with the cab facing backwards and the trailer on top of the cab. The engines pulled up and stopped in front of the station. 1 of the engines parked crooked in front of the ALS and BLS Engine bays and then the staff hopped of and ran inside. The other engine just stopped out front but the crew did not exit. Clicking the return to station button again got the engines to enter the bays through the rear as they should.

And the tiller trailer lights are on when the game starts if its set to spawn in station 1. Not a big deal but just throwing that out there.

If your not to busy could you also take a look at this:

Shouldnt take an expert but 5 seconds to figure out.

In the hostage situations there is no hostages, just the suspect pointing the gun at no one.

[Guest MGC|Uthog]

Well the AI isnt smart:P

But if there are no hostages makes it easier for you to take the suspect out.

Patch 2 should fix both of these problems. Look in the first post of this topic for more information.

Hey Hoppah and his team

I download patch 2 for LA mod but several cars don't move on the map (by FS1 is a yellow cap that don't move)

Or only I have it??

Cops

This isn't so much a bug as it is an issue.

I used the chase command on a suspect who was running. It would appear that he was apprehended right at the edge of the map, which you can't actually view. Because of this I lost one officer and suspect, yet the suspect icon was still displaying on the mini-map.

I doubt this is something that can be fixed, as it's a pretty unique situation, but I thought I might as well bring it up!

Hummmmm, do you have the cam hack? that may help in a situation like that.

I am on Patch 2 and Engine 7 still parks crooked in Station 2. Sorry forgot to mention I was using patch 2.

Im running windows Vista

[Guest MGC|Uthog]

Well you can try to run the game in compatable mode windows XP.

[Tactics]

I'm not sure why this always happens to me, and nobody else. I still get traffic jams on the west side of the map - Vehicles exiting the map over the bridge just seem to stop...and not exit. Is there a tutorial for making traffic lights? Maybe I can add some for myself only to break things up.

I too have this problem. I'm running Windows Vista. version 1.8 worked fine with no problems. I tried reinstalling the mod v1.9 and patch 2, tried the configuration file (it only made it crash faster). I have no idea why there is a problem all of a sudden. Please help! I just want it to stop crashing!

I have the problem on the bridge Their is a big yellow bus that gets stuck when exiting,before i could select it and make it move to HQ I can't now and the ambulances get stuck in the parking lot so far thats the only problems since patch 2 Thanks.

[Xplorer4x4]

For those with crashes, have you tried the FAQ?

There is a tut for stop lights, but i forget where it is. Try the em4 modding and mod help section.

Hoppah: I think this has been reported but there is a traffic accident about one block west of the intersection by the tunnel. Almost as soon as the dispatcher announces it, the vehicles blow up, and it cost me a cop car once because an LASD cruiser was patrolling through the intersection at that exact time.

[spunkyskier01]

Hi, First post. I also have the problem of the fire chief vehicle parking in engine 7's spot every time. I will get a screen shot for you if you would like. Another problem I have encountered is when i use the chase command with the unmarked police car, it never actually stops and has the police officers get out, it just drives around the car. Besides that the game is amazing, and the work you have done is greatly appreciated.

p.s. I am using emergency 911 first responders, and i have both patches.

[Guest policefreak]

the mod is great hoppah except some vehicles don't respond to directional lights on police cars

In reply to that,I did try it,However the game will not load under,Compatibility Windows XP service pack 2.,I let the Pc sit there for 10 mins,and it didnt do anything but sit at a black screen,Had to bring up the task bar to exit.I tried to run just the Emergency 4 EXE. under windows xp service pack 2,but the same thing happen,black screen...Im alittle confused with it,I downloaded the same version on my Desktop(win,XP) works fine,but my laptop with Vista has the Crash to desktop.Maybe its Vista blocking it after 10 mins...Hope someone knows a trick,I come up with anything i'll post about it.
