Houston, we have a problem.
We had planned to release LSPDFR 0.2 tonight, although for a number of reasons outwith our control, this unfortunately won't be possible.
In the latest update for GTA V, Ill Gotten Gains Part 2, Rockstar Games strengthened their protections against modding introduced in the first update. Included in this was a whopping 3 MB of junk code designed to confuse modders. Instead of the native functions of the game being accessible directly - we now have to jump through 4 or 5 hoops each time, as the game also implements live decryption and obfuscation methods. This severely impacts performance, resulting in gameplay at 3 frames per second - even on some of the strongest PC systems available today.
As such, we're going to need some more time to figure out the best way to proceed. Hopefully you can understand that none of this was a problem before Wednesday's update, and performance issues aren't related only to LSPDFR, but also to every other GTA V script modification. The difference with LSPDFR, though, is that it includes very detailed artificial intelligence that other mods (trainers, etc.) do not. This means that the efforts by Rockstar to prevent modding disproportionately affect us.
In other news, our website is also experiencing unrelated technical problems, which we at least hope can be fixed soon.
We hope you can understand the situation we're in.
