Uh oh disappearing prototypes! If this never happened before, and you updated drivers or something, roll back, or if you didn't, try to update...
Still with disappearing models.. Then try lowering settings, these might help a bit
Does that really happen on the Deluxe map only? It looks like a videodriver problem though. I've never seen that before and there is nothing in the mod what makes vehicles disappear (on purpose). The shadows of the vehicle models are still present so it's definately a problem with the textures of these vehicles only.
I am running on-board video and this was my first time actually running the game for several hours so guess that could be the problem.
I do not play on the regular map since the deluxe version of the map came about but it has never did it. I think you guys are right about the video drivers.
*Note: I did update my drivers before this happened then I did a rollback because it screwed up my video and Nvidia didn't have settings so I could change the resolution.

You should pick up a cheap video card. Sounds like the GPU could be over heating.

Onboard videocards aren't usually that good. What are your pc specs?

Hi guys. I don't know from where came the problem, but i can't use the cheats in 2.0. I think, the problem is coming from the keyboard. Did anyone have this problem?
I don't have that problem I cheat with extra cash.

I'm not sure there is anything that can be done, you can try reinstalling in the mod and the workaround but I'm not sure it will work.
It seems to be fine on some computer and not on others.
Just don't press 'New campaign'.
Someone not me had pressed new campaign on 1.9 version. I deleted everything and reloaded and it all seemed to be working until i upgaded to 2.0. Should i remove everything again???

V2.0 is not an upgrade to v1.9. Just like all other versions it's a rerelease of the whole mod. That's why it's advised to delete all older versions of the mod before installing v2.0.

I've removed and deleted all files.wizard works FR911 and reloaded.. Everything was clear and running fine. I shut down computer for a few hours and now it show V1.8 V1.9 with green wrench and V2.0 is now missing the missions agian. The work around is still not working...Also if i load the game via the V2.0 short cut it shows and lets me use the older mods. But this only happens when i use the the short cut. If i use the mod installer it does not show any other versions of mods and as i said if i use the fr911 short cut i get the green wrench...Anyone with idea pleases help

I have a temporary fix (or should I call it a workaround) for the missing missions bug. Each time one or more missions disappear from the list, just copy the campaignprogress.xml to the mod. For some reason the game alters this file after finishing a certain mission (possibly when it tries to add your score) and it's definately related to the greyed out buttons too.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to install:
1. Download and extract the attachment file.
2. Copy campaignprogress.xml to "\Emergency 4\Mods\Los Angeles Mod v2.0\Save\"
3. Overwrite the old file.
4. Start the game, load the mod and all missions should be be back in the list.
Just copy and replace this file everytime one or more missions disappear. Make sure to exit the game before doing this.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the greyed out buttons after finishing a mission, press Restart, wait until the mission is reloaded and then go back the menu.
For now, this is the only thing I can do.
At least you will be able to play all of the missions this way.

I am playing 911 first responders and have downloaded the mod 2.0 recently and it all works fine until i go to the missions.. the first time i viewed the missions i could see them all perfectly until i got to mission two. the game crashed to my desktop and once i rebooted it the missions were all gone except i could click continue campaign and it would allow me to play the first mission but not any other missions i have tried your workaround with no success.. any advice on what i should do would be greatly appreciated. Also hoppah i seriously suggest talking to a gaming publisher you have made an amazing game and you should be rewarded this game is amazing and i know if you put it on a cd and i saw it in stores i would buy it! Thank you for any assistance any of you may provide me

Oddly I dont have a problem with the campaigns in my customized LA Mod, just the standard LA Mod. The only problem I have is I cant return to the main menu when the missions over. I have to choose repeat and return to the menu manually.

Well I didnt touch any of the mission related scripts. Just freeplay scripts like the firestations scripts, and extra parking scripts. Turns out the missions list is screwed up now, so it looks like it didnt take effect untill i closed the game.
But I cam here to throw some ideas at hoppah that could be beneficial, or atleast I hope so.
Hoppah, Im wondering, in campaign.xml you have the LA Mod missions first. The index numbers for these missions are higher indexed then the other missions.
Also in specs/Campaign_params.xml theres only 20 missions listed. Specs/missioninfos.xml is the same way.

I dont know about anyone else, But while I was playing on free play I went to purchase a vehicle (Mass casualties unit, and several others) And it would not let me.
The purchase vehicle button was grey and blocked out and It wouldnt even let me press it. Im new to this so im not exactly sure whats up.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Since the game is trying to edit the file, would changing the file to "read-only" help, or will the game not recognize it anymore?
By the way, Hoppah, your mod is awesome. I've been playing it for years, and have been following its progress closely, yet I've never actually thanked you...until now. Thank you, Hoppah, for releasing this phenomenal addition to 911 FR, and keep up the good work!

I don't want to change the index numbers, because these are also related to the unit.xml files. I am going see what happens if I change the order of the mission by putting the LA Mod missions after the other missions.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums and I have an issue with the L.A mod, I have 911FR. When playing the L.A mod everything is fine untill after 30 minutes of gameplay, then all of a sudden the game lags really bad
for both freeplay maps, so bad it takes 10 seconds just to get the camera view to turn slightly, is there any way in fixing this?

I realize that, and it would be a pita to edit all the unit files, but it might just work. For the sake of testing though the RAs,main LAPD Vehicles, and main LAFD vehicles are pretty much listed on every single mission so you wouldnt need to change anything for testing purposes and if successful there wouldnt be that much editing left for other units.I don't want to change the index numbers, because these are also related to the unit.xml files. I am going see what happens if I change the order of the mission by putting the LA Mod missions after the other missions.
This isnt LA Mod related. Its your PC. Most likley something over heating.Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums and I have an issue with the L.A mod, I have 911FR. When playing the L.A mod everything is fine until after 30 minutes of gameplay, then all of a sudden the game lags really bad

To dave22644: Did you make sure that your computer has appropriate and or minimum requirements? If so, then try to close out as many programs as possible (Task Manager, Processes, End Process), or just closing out of said program. I know that after like an hour of gameplay, my screen gets a bit laggy but soon returns to normal stage in about 30 seconds. I don't mind it much, because if I scroll along the screen, the game makes itself work harder to maintain steadiness.
One last set of questions:
What type of computer do you run? (XP, Vista, 7, Mac)
What brand? (HP, Dell, Compaq)
What year? (2004, 2009, etc.)
What Graphics Card do you use? (My computer, Hardware Manager, Video; or something like that)
Hope my advice helps?
