Random crashes when loading new game and/or SMPA60 error

[ASpiffingBrit 0]

OK, so I can play LCPDFR. I have it installed. I have a British police officer mod (DDoppler) and MET Police Siren mod (DDoppler). These work fine; however, I download the Ultimate Met Police Pack (DDoppler) and replace the files using SparkIV as usual. However, I discovered that after about 10 minutes the game would come up with the SMPA60 error. So I switched to the Los Angeles Police Department which works fine so far, but when I load a new game it crashes.

 

Plus, I am trying to do Elizabetha's 2nd to last mission, The Snow Storm, but every time I try to get away, about 1 minute in it crashes. Please, help!

Firstly, consider using OpenIV instead of SparkIV. 

Playing missions with car mods installed with cause crashes often. Especially in cutscenes.

What are your computer specs?

As I said, crashes will be more prominent in missions. 

 

At which point does it crash when loading? Because if you are loading a save, it's most probably corrupted.

Any way to fix a corrupted save?

Yes, you delete it from here:

...delete it? Won't that kind of mean I have to start again?

It sure does. There is no way to fix a corrupted save other than removing it. Make a backup of it in case it's not corrupted, because you can't find out if it's corrupted without removing it.

I had this problem a lot. Just search through the forums and there's a lot of threads on this problem. Make sure you don't save any police cars at your safe house also

I had the error once, turned out I downloaded a bad car, try restore old car and try again.
