Hello,

I have installed a car (BMW X5) and nothing out of the ordinary occurred. I spawn it in game once and it is fine, everything is running smoothly. However if I spawn it a second time, I get a message from snt saying "Unable to spawn selected vehicle, check the model". Then I lose all textures and I am forced to exit the game.

How can I fix this?

 

Many thanks,

Which car is it? Link?

It is a BMW X5, downloaded it a while ago so I do not have the link.

It may happen when the car isn't imported correctly. Be sure to take the right wft & wtd files. Also, make sure to use OpenIV instead of SparkIV.

I have unintstalled it then re-installed it and the same problem occurs. I go to install OpenIV and it doesnt install, this always happens when I try it and that's why I use spark.

Are you running the OpenIV installer as administrator? 

And you are using this version? (http://openiv.com/WebIV/guest.php?get=1)

I had the same problem. Is your vehicles.img over 200mb?

Yeah it's 527mb

Then you seriously need to decrease the amount of polygons on your installed cars. GTA IV can't handle cars with too many polygons.

So do I just need to take out some cars that I have installed to reduce the amount?

Yeah, replace them with the backup vanilla cars or download some other models.

Okay, thanks for your help!
