Crashing consistently to desktop

[Wilbon 26]

Alright, so first, I had been playing with LCPD:FR and my assortment of NYPD mods w/ els v7, it crashed pretty infrequently. Then I installed vdh tow, coroner, and helper mods. That crashed a little more often and usually signed that lcpdfr would crash a little later, then a little later the game would crash. Still, not all that frequent, maybe every 20-30 minutes? I install a simple fuel script and indicator script, both of which made no changes in performance. Everything was going fine.

Minimal Crashing with:

- LCPD: FR

- NYPD Crown Vic, Charger, Tahoe, Bearcat

- NYPD ESU Ped

- VDH Police Helper, Tow, METT/Coroner

- Trainer

- Fuel Script

- Indicator Script

- ELS v7

 

I decided I wanted to change a few things so I installed some LCPD detective ped, a 2013 charger mod, and ELS v8. Now I crash usually within 5 minutes of getting loaded into the game.

 

At first I was using both the ped and the charger. Crashed. Then a normal LCPD skin w/ the charger. Crashed. Then the ped w/ my nypd cruiser (that is usually fine). Crashed. And then finally I did LCPD default ped + NYPD cruiser, and it still crashed within 5 minutes. Now, I'm worried it might be ELS v8.

 

Crashing every 5 minutes with (in addition to the mods who had minimal crashing):

- ELS v8

- 2013 Dodge Charger

- LCPD Detective Ped

Win8 64bit

Intel i7-3632QM CPU @ 2.20GHz

8gb RAM

Nvidia GeForce GT 650M

 

The crash is always "GTA IV has stopped working...." and then a close program option. Never any other errors or popups.

 

My worry is that the problem lies in ELS v8. I've seen Buggs use this exact charger fine. Never seen the skin used before. When I avoid using both (which aren't normally spawned considering the charger is on the FIB Buffalo and the skin is on the detective skin LCPD:FR uses), it still seems to crash. I thought it had something to do with the AI cars spawning with ELS so frequent because I would be mid-progress through a chase or shootout and crash, but I was just patrolling and didn't even see a cop car since I started and it still crashed. I'll probably test that aswell just to be sure, aswell as I don't want them spawning with ELS anyway because it causes problems for me anyway.

 

I'm really unsure of what is causing the crashes, so much so to make it unplayable. Before it crashed but I could at least complete a couple of calls first.

Next up, I'm going to try:

 

- AI don't have ELS

- ELS v7 w/ charger & detective

- v7 w/ NYPD & detective

- v7 w/ charger and LCPD default ped

- Fetal position crying

 

If anyone has any suggestions on things I could try or ideas what may be causing the crashes, I'd appreciate any information I can get.
