So it would seem that the taxis and PMP 600s have killed most other cars and become the dominant car race, because they're the only cars I've seen on the road, and in large numbers. Any idea what causes this? Can't upload screenshots because the text box is being annoying, but this is in Alderney if it makes any difference. Also, I recently installed PoliceHelper. That could be part of it.

 

Status Update: The Landstalkers have arisen in a Vehicular French Revolution and now replace the PMP 600s. A reckless driver was reported as being seen in an Oracle, so that's not affected.

 

Edit: Wait, they're not Landstalkers. I think. I'm not good with vehicles. They're similar to Landstalkers.

Do you have any mods (specifically car mods) running that may affect texture memory? I think you're in the pre-stage of a Taxi Bug.

Uh, no. Just LCPDFR, ELS (which I may end up removing if the crashing gets too annoying and I can't find a way to reduce it), the Breathalyzer script, SimpleTrainer, and PoliceHelper, I think. I don't use any traffic loader mods or ENBs (whatever the heq those are), and my graphics aren't set to maximum, so my memory shouldn't be low or anything. I use some non-stock cars (because ELS), but no special packs. Most of the cars in the game are unmodified.

For a minute, I only saw taxis. Then the 600s started appearing.

Have you tried temporarily reverting to vanilla vehicles to see if the issue persists?

Not yet; I've been a little busy with Civilization V achievement hoarding other stuff. This has never happened before; I'll try your suggestion (verifying the game cache does the trick) and see what happens.

It works fine with stock cars, but as soon as I add in a custom car (I uninstalled ELS, by the way), one car is all there is.

Honestly, I don't miss ELS that much. Barely any crashing by comparison.

That's because car mods have an ass load of detail into them, that it eats up the games resources. The engine realizes that and stop spawning all traffic, which all the time it leaves taxis, police vehicles, and gang vehicles spawning only. If there's any more resource eaten up, the map will start to downgrade randomly as well.

Is there a fix?

You can always use the traffic flow script. So the cars that spawn will be more variable. Name says it all.

Download Chikamru Traffic Loader (Google), this is the best traffic loader around as it doesn't cost much performance.
