HELP: My GTA IV keeps crashing

So that's it. My game eventually crashes after playing some minutes, sometimes after 5, 10, 20 or 30 minutes and no matter what I'm doing (if using LCPD:FR or playing randomly). So I need to know which mod is generating this issue. I have different error messajes when it crashes... no clue about this and maybe someone can tell me if some mod interferes with other or it's known conflictive for the game. 

I'm obviously using patch 1.0.7.0 and my currently installed mods and scripts are:

 

- LCPD:FR 1.0c

- ELS V8

- First Person script v1.1

- Flashlight 4 Weapons v2.0 by metalwars

- TrafficLoad by ikt

- Automatic Plate Reader Script v2.0 by Kit

- Simple Fuel Mod v1.5 by endosan

- Indicator script v1.0

- IVDashCam v2.2.1

- vdH Police Helper 1.2.1b + vdHTowService

- vdH Police Station - Broker v1.0

- VehicleSpeedControl v2.0

- WalkingDead, RUN! v1.5

- Simple Native Trainer v6.5

- Route 66 by nine30

- EDGE v2.6

- 7 real cars installed with OpenIV, and obviously I did rebuilt after every modification in the vehicles.img file (3 are police cars and one of these is a non-ELS,  so I set it "off" into _SLOTCONTROL.ini. Also I created the respective .ini file for my other ELS cars) Also I've modified the handling.dat file with the lines provided into the readme file of every downloaded vehicle but I've NEVER modified the vehicles.ide file.

- Two different officer peds (I don't think these modifications could cause crashes because they are only texture modifications, but I had to modify some lines under the pedgrp.dat file for one of these skins, suggested by the installation readme).

- I have modified the .gxt file to rename cars.

- I'm using a tweaked rage_postfx.fxc file (shaders folder) for motion blur while driving.

- My commandline (I think this is useless, not sure):  -norestrictions

                                                                                   -minspecaudio
                                                                                   -noprecache
                                                                                   -noswapdelay
                                                                                   -novblank
                                                                                   -dx10 /high

 

Some of those installed scripts are properly customized, only for key binding. I also need to mention I have mixed some icenhancer v2.1 files (d3d9.dll, iceconfig.ini, smaa.dll, SMAA.fx and SMAA.h) with a timecyc I currently use, so I have a nice timecyc.dat with antialiasing.

I have all needed files: ScriptHook, ScriptHookDotNet, AdvancedHookInit, AdvancedHook and an asi loader.

 

The big problem is... I can't do a clean install cause my DVD's are completely scratched...

 

 

My PC specs: Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, i5 3230M up to 3.2Ghz, GF 740M 2GB, 12GB DDR3 1600Mhz. The game runs at 40-50 fps as well with all those mods running (I remember around 60 fps when had a clean install of GTA IV)

 

Thank you so much for read and any suggestion will be very apreciated...

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you're crashing because of your mods... 

 

You should try removing some scripts, the more scripts/mods you have the more chance you'll crash

If you want to me reply as soon as possible, then either quote or @CouthInk4  me as i'll be notified, a general reply will not notify me

Thanks for your reply, Couthink4. I know I have more chances to crash if more mods working together, that's because I need to know which mod/script is or isn't friendly with other I have installed, I know it's hard to know about this but maybe someone can tell me :) Thanks again.

It's not a matter of which script is causing it (usually), but more of how many you have in total. The more scripts, the more unstable. the only way to figure out which one could be causing it is to install one at a time, and launch the game. It's pretty frustrating but when you have that many scripts you are nearly guaranteed to have stability problems.

- vdH Police Helper 1.2.1b + vdHTowService

This causes problems with LCPDFR for me, the developer is no longer active and hasn't made an update in a while, I stay away from vdH, however the towtruck usually causes SMPA60 for me, so I don't know but try removing that first.

 

 

Thank R* for the port  :whistling:

I will try figure out what script is causing this crashes by using one at a time :okay:

Thanks.

I just made some changes on my game and it seems to be fine now, no more crashes at the moment. I deleted the following scrips and mods: APR, Speed Control, Simple Fuel, Route 66 (now clean images.txt and gta.dat), two cop ped mods (clean pedVariations.dat) and 3 real cars (new cleanest handling.dat and rebuilt vehicles.img too), I also removed them from parking spots and resaved the game.

I hope this could be useful for some people too. Greetings :)
