C0000005 Crash, Happens Constantly, Probably not ELS-Related.

mtloya · August 27, 2016

Hi all. I've been having issues that just seem to have started today. I am not able to play for more than 8 minutes without crashing, every single time with a C0000005 error. I don't believe it is ELS-related, because it never happens when I'm spawning models with the SNT, or when I'm actually using ELS. I also tried disabling AI ELS, with no prevail.

I am running Windows 10 64-bit, and GTA IV 1.0.7.0 is running in compatibility mode as administrator. The game runs smooth on my machine, but the technical details include: i3-2120 processor, 4 gigs of RAM, and a 1GB AMD Radeon HD 7700.

I have the following mods installed: LCPD:FR 1.1, ELS 8.5 (along with 8 ELS-enabled models), Policing 2.6.2 (I believe), TowService 2.0, Coroner 1.0, Police Helper 1.2.1, and Traffic Flow V1. (And of course the Simple Native Trainer)

I also have 1 additional custom car model installed, and it is not high-poly. Yes, it is loaded into my game and I have it saved at the Bohan safehouse. This however does not effect anything as when the game takes me to where LCPDFR saved last, I am nowhere near the safehouse.

With the Diagnostic Tool, none of my dependencies are invalid, missing or outdated. I will post the log file. You will want to pay attention to the final 8 entries, as all others are earlier gameplay and aren't involved with this issue necessarily.

I'm not sure what all I can do, and I'd prefer not to start from scratch.. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT, ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

I read that AdvancedHookInIt is optional, so I attempted to remove it. Didn't change a thing, still got the same error, only this time the fault module was AdvancedHook.dll, instead of GTAIV.exe. In the AdvancedHook log, it just gave me the same error that it has been during this entire time, except for it being the .dll instead of the .exe.

Further, I changed my draw and detail distances to 18 when they were mid-40s. No change there either. My GPU has been able to play on high settings, so this wouldn't be an issue. (I currently have all my settings for the game set to medium just to make it smoother.)

Please note that the log files posted do not mirror these changes.

Thanks

hello there racer okay so the first question is did you add anything right before the crashes started? i'm guessing you've been playing awhile and this just happened suddenly? so im guessing you should backtrack and see what was installed and try to reverse it. what i would do first is delete that oldsession.fr. anytime i have a crash or something is screwed up, i delete that first just as a hopeful quick fix..because sometimes it does

the code you gave is kind of a generic code that really doesn't direct in any specific direction for a problem. so what we do is just check your logs and i searched the web and most people have attached this problem with els. so i'm guessing maybe you upgraded ELS recently? if so, you may need to downgrade just to see if that fixes the problem.

okay so maybe give those things a try first before you do anything else. make sure before you do anything make a back up copy of your gta iv folder so that you aren't screwed if something goes wrong. also here is a link i found that has the most detailed help i could find. good luck man and lemme know how things go

Hey, thanks for the reply. The newest files/mods that I added right before these crashes started were the custom additional car and the simple native trainer to spawn it. I will try to remove those from my directory and the models and I will get back to you. I'll also remove that oldsession.fr Also, I didn't necessarily upgrade my ELS, but I recently reinstalled the game onto my machine because I upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 (Probably not the smartest move but eh..) and I wanted to make sure it would all work, so in doing so I just installed the latest version of ELS, but I will also try to downgrade to an earlier version. I'll keep ya updated

EDIT:
Okay, so I removed the trainer and the vehicle model, carcol, handling, and other data from the files, and so far so good. I did experience an LCPDFR crash, but it's completely unrelated and honestly the first time the mod itself has ever crashed on me. I'll continue playing and tweaking my settings to see if there is anything else causing my crashing. But, as of now, it appears it was the trainer or the added vehicle.

Second Edit:
I was able to play for about half an hour then crashed again, same error code as before. I'm not sure what it is this time, though. If I had to guess, it would probably be ELS, so I'll continue tweaking settings, turning off AI capabilities and such... To be continued...

Third Edit:
Again was able to play for about half an hour, another crash, same code. I don't believe this was an ELS crash. This is extremely frustrating.
