I've been playing GTAIV for a while now and most of the times, there's nothing to worry about. As I installed LCPDFR and other mods, things soon became more complicated. I've been collecting crash logs and found that the crashes were caused by ELS.asi.

So the diagnostic tool thinks everything is fine, and it is, most of the time. Crashes are random and cannot be reproduced. Since they are related to ELS.asi the most likely suspect is playing with the lights. As a test I therefore went nuts on the controls and called as much backup as I could to try and overload the script, but it all went fine. Since the crashes are random and cannot be reproduced I'm calling in the troops for help. Let me know if you need any more information. Also found asilog,txt.
