GTA III Inconsistent crashes.

[Jamasen]

Hello, i'm hoping someone can help me out.

 

I've been having inconsistent crashes while working on my texture replacement mod for GTA 3.

It's super inconsistent but i think it may be one of the .txd files I've replaced (using Mod Loader).

 

Currently i'm using the following script mods:

GinputIII.asi

GTA3.WidescreenFix.asi

III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.asi

IIILogLights.asi

modloader.asi

SilentPatchIII.asi

skygfx.asi

 

Here's the exception from the modloader.log:

Game version: GTA III 1.0 UNK_REGION
Unhandled exception at 0x005C0466 in gta3.exe (+0x1c0466): 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x4BD45000.

Have you tried removing that txd mod to confirm your suspicion? If that’s not the case, then start your game using ginput, silentpatch and skygfx and start adding other asis as you go. Also, do those crashes occur when you start a new game? Some mods may work better on a clean settings file and/or new game

try out increasing limits by OLA, put 1024 or 2048

III.VC.SA.LimitAdjuster.ini

under [GTA3LIMITS]

MemoryAvailable = 2048

Thanks for the ideas, I'm thinking it's memory related.

I'll post my findings later.

Well, you don’t have to increase streaming memory unless you have some super large texture mods. Even then, models would flicker, game shouldn’t crash I believe.

Yes you're correct, i'm currently only using modloader and the game is running fine.

I'll report back when i figure out what combination of scripts causes the crash.

In the end you have found a solution?
