Known Causes of Crashes

I barely know of any. Please add some. :) Is there a google doc or something like that out there?

1) Rapid camera movements near certain things 1a) All escalators I am only aware of the Just Business escalator. (There is another one at a place you do not pass, some shopping center or something similar) It appears that the radius for this is quite big, unless the cause for Shadow_Dog is different: [6:05 AM] Shadow_Dog: ive had same crash before but before the road goes up [6:07 AM] Shadow_Dog: around this area https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/271678111748194304/307004829346037770/RGjc3zQ.png 1b) Some unknown thing near where Robbing Uncle Sam ends. I heard that you should not look behind after that mission. I tried to reproduce the crash but could not. I know that Tirean and me have crashed there, though. I do not know if there was rapid camera movement involved.

OG Loc - obv when trying to highjack the dude instead of shooting him.

Life's a Beach - when entering the beach area. (heard that it has somethin to do w/ the game not being able to spawn grove street npcs?)

Doberman - up the road fro the screenshot in Patrick's post. similar thing - fall of the bike, get up, and then crash.

Robbing Uncle Sam - ive had a crash there before as well after the mission end.

Wear Flowers in Your Hair - had a crash in the large turn in around/before the helipad numerous times. Also had a crash on the way to pick up Zero, around the Deconstruction mission area.

If I load the game very quickly (say after failing a mission) often my game will crash. It could just be my version, or it could be already known, but maybe it has happened to others. Sometimes this also happens if I fail a race several times.

Trying to do a deathwarp during a safehouse buy cutscene

Had my game crash too upon returning from Robbing Uncle Sam to grove street, all times when I went into cinematic camera mode (to switch back to far away cam)

Having the frame limiter disabled can cause a lot of crashes, most notably during fade-to-black transitions. I don't think this is really worth mentioning though, since it's pretty common knowledge to always have the frame limiter enabled, but I'm saying it anyway for completion's sake.

Also, there's apparently (albeit small) memory leaks in 1.01 whenever you change radio stations. Maybe this is the cause of some of the seemingly random crashes people have had during RTLS?

You can create a ready-to-upload crash report by double-clicking the .bat file in this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/271678111748194304/413488417738063893/wincrashreport.zip Readme:

  1. Run the .bat file as admin if the game runs as admin.

  2. Do not close the "GTA ... has stopped working" window until you have the crash report.

Filthy cheaters (version mixers DansGame ) who use a cracked exe in a new Steam version with removed songs regularly get crashes when the game tries to play one of them.

[12:17 PM] Nick007J: high chances to get a softlock or semaphore crash on SSD or especially ramdisk [12:17 PM] Nick007J: especially with win98 hack to reduce loading times to minimum Note: He was referring to the dxwnd Fix buffered IO after Win98 option . APPHANG report of one of those: https://pastebin.com/VCsEnVky

I have posted this in the Bullshit Compilation, forgetting that there is this thread. DansGame Intensive Care Make sure that CJ is not bailing out as you enter the "marker" at the hospital or you crash the game. The reason is that the mission gives the player vehicle double health after the cs and if you bail, there is no player vehicle, causing a crash.
