How do I find out and fix what is causing my game to crash?
-
My game runs fine with a few mods installed but there are certain things that will make it crash. A few examples are when I make a Ped a task sequence, it will run fine but if i make the ped aim or shoot at another entity it will crash. Another example is when I spawn/view vehicles with menyoo, it will work fine but there is one SUV that will crash my game just by scrolling past it in the menyoo spawner. Last example is the Skin control mod, again it works fine but if i am choosing my characters outfit, going past a certain number will close the game (it might let me scroll through 200 tops but the moment i preview top 201 it will ctd) there are a few other specific things that will also cause a crash.
How can I find out the reason these crash and close my game, also if anyone already knows what this is, how do I fix this?

Check the Skin Control page for similar issues and possible fixes in the comments section.
Same issue happens with Menyoo, so hopefully this will work.https://forums.gta5-mods.com/topic/38591/menyoo-clothes-crashing-game
Remember that Skin Control is likely no longer supported AFAIK, never used it myself. Old mods never die, they just keep causing headaches.

Nobody can read minds here, so it's always useful to link to the specific Vehicle when asking for help. Or provide the name if it's a vanilla.
There are many game SUVs and even more in the mods section. Please when posting give the name.
Same with your task issue, describe it systematically, step by step so someone here can try to reproduce it.

Thanks for the replay. Here's a video showing the crashes
https://streamable.com/ekl8p7
So for the car issue, I think the Astron custom is added with menyoo
I can highlight and spawn almost any car, but a few will cause a CTD just by scrolling past them in the menu.
In the video I show that i can spawn/view and SUV but the Astron custom will cause the bug, I could just avoid highlighting the option but there are some other cars that do this.For the Task sequence error, sometimes the is will ctd randomly, others times a certain task will cause it.
I show that the scene works normally but then I add "Aim at Entity" and "Shoot at Entity", sometimes just aiming will CTD, other times both tasks will work. In the video, the updated sequences work up until the gunman is supposed to shoot. The game can handle gun fights. I usually have a solid 60fps and it doesn't drop in missions or open world gun fights.

@izveni21 I'll take a look after work.

@izveni21 do you have a gameconfig.xml mod installed with heap and packfile limit adjusters?
.

@izveni21 Ok. I went to spawn the Astron but found it was missing (I don't use any vanilla cars). Apparently it was introduced with the contract but I reverted back to 2372 and never installed that dlc.
What you're experiencing is definitely not normal and I'm guessing you don't have a gameconfig.xml installed or the right configuration.
Have you tried spawning with Vehicles Options, Vehicles Spawner instead of the Spooner. Worth a try. The other thing you may want to try is with another trainer, for example Simple Trainer.
-
@JohnFromGWN Yeah I have ameconfig.xml mod installed with heap and packfile limit adjusters. I have simple trainer too, my issue isn't that I want to spawn the Astron, just that I can't even scroll past it without it crashing the game. Also did you mange to take a look at the task sequence bug? I'm guessing its just one of those CTDs that are random and cant be fixed
