Since the gameconfig on this site is not working, and the most recently released gameconfig did nothing, I have stayed up for the past 24 hours straight perfecting a gameconfig.

I have a heavily modded currently updated steam version that sufferers the same crash to desktop everyone else is facing. I think I found out why. It's is a memory leak but not the normal kind.

I'm currently testing right now. I have addon cars installed and graphics mods. What would have crashed my game before is running great. I'm on hour 4 of causing constant chaos with no crashes. I will release a video and upload as soon as I'm sure I didn't just get lucky.

With my changes and research I have made I'm hoping this will become an open project so anyone can make changes to the gameconfig and not be limited by someone else. I will be showing fully the changes I made to get there. More testing needed.

One question is needed to be asked, and that is full system specs of a gta 5 that crashes. If your gta crashes after a period of time, PLEASE post your system specs.

After one by one checking all other variables (and I mean ALL variables), I read on a forum to use DxDiag to find out the cause. This lead me to learning about RADAR PRE LEAK 64. This is basically a guard that makes sure programs stay within their memory limits. It mainly goes off on badly optimized apps that have memory leaks. After reading some forums about it regarding Skyrim, they pointed me in the direction of stack overflows. At the bottom of the gameconfig is VEHICLE SPAWN which was limited by 3000 on one stack. So I increased the memory and stacks and NO MORE CRASHES!

I don't know for sure how this works, but I believe that having mods takes away from that 3000 single stack leading to asking for more memory which triggers RADAR PRE LEAK 64 and something with clr.dll forces a game crash to prevent memory leak.

Here are the values that have been changed.

@yellowboy06 It all depends on different settings, but I have an OIV installer that goes through every vehicle.meta and makes all cars with identical spawn rates. Doesnt change much from vanilla other than cleaning up the code for easier changes.

Easy way to make mass changes to your games vehicles if you use notepad++ rename all functions

@mrwallace888 looking at the fxweather.ytd file and the pollen_render_drop.xml file, it says the pollen texture starts at the 3rd texture and ends at the 5th texture in the plankton texture. Either blank the plankton texture in paint or edit the render drop size min max to 0.

@mrwallace888 Pollen? Looks like thd texture for pollen, either enabled in the weather file or maybe timecycle file. Or just try removing the texture, not sure at the moment which file has it.

@a63nt-5m1th

Heres a video of virgo2, sabregt2, and tornado5 spawning in traffic with all liveries. The liveries need to be changed for different textures between vehicles, and the tornado5 needs a completely different liverie made for it, but it is %100 working now. Thank you very much, i'll be able to update my mod now as soon as i can retexture the liveries.

@a63nt-5m1th Thank you. Yes I got the liveries to spawn in traffic! Only seen one so far, but seeing the virgo2 and sabregt2 in traffic looks so good. I know the tornado 5 also has 2 liveries set up but only uses one. I have to make some edits to the carvariations but thuis is exactly the info I have been looking for.

Seriously, I have had 3 problems with this game since I started modding and you have solved all three with very smart solutions. Thank you!!

YES The tornado5 can be set to spawn two liveries at once. That is a total of 100 different kinds of cars that can be spawned!!!!! 10 liveries for the body plus 10 liveries for the roof!!! I would post a pic, but the forums arent allowing pics right now for some reason? Anyways they look incredible spawning in traffic

@IAmGtaBoy That truck sound is unused in the game. This is all I could find online.

Looking through the sounds.dat54.rel file, it seems truck_large_1_us_v12.awc is the only truck sound being used, but it is attached to an unknown hash. Probably more sounds in the DLCs for trucks. Truck_large_2_eur_6cyl is also used for the halftrack.

@a63nt-5m1th I put together an OIV package that increases the master volume to %500

Will work on an update to change the engine sounds of certain vehicles.

https://www.gta5-mods.com/vehicles/enhanced-rel-volume#description_tab

@a63nt-5m1th I'm gonna try to convert the electric sound to the engine sound using the 151 approach. All this is just a gold mine of information, very well done.

Using your methods I was able to trace the Ruffian to two different files, one was the 1000_racebike.awc for the High/Low engine, and the other was v_twin_1.awc for the Engine Accel and Deaccel. I have the engine sounds modded, never tried messing with the High/Low.

@a63nt-5m1th Can confirm using \mods\update\ update.rpf \x64\audio\config and using a value of <MasterVolume value="500" /> works very well without any sound distortion. I'm going through all my .rel now to increase volume. Although I still prefer editing the awc files to get better sounds, this works amazing for NPC traffic and a general sound increase. You can hear cars drive past you now.

I found this posted on the Discord, thought this would be a great place to have it for a reference.

@ProPlayer2137 the file you are looking for the Rocoto is sportscar_4_eur_4_cyl. I just deleted the file and it was silence in game.

@a63nt-5m1th I just tried to increase the volume on the Adder. Found the value, increased it to 100, 300, 500, 1000, and I couldn't hear any sound increase. Any additional files I have to edit? Also looking at the lines above the master volume, if i can get it to work it would only increase the engine and exhaust accel?

@a63nt-5m1th I just started looking into it, trying to make a list of all cars that work and all that doesn't. Would be helpful if I knew what cars used what sounds, but it's not straight since ya like your example they are engine sounds, not names. I'll do some more testing tomorrow, no access to gta right now (modding withdraws, life responsibilities)

@a63nt-5m1th ok ill start off again. On my mod I have increased the volume of the DLC vehicles. The DLC vehicles are fine, the ones with name.awc but I have been told by multiple people for some reason it breaks cars that use a blank audio hash. So the cars that use DLC sounds work, which are modded, but it breaks the regular sounds that are not modded. I can only trace it to the cars that have a blank audio hash, the ones that refer to enginesound.awc in the x64 directories. I know the game has name references and hash references, so maybe changing the DLC changes the hash of all audio leading to non DLC cars having no sound.

@a63nt-5m1th what I mean is, let's say I want to change my audio to an Adder, ya the game just looks for the audio file Adder, but for a normal car that's blank, so no name, it points to a file that describes the engine and not the car name. So how does the game know what audio file to use if the car name doesn't match the engine name?

Related to an audio problem I'm having when DLC audios get modified, it somehow broke that connection between the name of the car and the name of the engine audio file. Not sure if any of that made sense.

@a63nt-5m1th would this particular technique be used to understand blank audio hashes and why some sounds can't be heard?

@a63nt-5m1th Can't say for sure, 5 had no cars on the road, 2 - 4 had varying degrees, but on 1 it set the spawn to what I'd expected. I have since set every car to 1 and haven't changed. Also you are correct about the car flags. To get them to spawn as I wanted in the popgroups I set every car to have the rich and poor tags. Not sure how much effect this has (everything is just a variable in the formula) but after setting these values the scramjet started spawning regularly in vinewood area so I stuck with it.

@Aurora11 In my mod Enhanced population, I have vehicle.meta files with all the spawn values set the same.

https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/oiv-vehicle-template

You can use this as a template for testing. All the vehicle.meta files have been standardized.

@IreBurn Are you talking in paint.net and not in game? Since it is a gradient, using the hue will only change the color, not the light color. Go into levels, and using the RGB you can change both colors of the gradient. I think red looks great.

The rest of the blade is also inside that file. It can be color changed too.

@IreBurn Nevermind. That was OpenIV being wierd.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EJdPv1en7wmyF80KmlgIVaB1Nyir35Iw/view?usp=sharing
If you put that file into x64e\levels\gta5\vehicles.rpf\vehshare.ytd then your helicopter blades will look red. The part that is yellow is actually a tiny yellow safety warning sticker.

@IreBurn So this is wierd. I figured out what you mean. Look at the yft of frogger, it points the yellow blades to not x64e in the mods folder, but towards the vehshare.ytd file inside the base folders. I learned something new, if the model points towards a base folder, it will not use the base folder inside your mod folder.

OK so I found the file, but can't find any yellow. Deleting files one by one points towards vehicle_generic_detail2.dds but there's no yellow. I changed the hue blue gets me purple blades. Further changing the hue to purple gets me red blades. Changing it back to red gets me yellow blades.

So the modded frogger.yft points towards a non modded vehshare.ytd inside x64e with a color offset set on the blades.
