Title: SA:MP Crashes - unintentional "hacking" ?
Post by: Padres on October 27, 2013, 09:07:46 pm: Yo yo yo people. Today I've been experiencing a huge row of crashes without a single clue of why. The only changes I applied were adding a new SMG, LSPD and SFPD Cruiser. All mods have already been replaced with backups and other mods.

Suspiciously when I close the SA:MP Error Report, then it opens another time and just at the second time it gets closed.

Nonetheless, as I haven't given up yet, my gta wants to play a game with me and randomly spectates players upon my login which makes my game crash in the end. It's like I am in the player view of another player untill I press "V" and activate my 1st person mod where I am then located with my camera where I should.

It will most likely be the fault of the last mod or couple you have installed. At the moment it seems the first person mod is at fault. I'd say by process of elimination start removing the mods you installed last however the problem would probably end up staying.

Basically start a fresh is the best advice anyone could give.

Post by: Devin on October 27, 2013, 09:42:01 pm: The best advice to give is a clean install, especially when the game starts to behave erratically and could lead to more serious matters like unintentional cheating.

Look at it my way, in life some people think they need fancy clothing, or makeup to look "pretty" whilst others decide they are happy with the way they look and don't need to waste time and money on fancy items.

The same goes for GTA, why dress your game up in all sorts of fancy clothing when it clearly affects the gameplay and enjoyment of the game when you crash?
Play the game without the mods and without the heartache of bugs.

In short, it does not matter if you groom your miniature french poodle or leave it tatty, at the end of the day it's still not a dog. :lol:

Post by: Janar on October 27, 2013, 10:20:29 pm: I would recommend to start out with a clean install. Install the mods one by one, after installing one, play for few hours to test for bugs. If it works, proceed to next one. When you occur a bug, then you know, which one is faulty. Then just remove that one with the ability to keep the rest.

I somewhat agree with Devin. Mods may cause more problems than fun/excitement. Even though my game is modded to very large extent, I do not have any issues nor problems (have tested everything thoroughly), thereby I won't touch it any longer - If it works, it's good.

True, but it helps find out the faulty ones still, by trying out all different combinations and possibilities, though it would a lot of work.

Do you use any sort of cleo modifications? I had this problem once, where I could TP into vehicles close-by.

You probably used the GAMI Installation and forgot to untick the tools part before installation.

That is a hack, not a "problem". If you still have it installed, make sure you remove it immediately before playing on any of the multiplayer servers in Argo. :P

Post by: Huntsman on November 11, 2013, 05:13:16 pm: The only possible mods that could cause this are cleo mods. They're the only ones who are capable of controlling your game to a bigger extent. Texture and model mods who only replace the models and textures simply can't do something like that. I suppose the first person mod is either a ASI Loader script or a cleo script. Simply clean your cleo mods folder and look for ani .asi or .cs in your GTA SA main folder.
