Thanks for your input fellows. I have had the problem sorted out. It turned out to be 3 cars messing it up: Chevy K Blazer, which was working fine up until a few games ago; and 2 Audi's, which when viewed through the GGMM showed up incomplete or with no wheels, though I dont think that is conclusive. Incidentally I didnt use the trainer as it wasnt near absolute in determining which mods were the causing the problems. It froze even if I didnt spawn the cars. What I did was whenever the game froze I replaced the IMG with the backup and then drove around the area and see which cars I I didnt see/notice with the modded IMG. Then I put back the modded IMG and removed the mods I didnt see/notice. It was a bit tedious but it narrowed it down. I hope it helps someone experiencing something similar. Cheers!

Mucho Gracias! Im on it! Cheers!

Thanks! I will give that a shot. Some cutscenes get through if I give it time but in my experience, in game freezing are final. My Specs: p4 3.0HT 100gb HD 1gb RAM geforce 6800XT I think you may be right there. I had to remod all over again and everything looked to be going fine until after the green sabre mission where the freezing started aroung the Mt Chilliad area. Im yet to test with a trainer but that is what im getting ready to do. I am almost certain the problem lies within the IMG file as I backed up before modding all over again and then replaced it after experiencing freeze issues. Result is everything plays fine. Thanks for the tips Gerard. And if you know any specific trainer name that will be helpful! Cheers!

Hello folks! The issue is that the game freezes around the wang motors/old garage in San Fierro. Previously, I have had intermittent crashes/freezes but it doesnt repeat itself with the same pattern. Then I had about 60-70 cars modded. I had some issues that forced me to re-mod all those cars all over again and added some more to boot. Currently I have about 90 modded cars or so in my GTA3 IMG file. After modding all these, the game played without a problem within Los Santos (except the odd freeze) until I had to return to SF to complete the import/export missions. I thought it might be insufficient disk space or paging file causing the problem. SO I checked and my C:\ drive had only about 500mb of space, though my games arent installed there. I freed up 2gb on that partition. I had only one paging file on the C:\ which was between 1.5gb to 3gb. I added another paging file on D:\ which contained my installed games and programs, size 500mb to 1gb Im not sure if that would make things better or not but I did it all the same to eliminate possible issues. It didnt improve the situation with the game. So I decided to lower my game settings even though my rig surpasses the recommended requirements to run GTA:SA. Turned off anti-aliasing, mipmapping; brought resolution to 800x600x16 and then to 640x480x32; but no, it didnt change nothing. The game kept freezing; I downgraded my game from v1.01euro to v1.0 but still the situation remains the same. Im left thinking it would have to be one of the modded cars, possibly in Wang Motors that is defective. So far I have reverted the Savanna back to its default, the Stratum, Sultan, and Uranus mods have not given me problems previously and I can drive around with these cars on the road not giving me problems. It will be extremely helpful if someone could give some suggestions, perhaps: 1. providing a list of cars housed at Wang Motors, and if possible parked within the surrounding area; 2. say whether or not over 90 modded cars in the game could be an issue in this case; 3. offer any solution/s a similar experience might have brought about; 4. offer any other possible causes and; 5. offer ANY solution that is marginally easier that remodding all over again, one by one. As I indicated, I had to re-mod previously because during a gta img rebuild, I ran out of disc space... and that experience is something I'd rather not go through. I will appreciate any input. Cheers. ?
