How do we find the cause of mass crashes with no logs

[Arran]

Well for the past 24 hours players have been crashing sometimes twenty in one go about once every hour. I've had it a few times myself and there is absolutely no logging of the crashes, no dump file, and nothing in core.log just this error message:

Ofcourse there is the painful method of reverting everything (assuming it is a script and not some dodgy player) and adding some things and eventually finding the offending script with trial and error. I'd like to know what can possibly be done to find the cause of the crash without doing that? (if any) A developer would need to run the game in debug mode or something along those lines?

You may be able to save a minidump of the process when that error appears.

This page explains how:

You want to create a dump of gta-sa.exe (not Multi Theft Auto.exe).

Once you've got a dump, link to it here and someone who has the symbols for the version of MTA you're using can have a look at it.
