Problem with joining to FFS Gaming

[Ronaldo!]

Hello there, I have a problem with joining to FFS Gaming server. It was working fine till now. When I join the server my MTA crashes, I already tried to reinstall MTA but still didn't work.

Here is the error I get:

This crash (0x000C9691) and the underlying mechanism is known to me, and most likely related to local mods to certain (vehicle) models that fail to load properly. Possibly this specific server, FFS, is interfering with your (corrupted/bad) installed mods by trying to replace them, or (pre)load them on connect where other servers you don't neccesarily encounter the mod you got installed except when you directly spawn or face this object or vehicle. (Assuming so as you said; the crash happens when you join FFS server). The crash more specifically is known to occur when your gta3 vehicle mod (one of them) is applied to a wrong vehicle type, like a train model on a car ID, and then the server (or another event/maybe even facing or loading it) tries to replace this original car ID with a car-type model again. (You can use this info if you want to try fix your mod install, however for a quick fix attempt I'd suggest starting with a clean install or even keeping it unmodded). Possibility 2 is that you have no existing, or unloadable (corrupted) model in your gta3.img which is being loaded/rendered at the server you're crashing on. (where the server doesn't neccesarily try to load a server-modded version of it)

So the first solution to try would be re-installing GTA with a clean, non modded version.

However, also please:

Please download, extract and run MTADiag and follow the instructions.

Press 'n' when asked.

Post any Pastebin URL MTADiag gives you in this topic

Hello Dutchman101,

first of all, thanks for your reply, I appreciate that! I installed a non modded gta3.img file but I still can't join the server, it's still crashing. After that I downloaded MTADiag and there were some modded files in the GTA folder so I downloaded the original files and replaced them. I tried to join the server but it's still crashing. Here is the pastebin file which MTADiag sent me:

Well now the problem is solved. I think it's a problem with the newest update. I installed MTA 1.5.2 and it worked. Link of the version: https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/mtasa-1.5.2-full_rc-10034-20160921.exe

The latest crash is caused because gta3.img is missing bullet.dff

Can't be. It's working on 1.5.2 but not in 1.5.2. I also downloaded the original gta3.img

There was a row of patches making MTA more sensitive to corrupted gta3.img, you can verify 1.5.3 is runnable without this crash by 1) disabling auto-update in MTA settings, and then installing: https://nightly.multitheftauto.com/mtasa-1.5.3-full_rc-11199-20170223.exe

Let us know. Using 1.5.2 until those issues are nailed is far from ideal. Also, the nature of this underlying issue guarantees your GTA isn't unmodded (as said, corruption causes it for you). It simply can't happen with a 100% clean installation.
