Crash After Changing Game Build
The pack did not “go corrupt overnight.” Rockstar’s new DLC used more of the same YMT ceiling you were already sharing.
Difficulty: Intermediate · Affects: LEGACY (well documented). ENHANCED: latest DLC only (plus build 1) — you cannot roll clothing DLC back the same way.

Crash after changing game build
Intermediate
Cause
Newer sv_enforceGameBuild loads more GTA Online clothing DLC. Free add-on slots drop. Pattern CONFIRMED (#2938). Exact remaining slots stay APPROXIMATE.
Confirm
Revert only the build. Crash gone → pack files are probably fine. Count YMTs vs the new row on the Game Build Table.
Fix: Stay on the previous build, remove collections, or merge open YMTs. There is no live command that adds YMT slots.
Other paths
| IDs shifted, no join crash | New DLC moved global indexes. Usually visual / wrong item, not a join crash. | clothing-ids-changed | |
| You also changed platform | Enhanced vs Legacy is a different client. Gen9 placeholders are not a slot gift. | legacy-vs-enhanced | |
| Artifact too old for that build | Example: Kortz Center Heist / 3889 needed FXServer 35245+ — **VERSION DEPENDENT**. | pack-installation-checklist | |
| Still crashes with clothing off | A native that requires the new build. Clothing is not the first place to look. | crash-decision-tree |
Pre-upgrade checklist
Staging, not production:
Record current build, FXServer artifact, and YMT counts
Record current build, FXServer artifact, and YMT counts (male / female / creaturemetadata).
Read the target row on the Game Build Table
If remaining slots would go ≤ 0, do not upgrade yet.
Change only the build on staging
Test join + male + female + one shop.
If it dies
Revert. The pack probably did not go corrupt. Optional: drop one gender’s collection — if only that gender recovers, you have proof.
Warn script owners
Global clothing IDs will shift. Collection-local IDs stay.
Legitimate options when you are already as merged as escrow allows: stay on the previous build; remove collections; repack open YMTs; move some content to replace (vanilla loss). Do not expect increase_pool_size for YMTs — it does not exist.
DANGER
There is no safe live-server command that “adds 10 YMT slots.” Contributor attempts to raise the 80/100 array ceiling are unfinished and caused other crashes.
What not to do
WARNING
Latest build is always better
For add-on clothing it is often worse.
WARNING
Wipe cache / downscale to 512
Neither adds YMT slots.
WARNING
Dump all packs in one folder
