Clothing Crash Decision Tree
Answer one question at a time. Do not skip to “clear cache”.
Difficulty: Intermediate · Affects: Legacy and Enhanced (isolation is the same; the limits are not)
The path
Is clothing actually involved?
Comment every clothing ensure (add-on, replace, EUP, faces-as-clothing, creaturemetadata-only). Restart. Join. Load male and female freemode.
DANGER
Still crashes — not primarily clothing. Check maps, vehicles, peds, scripts, GPU, game files.
TIP
Crash gone — clothing (or something that loaded with it) is involved. Continue.
Which resource?
Re-enable half the clothing resources. Test both genders. Repeat until one resource (or one gender’s files) toggles the crash. Use binary search — do not disable 40 packs one by one.
Record: folder name, add-on vs replace, male YMT count, female YMT count, creaturemetadata, escrowed or not.
Read the crash string
Crash dialog and CitizenFX.log. Match the exact phrase.
Hash plus freemode spawn: known hashes — commonly associated with YMT, never 100%. Nothing clothing-like: keep isolating. Do not force a YMT story.
DANGER
TxdStore Pool Full — TxdStore. Pool is full. Clothing may only have crossed a server-wide budget.
DANGER
Invalid fixup — Invalid Fixup. Named streamed file, usually a YDD.
WARNING
ERR_MEM_MULTI_ALLOC_FREE — ERR_MEM. Possible alternate-variation overflow; also has other causes.
TIP
You lack the required entitlement — Entitlement. Resource never started.
When does it die?
WARNING
Join / load screen — YMT, TxdStore, escrow, or a resource that fails during streaming init. Crash on join.
WARNING
Freemode ped created — YMT / metadata for that gender. One gender only? Count that gender.
DANGER
One item equipped — that drawable’s YDD (or its YTD). Crash on a specific item.
WARNING
After changing game build — newer DLC likely consumed slots. Pack may be fine. Crash after game build.
Confirm YMT without guessing
Set sv_enforceGameBuild back to the last working build. If the crash disappears, the pack is probably over the new build’s free slots — not “suddenly corrupt”.
Count with How to Count YMTs. Compare to the Game Build Table. If reducing YMT files stops the crash, YMT exhaustion is confirmed for this server.
What not to do
WARNING
Clear cache to “fix” YMT or TxdStore
Cache does not add slots.
WARNING
set moo 31337 on a live server
DEVELOPMENT / DEBUGGING ONLY (Legacy). Removed on Enhanced.
WARNING
Decrypt escrowed files
Do not.
WARNING
Maps, vehicles, peds, and MLOs share TxdStore with clothing. If you only disable clothing and the crash was TxdStore Pool Full, you have shown that clothing was part of the budget, not that the pack is corrupt.
