"Old Car Syndrome" crash FIX!!!!
Motoki:
I can also confirm uncompressing makes the game load every time for me. Maybe it's voodoo but nontheless I have not gotten a single crash on load no matter how much I change the config since doing it.

Yeah, I believed that for about the 5 minutes it took to get it to crash again. Then I discarded it as one more form of voodoo, as it's just one more form of chanting and rattles. You can decompress the entire thing using s3rc -d, though. Less fiddling with horrid GUIs. Not that it will REALLY help. The only consistent solution that really works is 3booter, and even then, not so much that it prevents the crash as that it automatically kicks it for you until it works.

Yeah but there must be some reason it is doing it and therefore a way to fix it, though it might require an exe hack.
Realistically, I suppose that would not be worth the trouble since it would have to be maintained through every patch and expansion for something that is just a nuisance but not game stopping. :-\
tallinn:
I am pretty convinced that the crash is caused by unproperly synchronized threads in TS3.exe. Wether they run in the intended order (no crash) or not (crash) may depend on everything including but not limited to the actual current output of your power supply and the position of the pegasus galaxy relative to the milky way at midnight. Only EA may be able to fix that, if at all.

I thought JMP already fixed this... because I haven't had any startup crash since I updated Awesomemod in July 12th. I've been loading and shutting up the session frequently to check out the houses and small hacks I downloaded from MTS, and not a single crash occurred. I never used 3booters, just enablescripterror.package and used to manually delete script cache file whenever the game crashed during loading.
