	Remember that GTA is an old game, and MTA places a lot of power in the hands of scripters (to mess up with a lack of optimization). Even if you have a high amount of RAM (for example 8gb, 16gb) you can't expect it to all be usable.. old games have technical limits and limited address space. Server scripters can do really cool and insanely realistic stuff while using far below 3.6GB RAM (the absolute technical limit in SA), but only as long they have scripters and modellers/designers that know about optimization. Strictly taken, no server, no matter how modded or beautiful.. should need to use above 2GB of RAM. Most decent servers use between 800MB - 1.6GB anyways. If you wish to learn more about this subject or are a server owner that wants to realize their mistakes, please join the MTA discord at https://discord.gg/mtasa and go to the #general channel, then open that channel's pinned post about optimization ecosystem problems (written by Dutchman101).

	If you're experiencing crashes that, according to the table of common crashes, are related to corrupt custom models, then we advise you to re-install GTA from the original game source (DVD or Steam, so no pre-modded repacks) or restore ~~targetted~~ file back-ups in case you understand which (type of) model may cause the crash.		If you're experiencing crashes that, according to the table of common crashes, are related to corrupt custom models, then we advise you to re-install GTA from the original game source (DVD or Steam, so no pre-modded repacks) or restore targeted file back-ups in case you understand which (type of) model may cause the crash.

	In case you're only experiencing the crashes while playing on a certain server, there's a high chance that server is loading custom server models, and then we recommend you to contact the server owner so they can investigate and potentially identify & replace the corrupted model to stop the crashes. Until they take successful action, on that server you can try to avoid physically facing the mod you believe results in a crash (like not spawning said vehicle or using said skin).
