File & Resource Crashes

Quick answer

If the server is stable until one specific item is equipped, or the log names a .ydd, you are looking at a single broken file — not a limit.

Difficulty: Intermediate · Affects: both · Error string CONFIRMED

INFO

Search: invalid fixup, corrupt ydd, specific item crash, one clothing item, truncated file.

Invalid fixup

Invalid fixup, address is neither virtual nor physical (in example.ydd)

The named file has a broken internal fixup table. In practice: the .ydd is corrupt, was exported incorrectly, or was truncated in transit. The same error class applies to YFT and YBN files.

The filename in the message is the useful part. Start there.

Situation	Action
Open files pack	Re-export or restore that file from a clean copy
Escrowed pack	Contact the seller with the exact log line — do not attempt to decrypt
Only one player crashes	Their local copy is truncated. Have them re-download; clearing cache is justified here

Crash on one specific item

Narrow it down before assuming anything:

1. Which gender?
2. Which component or prop? For example jbib (11), feet (6), p_head (prop 0).
3. Which drawable index?
4. Which texture letter, a through z?

Equip neighbouring items to confirm the boundary. If drawable 041 crashes and 040 and 042 are fine, you have isolated one file pair.

Then remove that single .ydd and its textures and restart. If the crash stops, the file is the cause.

What this is not

WARNING

A crash on one item is not a YMT limit. Capacity crashes happen when the ped model loads, regardless of what is equipped. If the server is stable until a specific item is worn, capacity is not your problem — see Capacity Crashes to rule it out.

When cache actually matters

Everywhere else in these docs, clearing cache is the wrong first move. This page is the exception: if one player crashes on a file that works for everyone else, a truncated download is a real possibility, and forcing a re-download is a legitimate test.

It is still not the first step. Confirm the file works for other players first.
