That's not a crash. The skybox wasn't drawn for some reason and since there was nothing to draw in that empty space, it was keeping the data from the previous frame buffer as if it wasn't cleared.
A crash implies that the application stopped working unexpectedly. That's more like a bug.
I've seen this occasionally happen since forever. Since it happens so rarely (I haven't seen it more than a few times a year), it's not really easy to debug this.

Are you SLC?
Edit: Checked your posts, yes you are. I was hoping that a new guy came to vcmp and apparently knew everything about it.

Nah, my videocard is not that old :P
I used to get such a bug when using some enb series mod.
It was like this for few seconds, then everything was turning back to normal.
Pretty sure you can remake the bug, but the reasons won't be the same I suppose.

I don't have ENB series mods though. You can see the chat, that crash thing popped up and this bug happened. I think it exists with the compatibility for Windows 10. It was working fine in 8.1 though.
You do know that Vice City is quite an old game. Probably older than many users here on this forum. Back when Vice City was released, Windows 98 was still popular. Just to get an idea. Vice City is built on DirectX 8 and we reached DirectX 12. We had 5 major operating systems since then (XP, Vista, 7, 8/1 and now 10). Nowadays, most driver vendors are focused on current games and not on those from the age of dinosaurs. I don't see why anyone would be surprised about this graphical bug.

But this bug I have only, when I paste d3d8.dll and neo folder from skygfx.
Who remove the sky???☺
Try this upon joining a server
/setconfig game_streammem 512

What will that do? Please don't try to troll me xd
That was a crash, if you read the chatlog, then you can see it :D
This will change your game stream memory to 512. Can be done in other ways by going in your %appdata% folder and finding the vcmp_config.txt file and changing the value to 512. I'm not guaranteeing this will solve anything but it is worth a shot.

It's already 1024 :D ( to what I remember )
But what it would do? stream memory for custom objects or what?

For all (custom & standard) objects.

Streaming memory only has to do with game's default objects. Custom objects/vehicles/skins/weapons don't use it.

So what would happen if we increase the limit? I feel nothing different

After a few hundred megabytes the whole default map fits in the streaming memory. Then there's no difference beyond that.
How about leaving the game alone :)?
Last time I attempted texture mods I was nearly banned from servers for lagging like f! High advantages over players.
"It's not recommended "
The outcome is as bad as uploading a 5 hr video to YouTube(wouldn't finish on normal gameplay). and Running Skype.
Everyone basically runs mods, but everyone calls everyone hackers :D

I removed the tress once. You won't be banned unless you upload a video of your mods :D
