📋 About This Mod
This is a modified version of the HeapAdjuster mod which can be found here: The purpose of this asi remains the same as the original which is to resolve ERR MEM EMBEDDEDALLOC ALLOC error crashes caused by using more memory than the heap allows. The modified version comes with an ini so users can define the heap size manually as they wish. The project is open source and can be found here: Please ensure to only use one version of this asi at a time. The original is titled "GTAV. HeapAdjuster.asi" while this version is simply "HeapAdjuster.asi" Thanks to the FiveM team for permissions to release this to the public and for all the hard work they've done.

HeapAdjuster is a modified ASI plugin that fixes ERR_MEM_EMBEDDEDALLOC_ALLOC crashes in GTA IV by increasing the game's heap memory limit. It includes an INI file for user configuration. With nearly 3,000 endorsements and millions of downloads, it's a proven solution for memory-related crashes, though it hasn't been updated since 2019.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 2,960 endorsements and 4.9M downloads prove this thing works for tons of players.
- The INI file means you can tweak the heap size to match your mod loadout instead of being stuck with defaults.
- Directly targets that annoying ERR_MEM_EMBEDDEDALLOC_ALLOC crash that kills playthroughs when you stack too many mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not play nice with newer game patches or mods that have come out since.
- It's an ASI plugin, so you'll need an ASI loader like ScriptHook or similar—if you don't have that set up, it won't work.
- Since it's a modified version, there's a small risk it could conflict with other memory tweaks or mods that alter the same game files.
This is for GTA IV players who keep crashing with ERR_MEM_EMBEDDEDALLOC_ALLOC after installing lots of mods or using high-resolution textures. It's also for anyone who wants a configurable way to bump up the game's memory limit to avoid those crashes. If you're a heavy modder, this is a must-have.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have an ASI loader installed (like ScriptHook) or the plugin won't be loaded by the game.
- Open the INI file after installing to adjust the heap size—start with the default and increase it if you still crash.
- If you're running a lot of texture mods, consider raising the heap size higher than the default to prevent memory errors.
