Resolving the issue requires systematic debugging. The first step is to isolate the module: temporarily remove or rename gfxhack.asi from the game’s root directory. If the game launches without error, the module itself is the cause. Next, the user should verify configuration files—any .ini associated with gfxhack should have resolution and refresh rate values set to standard, supported numbers (e.g., 1920x1080 at 60Hz). Reducing graphics settings to the lowest possible values can help bypass the error. If the problem persists, replacing gfxhack.asi with an updated version from a trusted source (such as the GTAForums or Mixmods) or switching to a more modern alternative like “DirectX 8 to 9 converter” (D3D8.dll) is advisable. Finally, running the game as an administrator and setting compatibility mode to Windows 7 or XP SP3 can mitigate memory allocation issues that lead to range errors.
