Thanks, but for some reason I can't open that rar file (though I can usually). Maybe try again with a zip or 7zip?
EDIT: By the way, I don't know what's in the file but the only thing I hope to test is the obj file that crashes the editor. Because crashes should never happen.

I think the only thing that could help at this point is the name of the mod, in case that was responsible.
Hangs that eventually recover are most likely something to do with memory access, maybe the RAM has been getting full and it was swapped to disc, so took some time to recover when that memory had to be accessed again. Or any number of hangs due to accessing the hard drive, that LFS can't really control. This case would be most likely if you had been on a server for a long time. Though I don't remember hearing much about long hangs. Also it's more likely if you have a HDD rather than an SSD and that HDD is getting full or your haven't defragged it recently. Though I know some computers simply do hang quite a bit. My main computer doesn't hang much at all, although it is old, but a budget laptop we have frequently hangs for a long time while performing the simplest of operations.
Thank you for the info.
In fact this is the same one reported by VladM above, so that was fixed in December test patches.

For anyone following this thread but not following test patch updates:
In Test Patch A10 there is a new skin viewer mode in the garage. You can use manual or auto reload to inspect the result of your changes and zoom / rotate features to get a close look at the model.
https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/97038
Test Patch A10
Skin Viewer in Garage - Click "Viewer" or Press S key
- Rotate vehicle with left mouse button
- Rotate view direction with right button
- Use mouse wheel to zoom in and out
- Select lighting mode, background colour or LOD
- Reload button or auto reload while editing a skin

If you use Test Patch A9, do you get a message "Cross-texture triangle found in LODx - mapping corrected" when you enter the garage?
If so then you have the model fault described here. https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1985581#post1985581
Test Patch A9:
You can now export a skin template from the garage screen
- In the "Colours" tab select 1024 or 2048 size
- Click "Generate Skin Template"
- Select a skin template or wireframe guide
- The resulting image is copied to the clipboard
More translations have been updated - thank you translators

A lot of people have been confused by this message. It had to be set to this due to a small bug. Although it's factually true, your user name and password are confirmed - that is a good thing.
I've now fixed that so it now shows a more welcoming message, as in older versions, if you use test patch A7.

OK, the reason for this is known.
It's the same reason as that texture flipping bug above. This bug comes up when a SIDE mapping (with a main cutout and an opposite cutout) is wrongly applied to triangles that cross between both sides of the model. LFS can't deal with this situation. All it can do is avoid a program crash.
In Test Patch A7 you see this message in the garage: Cross-texture triangle found in LOD2 - mapping corrected
If you see this message, the model needs that fix for the mappings, described above. Otherwise it can get a flipped texture in the garage and you sometimes get the collision bug.
The correct way to set the mappings for LOD3 meshes is shown in Flame's post and my post here:
https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1985902#post1985902
And in the case of the MRG V8 I also saw the problem on the roof in the LOD2 mesh:

Thank you for the report. Yes, I do believe it is connected with that helpful message that is now displayed in Test Patch A7.
I've now reported the bug on the mod's comment thread.
For anyone who doesn't know about this bug, what causes it and how to fix it, I've described it here:

About the "messed up mesh after hitting a barrier", I think it is connected with the message:
"Cross-texture triangle found in LOD2 - mapping corrected" (which is a new helpful message in Test Patch A7) as reported by Yaper here:

We aren't looking at mods for approval if they don't have a lot of votes in all categories. That's what we are saying, it's a "community approval" system. There is no way that volunteer reviewers are going to be trawling the list of low-voted mods, looking for ones that should be approved, despite being missed by the community. I had a random look at some of the bikes and can see they are way short, in number of ratings.
We've added new ratings in game (from test patch A5). So it's easy to give ratings, in the garage or on the mods screen. I hope people will use the test patch and give ratings to their favourite mods, or visit each mod's web page by clicking on the comments link below the rating stars.

Test Patch A3 - Fixes and Improvements
TEST PATCH A5 IS NOW AVAILABLE: https://www.lfs.net/forum/thread/96942
Hello Racers,
Here is a new test patch: 0.7A3
The changes are listed below.
0.7A3 is COMPATIBLE with 0.7A
- You CAN connect online with 0.7A
- You CAN play replays from 0.7A
Please back up or rename your LFS.exe from 0.7A so you can revert to it if necessary.
Changes from 0.7A2 to 0.7A3:
Mods page:
Added 'class' filter (e.g. saloon, buggy, kart, bike)
Click author name to see mods made by that author
Mod images are cached in a new LFS\cache folder
Misc:
More updated translations - thank you translators!
FIX: Commands like /mustpit could disable mods in single player
Multiplayer:
FIX: Loss of sound due to excessive engine revs on remote mods
FIX: Warping (jittering) of mods downloaded after joining host
Changes from 0.7A to 0.7A2:
AI for Mods:
AI paths can be generated for mods with a drive system, excluding bikes
- Paths can only be generated in single player
- Simply add your AI and click GO
- You have to wait a while the first time the path is generated
- NOTE: If the vehicle can roll, the AI does not avoid rolling it
Regenerative braking for Electric Vehicles:
- Only for FWD and RWD vehicles
- Charging efficiency 90%
- Uses reverse motor torque as much as possible on drive axle
- Reduces brakes in accordance with the reverse motor torque
- NOTE: motor braking is affected by limited slip differential
Electric Vehicles:
Recharge rate is now 600kW * 0.9 charging efficiency
FIX: Karts and EVs could drive during pitstop (throttle now held at zero)
Misc:
FIX: /car command required capital letters for SkinID
FIX: Crash when saving setup of a mod that was not yet loaded
FIX: Crash with live settings for a mod that was not yet loaded
INSTALLATION:
A FULL version of LFS 0.7A must already be installed
To install the PATCH using the SELF EXTRACTING ARCHIVE:
1) Move or save the patch into your main LFS folder
2) Double click the patch to extract it to that folder
3) When you see "Confirm File Replace" select "Yes to All"
4) Now you can start LFS in the normal way
NOTE: You can see if the patch is correctly installed when you run
the program (LFS.exe). At the bottom of the entry screen: 0.7A3

I'm nearly ready to approve this mod, but I gave it a test and it has one tiny problem. The engine rotation is the wrong way.
It needs to be set to "clockwise". The setting is in "Object Positions" in the vehicle editor.
You know when it's correct as when you blip the throttle, the left side of the car will lift.
This is the case for nearly every car ever made with a longitudinally mounted engine.

I'm not sure if the unmoderated test servers should just allow any mods, although the thought did occur to me the other day.
I was hoping that we would approve more mods, but we still need more voting on the existing mods, and more time to get more mods that are good enough to approve. That system is not yet finalised, along with other parts of the acceptance and approval process.
I always assumed that anyone who wants to test unapproved mods at any of the world wide servers, could do so simply by starting their own server which is ridiculously easy and only takes a few seconds. I guess the hardest part must be thinking of a name for your temporary server!
So the answer is, I don't yet know if it's the best idea, to allow unapproved mods at our test servers. If we remove any need or encouragement for mods to be approved, will anyone bother to try to get them approved? But I think that mods approval system needs to be considered in conjunction with the initial acceptance system which has left our reviewers somewhat drained by the work level (and abuse of the system by a minority of submitters) and now there is a backlog of mods awaiting initial acceptance.
