Game sometimes crashes when I get in a car

This has really been bugging me for a while. I can play most of it just fine, but around 20% of the time I try to get inside a car, the game just crashes. Anyone experienced this as well or have any fixes for this?
 
Hi Alec,

I was having the same issue [crash when attempting to get in a car] when playing SR2 recently. This was with current Steam version, 'vanilla' Gentlemen of the Row & Powertools to correct the timing issues. I didn't "always" crash but it would happen once an hour or so. Then it started happening consistently during Bonding Experience when you have to enter the car Peirce has carjacked.

I had Steam verify integrity of game cache (as suggested in one of the many helpful FAQs in the mod folder), then reinstalled Gentlemen of the Row. Now I'm able to finish the mission without issue and haven't crash on vehicle entry since. I don't know if this will work for you, but wanted to share my experience in the hopes that it might help. Good luck!

PS: Thanks to Idolninja and all the other modders for both the mod and numerous suggestions here and elsewhere. I've no doubt that I'd be unable to play this wonderful (and sometimes frustrating) game without your efforts.
 
Yah, try what Therm mentions with powertools to adjust timing, it was not needed on my system so I removed it. YMMV.

And as Idol mentions in his FAQ on this game it does run much more reliably in windowed mode. Full screen here the damn
game would crash on me 2 or more times a hour at the worst times, even with Idols GoTR pack fixes installed.
Windowed mode, I have managed to run 2 to 3 hours before a ill timed crash. I got so lazy in windowed mode I'd forget to save
as often as before. haha. All considering, in windowed mode it was reasonably stable on this machine, least thru about half way
into the game. I've yet to finish it yet.
