Weird crash 0x00163482 / 0x00154918 related to buildings

[PlatinMTA]

Describe the bug

When creating buildings you can encounter this crash. I am unable to make a reproduceable resource, but I can confirm this only happens when buildings are present and if you replace them with objects it just doesn't. I can somewhat trigger it on my own server after loading and unloading hundreds of buildings... but again this doesn't happen on a default server.

I have been encountering similar issues with this new element type since it's introduction, hence I often don't use it, even though it's more performant you are just more likely to crash after a long session.

It would be nice if we could pinpoint why this happens because I have been unable to find a solution. The server requests lots of IDs and has at least 700 custom textures loaded in memory and some other shaders, + at least 100 resources loaded. If I had to guess, having a heavy server "enables" this crash, and that's why its basically impossible to make it happen in an empty server.

Steps to reproduce

Create and delete hundreds of buildings until you crash.

local objects = {}
local buildings = {}
local buildingsAmount = 500

local state = false
function createBuildings()
	local x, y, z = getElementPosition(localPlayer)
	local int, dim = getElementInterior(localPlayer), getElementDimension(localPlayer)
	for i=1,buildingsAmount do
		if i%4 == 0 then
			buildings[i] = createBuilding(1337, x, y+(i/4)+1, z+2)
			objects[i] = createObject(1337, x, y+(i/4)+1, z+3)
		elseif i%4 == 1 then
			buildings[i] = createBuilding(1337, x, y-(i/4)-1, z+2)
			objects[i] = createObject(1337, x, y+(i/4)+1, z+3)
		elseif i%4 == 2 then
			buildings[i] = createBuilding(1337, x+(i/4)+1, y, z+2)
			objects[i] = createObject(1337, x, y+(i/4)+1, z+3)
		else
			buildings[i] = createBuilding(1337, x-(i/4)-1, y, z+2)
			objects[i] = createObject(1337, x, y+(i/4)+1, z+3)
		end
		
		setElementData(buildings[i], "test", true, false)
		setElementData(buildings[i], "id", i)
		
		setElementFrozen(buildings[i], true)
		setElementDoubleSided(buildings[i], true)
		
		setElementInterior(buildings[i], int)
		setElementDimension(buildings[i], dim)
	end
	
	state = true
end

function destroyBuildings()
	for i=1,buildingsAmount do
		destroyElement(buildings[i])
		destroyElement(objects[i])
	end
	
	state = false
end

setTimer(function()
	if state then
		destroyBuildings()
	else
		createBuildings()
	end
end, 500, 0)

That script will make me crash in a couple of seconds on my server. Can't really reproduce it on a clean server. However, if I change the buildings for objects, the crash does not happen at all.

If you have a big gamemode, I would kindly ask you to try to run that code or something similar and let me know if you crash or not. I am just lost on what to do to make a reproduceable resource for this crash right now.
