Garry's Mod Time Out Prop_Mesh about prop_mesh

[Mari-Fey]

His game does crash to desktop, similar to the game being overloaded by to much things

We call it the godplate, as if you put 800 or so plates in one spot, and shine a light on it, almost everyone's game crashes.

Can i have a link to the test model? Might be because it's sending too much data to the player on connecting

Here is one of them, but even when its just one its know to cause it, it also been known to cause it on models with less and even with out a model entirely

Thanks, will take a look

[Mari-Fey]

thank you

[Mari-Fey]

Just checkin in, any good progress on finding out whats gone wrong?

[edunad]

Haven't looked into it yet, will take a look this week, since i have some time off work

[Mari-Fey]

Alright, if you dont have any issues I can organize my friend who does have the issues to meet up with me and record a video of what happened and get his game log.

can you get me the video? Will help tracking it down <3

[Mari-Fey]

Ill see if I can, some drama has apparently happed between me and the guy who was gunna aid me, so I cant really get a video of it now.

Only thing I might be able to think of is if the server has the addon, and user doesnt maybe.

Where you able to find or encounter any issues?

[Mari-Fey]

I was coming to check in as I remembered something.

I do have a crash log from my friend when he crashed.

@Mari-Fey hey, sorry for the huge delay, took at look at the dump

-Lua Stack Traces-

This typically means you are running out of Video Memory on your GPU.
1865(2228.896502):  CVertexBuffer::Lock failed !m_pVB !m_pSysmemBuffer

Seems to be an issue with BuildFromTriangles (native lua method from gmod)

I can try lowering the max default vertices

[edunad]

I've increased the rendering / parsing time, hopefully this will lower the crashes when joining a server. I also lowered the vertice default limit and now the prop should auto-split if that limit is reached
