Use less mods, they cause too much info which overflows the buffer.

Ok, thanks! Do you know if certain mods (i.e. Sound or survivor ) would be more consuming?

Easy fix is moving all your addons from your adddons folder then testing one by one.

No it isn't certain mods, it just is too much at once.
You could find out which ones take most space and kick those out though.

That's not true at all

Oh, wow, yeah, just yell that's not true and don't offer a reasonable argument.

The game's buffer has space for 32768 indices, if you use too many mods the game has to create more textures than the game's engine is able to handle as it surpasses that number. Which is called an excellent overflow (of the buffer in this case). As you also can see in your log file when it tells you that "Too many indices for index buffer tell a programmer x>32768". x being a number greater than 2^15.

Alrighty, I'll disable some mods and see what happens

im having this problem as well. you know if disabled but subscribed mods can cause this problem too? i have like 30 addons but only 9 enabled. and im having this problem. playing the game in very high resolutions/settings can cause this as well?

I use easily over 50 mods at a given time. I'm not sure lots of mods is the culprit, however one of the mods might be culprit.

I've heard this overflow can happen with Hunter pouncing. Just as an example, Splinks' MLP survivors had this issue on first release. You would get pounced by a Hunter and the game would crash on the buffer overflow.

That sounds more like a feature if the game crashes for MLP fans. Please do not fix.

Go here http://www.valvesoftware.com/email.php and mail someone at Vvalve about it. Preferably a programmer you know.

Literally every custom hunter model can cause this problem. I'm using some cod nova crawler model for the hunter and probably crashed around 5 to 7 times in my total playtime with it. It's bound to happen every now and then.

yeah its like some models crash the game. i instaled a Niear automata mod and randomly the games crashes. some packs that has animes caracters for all survivors crashes as well. it should be a easy way to discover which mod cause problems.

exactly, as soon the custom hunter dives on you, the games crashes, specially if hes burning.

edit: you still play carpe diem? xD that joke is going too far.
