Left 4 Dead 2

View Stats:
Engine Error: too many indices for index buffer. . tell a programmer Ashe/Rochelle Skin
Basically when a hunter pounces me using this skin.

Or this skin which is based off the same one.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1572043541&searchtext=ashe

The game crashes with this error: Engine Error: too many indices for index buffer. . tell a programmer (41421 > 32768)

Only happens when using this skin and immedietely happens when pounced by a hunter.

So my question is, does anyone know a fix for this error other than turning the skin off? I know how to go into .vpk files and such so if anyone knows exactly how to fix the error it would be nice if you could post it here how to fix and then I or someone else can reupload the skin without the hunter pounce crash issue. Thx!

its a issue with blood decals on high poly models. you can fix it by putting $nodecal 1 in all .vmt files in model materials.

if you also have custom hunter model, do this for that model aswell.

ok thanks i'll give it a shot later tonight and let u know how it goes!
Why not ask the maker to fix it instead of reuploading copyrighted skins and getting in trouble for it.

That first skin is stolen anyway, won't expect that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to fix it.

Ok it worked I believe, if it breaks for whatever reason i'll post in here again. I did a playthrough on dead center and dark carnival got pounced many times and the game didnt crash only thing different is the model doesn't get blood stains on her cloths so she always looks pretty now. Thank you for the help! Also I posted in the original creators mod comments so hopefully they fix it, and said this:

I went into the .vpk of this mod and edited all the .vmt files and put $nodecal 1 in. It fixed the Hunter Pounce crash issue. Only thing is you wont get blood on the model anymore so she will always look beautiful. Hopefully the creator of this mod sees this and updates this one with this fix or fixes the issue entirely since they made the mod.

Otherwise there may be a 3rd Ashe/Rochelle mod up there if it takes too long xD.

Good hunting.
