"Failed to lock vertex buffer".
So i've been doing some research about this recently. I tried everything that could possibly help but to no avail. I accept any kind of information. Thank you.

Speaking of "information", we have none here really, from what you have given so far.

What is that error message from exactly, if it is indeed an error message ?

Alright, it happens when I join a Garry's Mod server. When the map loads, game crashed and this pops up.

failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer: nVertexCount=(random number) ,nFirstVertex=(random number)

That does not sound even possible, the way you described it. And since you have no idea, that means you have no idea how that may affect this error that you have.

I can only suggest that you make a thread in the Garry's mod fourm and ask about it if you can launch the game from your Steam library without crashes or other errors and at least start the game from Steam and then it only crashes when you join a server as you have described here.

Did you seriously look through all of those search results I have linked above ? There were 7 pages of results for the terms I used.

Yes, i actually did. And looking back on the crash files, it probably is a render problem.
anyways thank you.
