Matt B Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 no idea why this is happening, but for some reason every time we play vertigo, i get this error and my gmod crashes "failed to lock vertex buffer in CMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer: nVertexCount=315, nFirstVertex=0" any ideas?

Papa John Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Which graphics card are you using and do you force Garry's Mod to use Direct-X 8? Also here is what Steam has to say about it: https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9404-WRDH-5396 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa John Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 How much ram do you have and what are other basic system specs (i.e. CPU, HDD space) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigitalPrintz Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) How are you crashing matt? Is it a full computer crash, or is it only Gmod that is crashing, and does it just close out completely or give you an error as it closes out? On top of that, what cooling system are you using for your CPU? edit: saw it in the pcpartpicker, so probably not cpu overheating if you're using liquid cooling. I'd still suggest lowering the overclocking to see if it makes a difference, overclocking can be finicky with the way intel likes to put hidden failsafes in. edit #2: If it is just closing out completely, have you ever had any ram issues, such as while setting it up, it not loading properly, or other things along those lines?

DigitalPrintz Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 When the box pops up, take a SS of it, and give me an SS of the error file that it links you to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
