Error Message on GMod

[The Prodigy]

I have been attempting to join the [HG] Perp 3.0 server. I have 1 download left and then my Garry's Mod will crash and this error Message will pop up: Engine Error- failed to lock index buffer in CMeshDX8::LockIndexBuffer

 

I'm not sure what the problem is or if there is a solution. My computer is crappy so idk if that is the problem but thanks for helping.

Failed to lock index buffer in CMeshDX8::LockIndexBuffer

 

Question

The game crashes and I get the error: 'Failed to lock index buffer in CMeshDX8::LockIndexBuffer'

 

Answer

Paged Pool Memory

 

The direct cause of this error is not having enough paged pool memory free for the game engine.

Please see the Paged Pool Memory Exhaustion topic for more information.

 

Do Not Alt-Tab While In-game

 

The 'Failed to lock index buffer' error may also occur when you Alt+Tab to switch between windows while playing a game and your machine is unable to allocate sufficient memory to render graphics when you switch back to your game window.

The best solution for this behavior is to properly exit the game to return to your desktop so you may work with other applications.

 

ATI Video Card Users

 

This issue may also be related to an outdated driver for your video card. To address this issue, it is recommended that you uninstall your current Catalyst drivers, then install the latest drivers.

 

1. Download the ATI Catalyst Uninstaller
   
2. Install the Latest ATI Catalyst Drivers
