So I have been frequently playing a lot and noticed sometimes my game will crash. It'll freeze, kick me to desktop, l4d2 still open but unresponsive. I also noticed that in my console I get a error talking about attempting to make particle. Is it because too many mods are messing with the server add-ons? I had a mod that made the creeper a minecraft boomer and that mod didn't have any issues. It just changed the color and the model.
it has to do with source engine in someway, the best solution is to lessens the mods, specially the ones that changes characters
I have this error occurs 90% of the time immediately after a witch kills me (I don't have any mods for witches).
When I have my gun mods on I see the console getting spammed with this error. "Attempting to create unknown particle effect: 'coffee_smoke' There's 2 workshop mods, Particles manifest and legacy muzzle support. Both of those mods are turned off. I don't have any mods that change character or SI models. The minecraft creeper and the minecraft zombie common infected mod I got rid of.
this is mostly because the game is 32bit, the game can only use so much of your vram before it thinks it's out of actual available vram and will crash. the few solutions are to 1) put the "-lv" commandline in your game launch options, this will make it so SI, CI, tank ETC will despawn once they are killed, instead of their dead bodies laying there, freeing up space 2) lower your game video/texture detail to low 3) installing lowpoly replacement addons (tank, props, si, ci, particles etc) even this, my game still crashes with a lot of mods, so it's never gonna be perfect
You may want to verify the files through steam for L4D 2 if that doesn't resolve the issue, a complete reinstallation of the game could potentially fix it.
