Need help with "ED_alloc: No free edicts" engine error

[dapper oar]

Is there any way to fix the error? i tried using the "-num_edicts" launch parameter, but no matter the number it didnt seem to affect anything, anything i could do about it?

you have too many entities

on the map

you cannot increase this limit

if it happens on map respawn, the issue is likely with a specifc addon doing the map respawn

[dapper oar]

is there any reason the limit is fixed? what does the launch parameter even do then?

[dapper oar]

also is there any way to specifically identificate addons that do that instead of looking through them one by one

[summer moat]

yes, the limit is set at program compile time, it cannot be changed after that point. The launch paramter you refer to doesn't exist.

Then why does this tutorial have it? Did the launch parameter exist before?
