After i have packed props into my map, when i try to launch it in TF2. my game crashes with the error message "'engine error; failed to lock vertex buffer inCMeshDX8::LockVertexBuffer:nVertexCount=2204, nFirstVertex=0". This same error also happened in the previous iteration of my map when i tried to pack props. I have validated my game files since then.
I have looked around and have found no-one with this exact same problem, who has found a fix, so i really hope you can help!
