This is a weird one That a bunch of people were getting when testing my new map. I've googled it and didn't really come up with much. Supposedly it's a steam problem that happens on some maps and steam hasn't released a fix yet. At least that is what some people are saying. On my beta version of the map it didn't have this problem, but on the beta2 version it did. It will pop up on the screen saying "error! reliable snapshot overflow" and kick that certain person and then it would happen to a couple of others. Anyone else heard of this?

It's happened to me before, so I know what you're talking about. Can't remember what map I was on though. Other than that, I have no idea.
Same problem on my map. Anyone figured out what causes this?
Happens a lot on the map I made. Prob because of the 300 func_breakables ?? maybe because the server has a hard time restarting the map? Could that be it?
I made a thread about it. But in the meantime I have halved the func_breakables or something. Havent seen the error since. But only been 6v6 for testing, instead of 12 v 12 like before

You can try this as well to try and stress test it.

Ok, the original post is really old but I thought I would post just in case someone is still looking for an answer.
From what I've googled it seems like you might have too much happening inside your map for the game to keep track of - props, entities etc.
My huge map is almost done and I was also getting this same error message.
I found that by removing some of the props the message went away - try this first to see if it helps.

nnnnnnnnecro bump, and to be honest, a very very unneeded one.
Answer is you can ignore the error, its just Source throwing a little hissyfit.

Sorry was just trying to be helpful - I found that this was my solution to the error.
I also don't know what the term necro bump means - I assume that it's because the original post was really old but it -the topic- was still unanswered or there was not definitive answer to it - hence the reason I decided to make a post on the subject. If a new mapper came looking for an answer and saw an unfinished topic they would think that there isn't an answer especially if the item is really old.
I tried my map five times and got the error message everytime. The message stopped as soon as I started to delete things and therefore I thought the answer might be helpful to someone else who might get the message - but I will ignore it from now on.
