I agree it is odd. The level only have about 5000 of them and it is the regular low poly grass found in the original levels (VGrassclump03-00) and the level itself only have around 12000 objects so it can't be that there are too many objects.

And those GeomAdd "errors". Draco is known for sometimes add dummy text like that as easter eggs

Heheh. Well I'm not too surprised it's the grass. I'm betting the opacity map proliferation is straining on the engine.

I'm not sure that's it, Drac. I was thinking more along the lines of either nearly 6000 instances of
one model is too much, or perhaps the sheer number of models in one particular area is breaking
the partition.

Maybe the later. I did bring the max render distance down a lot..

I'm getting the same issue as the others, Drac. CE crashes right before it finishes loading unless you delete the grass instances. Which is weird because it's not like they're all being loaded right when the level starts, and other levels with a lot of cloned objects like TL1 seem to be fine in CE.

The log file doesn't report anything other than your non-instanced CAnimals (not an issue) and "DEV: ERROR: Unknown AT 1000 on trigger object "START_Existence"...not sure what AT 1000 was meant to be, but that might be part of the problem. I'm also not too sure what all those missing instances and triggers are when you scan the level with GeomAdd, though it might be best to just delete them if they don't do anything.

Huh, sucks that the grass causes such an issue. Wouldn't have imagined it. It works on my end, might be that high-end settings cause the crash. Maybe try turning those down before loading?

Are you still playing the game in software mode?

Nope.

Hmmm... what resolution are you using, then?
