After an incident where I accidentally deleted half my etmain (not gonna explain it… but it involved redownloading ET in an attempt to get lagless 100 maxpkts), i get an error … (VM_Create on game failed) whenever i try to host a server through ET, or /devmap. Basicly my game shuts down and console says VM_Create on game failed… anyone know what this is, means and how to fix it?
VM_Create on game failed ?

Most of the times there is a more specific error message printed to the console, just above these terminal errors. What does it say there?

Seems there is no obvious message in the log. However, the line 13550 files in pk3 files does seem to worry me a little. It could be that you have too many pk3 files in your etmain directory.
If you want to host a server, make a copy of your whole W:ET folder and keep only the necessary pk3’s. Even if this wouldn’t be the cause of the error, it would save your server quite some overhead.
