    Lately I have been getting this error when trying to connect to the facewan public servers. I don't know what is going on, and why it won't let me connect due to this weird error I have never received before. Some help?:confused:

    When you connect to a server, it sends you a "snapshot-packet" containing the data of all entities on the map - if there are too many entities (basically, everything in source is an entity, including props) the snapshot will get too big and you won't be able to connect.

    tl;dr
    some asshat spammed the server

    so simple...
    if you have this errer....
    just restart your computer ....
    or restart your steam or gmod
    there may be no errer again..
