Try disable some or entire addon except the map.

I have already tried to do that. Nothing changed. And the most interesting fact is that if I play singleplayer online - the map doesn`t work. But If I will join server on this map, for example if my friend created it and we both use same addons, it works. Also these maps work when I`m playing offline and there are all addons, even uninstalled. Weird situation. Maybe I should re-install Gmod? This is the one thing that I haven`t tried yet.

Question(s)

What maps cause this error?

I Believe the "Decals" are anything from the "Paint Tool" useable with the Tool Gun.
Maybe the maps you're using are using too many Decal effects (lots of Blood Decals and custom Textures) I don't really know. Sorry

Same problem, preventing me from playing cool maps :\

Well, and this problem is still not solved, I even tried to re-install Gmod 3 times. Nothing changed. I also tried to delete all addons and start any map that didn`t work. They are still not working. The situation is hopeless I guess. Maybe this crap is connected with the RAM or drivers of the computer, but actually I have no idea.

r_decals 1. Only shows 1 decal at a time.

Well, I tried. It didn`t work. Just same console warning : "Warning: Table decalprecache is full, can't add decals/decalposter002a

Host_Error: CVEngineServer::PrecacheDecal: 'decals/decalposter002a' overflow, too many decals"

Hey how's it going a while ago when I was having the same problem I actually was able to fix it by removing any add-ons and had decals skins and materials and now I got one map I like RP Rockford working again so any of those kinds of addons you might have you definitely want to remove because when I looked at the amount of strain in the air it was showing me "0 1 5 a" as the amount that it was at and when I got rid of a bunch of add-ons at random this lowered down to "002a. So after that I get a rid of a few more texture packs as well and now my map is working.
I hope this helps out for anyone or if it helps out you I don't know since this is an old post that you have but if it does but a bunch of other people know

Oh, you know, I tried same method several days ago, and it kinda... helped, I guess. I think that you right . The problem was in some of texture add-ons, I dont know actually what add-ons, but I also disabled several game content packs (like cs:go, l4d, hl2 ep2 , and it actually helped a bit... and some of maps started to work). And I also have a suggestion that this problem can be somehow connected with possibilities of your computer, because when I had this "decal difficulty" I also had some problems with a hard drive and with the memory of the computer. (But It is just a suggestion)
