Engine error: ED_Alloc: no free edicts on Map 4: The Escape
I have been enjoying the map so far, but I got an Engine Error on "The Escape" map. The game crashes as soon as it loads and shows the error message "Engine error: ED_Alloc: no free edicts". Though I've already tried removing the all add-ons that affect the infected, the error keeps happening. Apparently, there is nothing I can do on my end with regards to this error, so I'm asking if there are any plans to fix this problem.

I read about this when I got the error, and apparently this error happens when there are too many details in the map. Moreover, it can only be fixed by the modder who made the map, although I've tried to remove addons on my end to confirm if the problem isn't mine.

To answer your question: No, I do not have that mod installed. I only got the CEDA vomit fix, and the running animation fix.

Is there anyway to volume down the music ? I can't play with my game volume like this ... too much noise in my ear i can't focus o.o
If possible even if its console comands i don't know i dislike to hear ultra loud sounds on top of music.

Possible causes of Engine Error ED_Alloc: no free edicts on 3ª and 4ª stage that I have known so far:
- Thirdperson RE6 mod or similar
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780173405
- Luminous checkpoint arrows mod and any other mod that adds dynamic lights
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=934602353
- Dynamic light and other similar mods:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2261165699
- High commons limits, as z_background_limit or z_common_limit above 40-50. Restore cvars to original values to solve.


With sourcemod, this plugins can help, but It's not perfect, it just reduce the chance, but it can still happen. You need to know how edit and recompile by yourself. Erase this line of the source code.

HookEvent("teamplay_round_start", Event_RoundStart, EventHookMode_Post);

And recompile. Now works for Left 4 Dead 2.
