You shouldn't hit that error, but i've had it before on streets of fire. http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/VERTEX_BUFFER_SIZE
As iv'e said somwhere, it's becous of you having a NVidia card and them beeing unable to render the entire map at the same time annyways, when making these bug reports, ALLWAYS INCLUDE YOUR SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS
Engine Error This popped up few minutes after map start, as I was commanding. The error appeared as I was zooming out in commander-mode, and I jumped to desktop.

itsf unny though cause it only seems to be happening on your map and only on some spots.. Like at NF spawn theres a building you can get up on (very high building). If I go in spec and try to view that building from behind I crash :/
From interlopers, the one-stop-shop for all your map-related errors: Do you have any big, complicated dynamic entities? Like big doors or anything? I haven't got around to playing this map yet, so I don't have any idea what may be the cause. I'd be willing to bet that it's a map thing more than a code thing though.
it doesn't necesarily have to be a problem with his map, as his is an exception having a a moving train and elevators.
Sadly, no it's becous of the map beeing to big try zooming out on urban chaos, might get the same thing
Grizzly: your map really is the only one I get these errors on.. Also like I already said: only on some parts. If I move outside of the map and view all I get no errors or crashes. if I look at the backside of that building at NF spawn I crash, even if my entire view is blocked by that wall... Anyway, I'm not questioning your ability to map, but maybe it's a good thing to look into? Just to be absolutely sure it isn't your map...
I'm pretty sure it's becous of the map having to manny brushes, or atleast thats what i think it is have had the same problem for ages with both SOF and UC, only now iv'e figgured out how to use hint brushes so mostly you only really "see" a small part of the map at the same time if annyone manage to figgure out exactly why this happens though, i'd really apriciate it (and try to solve the problem naturaly) but untill then, just avoid spctating if you have a NVida card ^_^
:/ anyway could you take a second look at that building I posted earlier about? I could send you a screenshot if you dont know which one I'm talking about. (its the one at NF spawn you can get on top of... the perfect palce for grens to missile snipe tanks )
