Hello everyone,
tl;dr is at the end.
Since the recent update at the 2nd July 2015 I'm experiencing some silent crashes without any error message straight to my desktop.
The crashes happen between 1.5 and 4 hours into playing.
The recent crashes never happend when I moved or touched anything. They happend very randomly.
Since Gmod didn't give me any error messages I looked at the dump-files.
Here are 2 of them.

Looking at them we notice some simularities.
Both have
Crash reason: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE
Which might be the ram.
I looked at my ram usage and it was at about 1.3GB.
And I still had tons of GB left. So I doubt it is connected.
The next thing I looked into was the last message of the console in those dump files.
3819(2359.480893): CreateNoSpawn (instanced_scripted_scene): only works for CBaseEntities3818(2359.480871): Not creating entity 'instanced_scripted_scene' - too many edicts! (8160 current, 8192 max)

A quick google search hinted towards NPCs

So I did the next best thing, spawned 400+ NPCs and watched what happend.
To my supprise nothing did occure. Except big lags and a crash once you try to activate more than ~500 NPCs.
By that time I got quite demotivated and carried on with something else. But not without checking report_entities.
It returned this:

I checked it more or less regualy for the next few hours and it kept that way until I turned the AI on and off.
Now the "instanced_scripted_scene" edicts suddenly started to rise. Slowly but steadily.

Do you happen to have Closed Captions enabled?
No, I don't.
bump.
Did anyone find a solution yet?
-bump-
I too have been crashing since the new update.
[CODE]Crash reason: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_WRITE[/CODE]
That has happened twice. I really hope someone can help us both out!
Problem still exists.
Have you tried reinstalling Garry's Mod?
