Sometimes, thats a scenery problem. I had a scenery file too large, or bugged in one of my maps and it did the same thing. It was one of my own custom sceneries or course... I guess Polyworks didn't like it :-\.

Otherwise, I'm not quite sure what the problem may be. I have run into that sort of problem several times, but each time I find some odd way to fix it. Often, it just includes exiting Polyworks and restarting my computer (happened only once...)

Scenery problem.... I'm going to see taking all the scenery off my map will solve the problem.

Oh great, an Direct Graphics problem. xD

probably, it's an access vilation. I have the same "pop-up" problem when I load some maps. Check your config and unmark  video compatibility. Change the font size to fix it.

You also can try to load a default map, like arena, and after load your map using the command /map .


Sorry for my English...

Ok here the story.

I went back on the map and take all scenery, but that didn't work. So I decide to take out some polygons. I don't know how but I can only test the map if it's 5,000 polygons or less. Also to make it worser some scenery I put in the map didn't show up when I test it. So far no more pop-up but yea it was an access violation.

Have you tied rebooting?
Is it only this map that creates this error?

Pssh, if it's simply a popup that comes up only once at the startup of Polyworks and loading maps, then goes away, ignore it. I get that all the time and it's not a big deal.

accely its 2000+ polys will make the map crash and will give a rong map version error if hosted on a server,or you could have passes the 500 scenery limit.
I don't understand
do you mean that there is a /faceplam commmand ?
and this command should drop a random item ?

Normally never go over 2000 polygons
never go over 490 scenery
never go over 175 spawns and colliders
don't forget to compile the map
don't make a map without any sceneries or the map will crash things. (you have to put scenery somewhere, even out of bounds if you really don't want scenery)
Don't use multitextures if your fingers are up ye arse or if it is unnecessary- it doesn't make you cooler.
etc.
