Hurah!
I remember this was a major problem on COD4 until Amanda released a fix.
She found a way to free up a large amount of strings. I'm wondering if this can be done on BO2.
Here is a link to Amanda's overflow error fix.

I'll have to because I couldn't get mine to work and I tested everything I could think of. If it really does work I don't know what's different about mine.

Here was the script I used
StringTest()
{
if(level.debug)
{
display = createFontString("default",1.5);
display setPoint("CENTER","CENTER",0,0);
i=0;
k = 0;
for(;
{
if(i == 62)
{
display ClearAllTextAfterHudElem();
display destroy();
display = createFontString("default",1.5);
display setPoint("CENTER","CENTER",0,0);
i=0;
}
display setText("String" + k);
self iprintln(i);
i++;
k++;
wait 0.05;
}
}
}
I don't see what would make mine not work and yours work though. Ignore the destroy() and creation those were to test something else.
Edit:
Never mind I see what is making it work. I was calling it on the last cached string so it wasn't clearing anything.

ive been messing with ClearLocalizedStrings(); with no luck tho
no overflow
overflowfix()
{ //credits dtx 12
//put level.result = 0; on init
//call it on onplayerspawned self threadoverflowfix();
//put level.result +=1; where your setting the text no in this function tho
test = self createfontstring("default",1.5);
test setText("^5Jwm614"); //you have too have some type of text here
test setPoint("CENTER","CENTER",-190,200);//you can set the point to what ever u want
for(;
{
if(level.result == 60)//67 actual strings just calling it early
{
test ClearAllTextAfterHudElem();//prevents overflow
level.result=0;
}
wait 0.05;
}
}

After more digging, I found, that we just used this function wrong, this will work for example(really strange implementation, also).
Also I don't like this solution, I'll try to find the way to extend strings limit.

Overflow()
{
test = self createfontstring("default",1.5);
test setText("fuck it");
display = self createfontstring("default",1.5);
display setPoint("CENTER","CENTER",0,0);
for(i = 0;;i++)
{
display setText("Overflow on " + i);
result = i%60;
if(result == 0)
test clearAllTextAfterHudElem();//prevent overflow
wait .1;
}
}
bro i called that script onplayerspawned and wen i start match it just kicks me out and says: G_FindConfigstringIndex: overflow (48
: 'Overflow on 60'

You do something wrong then.

I looked into Amandas Fix and was able to free some strings -

I haven't tried to much but more can be freed up.
