Custom map: hitting something with crowbar = crash

Black Mesa Archive In-game Issues
#1

I made this little test map that I wanted to work on. But when I load the map and hit something with the crowbar, the game crashes.
I don’t know where the problem is. I verified the cache several times, even deleted all files except bigger vpks and re-downloaded everything, but it didn’t help.

I have the same issue with my maps.
So far the workaround is to load the first map of Black Mesa, let it load for a couple seconds and then change to your map.

So:

  1. Start Black Mesa Inbound map
  2. map

The reason it crashes is because a particle is spawned and its not loaded thus the game crashes.
No idea why they don’t load for custom maps.

Thanks, that helped.
