PSA

Post Body

When: Since Monday's update What: Players may crash out if a player with a server-set custom model dies Game Modes affected: PropHunt, Freak Fortress 2 (depends on the bosses), servers using Model Manager (depends on the models)

Basically, if a player dies while they have a custom model, anyone whose client is rendering that model may crash to desktop. This definitely affects Windows (I've tested it) and may also affect Linux and OSX clients.

Avoid PropHunt and PropHunt Redux servers for now as nearly every prop they use are affected by this bug. I'm not sure if PropHunt NG is also affected.

I've already sent Valve's Eric Smith a .dmp file of the crash, so hopefully this will help them figure out what's causing the crash.
