Crash when spamming models/vortigaunt.mdl

Open stepa2 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Crash is caused by adding seven hundred of models/vortigaunt.mdl to outfit. Probably some limits for either models with 'Eye' shader, models with animations or models with flexes is needed.

He was probably just screwing around (hopefully in singleplayer,) spamming dupes, and crashed his game. He then likely tried recreating the crash, only to isolate the issue to that. If the game can't handle that many models, it'd be reasonable for the mod dev to try and implement some way to limit this, to prevent a malicious actors from just making a PAC that crashes all users with PAC enabled on the server on login, or possibly even crashing the server itself with this.
