TUTORIAL: How to fix CoF crashing after camera part
This will also fix the freeze/crash after the camera X part, overall bugs, and the padlock door crash.

This will only work if you run the game on an external hard drive or separate drive

Overview:
For three years I was unable to play the game, because I had that problem you've had; you just finished the camera part and then the music comes in but nothing happens. The game freezes/crashes.
But say you were able to get passed that part and actually play Chapter One, only to have the game crash around the padlocked door area.
You've tried everything; verrified the game's files, uninstalled and reinstalled, installed that 64bit "patch" only to have nothing work.

Well after three years, I found the solution.
Remember, this will only work if your game is ran from an external hard drive or separate drive

The solution is simple:
1. Uninstall game from your external/separate drive.
2. Go to Steam>Settings>Downloads>"Content Libraries">click "Steam Library Folders">click "Add Library Folder">create a library folder somewhere on your C drive
3. Install game on your C drive.

Yes, as unbelievable as it may sound, installing the game on your C drive does fix the problem. At least it did for me, because the game was 100% broken for me before doing that.

Reason?
Because the way the GoldSource (and regular Source) codes are set up, sometimes having games in any other drive other than the C drive will not work correctly.
