"Sawdisc bat mods" crashes game

[Hühnerdieb]

I am on chapter 13, trying to bring Cho back to his appartment or brother Kwan in "Blood Ties" (Moresby) sidequest and the game crashes while attacking walkers in a back street few meters near the abandon house where Kwan, Nick etc are.

The funny thing is that since 2-3 chapters every sawdisc bat i made - the sawdisc is not spinning (the animation is stopped) and i hear no sound of it, the game never crashed in the jungle or in resort, only in "Blood Ties" mission.

I have tried to:
Changing resolution to low, lower texture setting, Ambient Oclussion off, less distance all those ideas bring nothing.

SOLUTION: I just equip another weapon to kill the zombies, so i do avoid to see the static & mute sawdisc broken animation that crashes the game to desktop.

I found out that i need to read a log and.....
No idea why i see errors on gas_cylinder_b_ho.msh & 2a_canal_wall.msh meshes XD still not using sawdisc moded weapons causes no crash in that place, situation.. so i am not bothered.
Anyway i only wish to make it known.

The only Errors i see in my latest crash log is:

sad isn't it? thank you!

I guess they are now for sale every time i see someone wants to trade in safe zones, or just use a toxic mod on every bat.

Anyone found a fix?

[Hühnerdieb]

i believe this is only something that only devs can fix, those stuffs are broken since years & by reading all the log files i found out pretty much things are wrong compilated, missing materials and so on. We cannot fix it - what devs must do is to find all this defect items/models or whatever and export them again.
Who knows if also a map geometry is also causing this... If this is the case i do not believe we will see any fix at all.

Damn, sorry for the late reply. You sound rather knowledgeable and it brings me some sort of relief knowing that nothing can be done from my side and the only thing I can do is avoid it. Thank you for your reply.
