I've checked old threads and found similar issues, but none being exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm playing Black Mesa on Linux with my Lenovo E585 Thinkpad.

Issue: I'm in the middle of "Surface Tension," right after descending the elevator platform from the building full of tripmines and explosives. Somewhere along the tunnel, the game crashes. Initially, it was where the vortigaunts appear, just past the dead security vehicle. So I backed up to an earlier save, and the crash point regressed to the middle segment of the tunnel, before arriving at the dead vehicle. That was when I was still able to activate Black Mesa. Now I'm getting an error message and the game won't load at all.

Error Message:
I get a popup window that says,

The program bms.ece has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check the Application Database for tips about running this application.

System information:
Wine build: wine-5.0 (Ubuntu 5.0-3ubuntu1)
Platform: i386 (WOW64)
Version: Windows 7
Host system: Linux
Host version: 5.4.0-167-generic

Solutions I have tried:
* Reduce graphics to potato
* Windowed mode
* Fullscreen mode
* Set resolution to 800x600
* Disconnect secondary monitor
* Move game to secondary monitor, in either windowed or secondary mode
* Run game with Experimental Proton Enabled
* Run game with Proton 7.0
* Run game with Proton 4.11-13
* Run game directly on Steam Play (compatibility disabled)
* Update Steam
* Update Black Mesa
* Verify game file integrity
* Various combinations of the above where possible

Things I haven't yet tried
* Reinstall Black Mesa (come on! It's 27 GB!)
* Reinstall Steam (ditto above)
* Update Wine (that's next)

Nothing seems to be working, and I'm feeling very "AARGH!" right now.
I think I might have to go ahead and build myself a windows system for gaming, and I despise Windows (it literally killed my previous laptop's initial HDD. Windows 10 + Seagate drive = bad.)
