Left 4 Dead 2

l4d_yama
Map conflicts with yama causeing it to crash l4d2.
So i just recently discovered that a certain map causes l4d2 to crash if you have it enabled while playing Yama, the follow map is called ''The Hive'' made by Texeon, i discovered this when i only had a few addons enabled ( while the rest were loading since i downloaded these addons from gamemaps.com and put them directly into my addons folder so they loaded up automatically as soon as i booted up the game ) and i decided to test out Yama to see if it would crash while these following addons were enabled, to my surprise it did crash indicating that one of these addons were the cause of l4d2 crashing when i played Yama, so i started test to see which one it was by haveing all of the few addons disabled and enableing one after another as played Yama and i had to do this before the rest of the addons loaded up, and after a few seconds later i found out it was The Hive that was doing this and yes i did make sure it was this map that was causeing it by disableing the addons except Yama and The Hive and it crashed still, i also waited untill all of my addons loaded up and disabled The Hive and played the map that ive mentioned about 10 times already in this discussion and it didn't crash while all of my addons were enabled except for The Hive, i also tested to see if the steam workshop version of Yama had this same issue since i had been useing the gamemaps version and it still kept happening, so to let everyone know if you play Yama while The Hive is enabled l4d2 will crash and gives the following Engine Error.


''297/ - infected: UTIL_SetModel: not precached:
models/infected/common_male_tankTop_jeans.mdl''


Also if this issue gets fixed ill keep this discussion up and ill put names of addons that causes Yama to crash to let everyone know what addons cause Yama to crash.

NOTE: im not sure if the steam workshop version of The Hive causes Yama to crash as well.



hopefully this discussion helps some people. :boomer:

The Hive campaign is known to crash other custom campaigns because of its custom infected population file. Only way to fix it is just to keep that campaign disabled when you are not playing it.

Don't worry i know and i also know this is a major thing that really can't be fixed with big maps like this one but i thought that i would mention that map would confilct in detail for the people that weren't aware of it, but even with that small issue the map is still great and it doesn't change the difference of it.

Damn it!! No matter what I turn off the Yama campaign always crashes at the same freakin' spot, right the beginning of the "Mining Village" chapter. It's been driving me nuts!! I have the Hive but I always keep it turned off along with a handful of other mods too, whenever I play. I think there's another add-on that's causing Yama to crash L4D2 over and over, and I have NO IDEA which other one to disable so it'll function properly. Are there any other mods, besides The Hive, that could be responsible for this? :steamfacepalm::steamsad:

The only other two addons that i know of that could be messing with it would be a map called ''Back To School'' or a custom addon that changes blood called ''Rainbow Blood'' but idk for sure if they actually do conflict with it since i haven't played l4d2 that much anymore.

Although be sure you downloaded yama while l4d2 wasn't running or the map may corrupt or crash randomly, this applies to any custom map on the workshop and sadly this issue has existed even before the Last Stand update came out. Sorry if this reply isn't much of help.
