Addressing the Lightning Dog Crashes (Looking for help!)
This bug has been the bane of my existence while working on this map. I've redid the segment multiple times now and the problem seems to surface over and over again. So, in order to finally try and squash it, I am asking those who experience the bug to reply to this thread with either a video showing where and when the crash occurs, or a message reaching out to me to work 1-on-1 with you via discord to troubleshoot and test. (Also, are any of your PC components overclocked? I'm starting to have a sneaking suspicion it might be related. Not 100% assured, but suspicious.)

Thanks for your responses: I'll see how I can factor this into making a patch.

This happens to me every time. I cannot progress past the point where the 2 dogs run through the wall. Game is running perfectly smooth, no performance problems at all. It's the only mod enabled and I am not overclocking. Base game runs perfect.

Hey :steamhappy:

Great map (so far...)! It happens every time the (1st) dog tries to possess its target zombie.
I was able to reproduce the crash several times, always exactly after the above action.
Here's a screenshot of the moment the map (& Alyx) crash to the VR Home space:

I hope this somewhat helps.

Hi I just tried this map through vault maps and I crashed when the other one was already posessing a zombie, and the other one I think was just going into a zombie in the middle of the main room

fwiw, I just played with no crash issues whatsoever...had to reload (due to death) around the L-dogs about 4-5 times, no problems. (Valve Index & Alienware w/3080)

Now that I've finally managed to make it past that show-stopper (dogs scene) all I can say is WOW!!! Great fun - really enjoyed this! Played on hard and barely made it to the end - perfect :steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup::steamthumbsup:

I have crashed here a half dozen times. I tried blocking the hole with a painting but they still went through (although it seem as if it might have slowed them down.
Have you consider just removing the dogs here?
