-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] I'm one of the people experiencing the problem. I'm not sure what I could be running to cause the problem. It's nothing different than what I run and play any other map just fine. Attempting to debug it with a forced breakpoint isn't proving very useful. It would appears to be something steam is doing, and I can't really debug steam. We've been playtesting several maps regularly and this is the first map that this problem has come up in. Not sure where to go next with this. The biggest annoyance of the problem is how it leaves the system in a jacked up state that only seems to be resolved by a reboot.
