That lead me to believe it must have something to do with the new build and that it only seems to affect newer cs users. I checked my version of cs and compared it to this mapper and another buddy of mine who for some reason could load the map with no problem. So, continuing my story, I then abandoned the idea that it was something the mapper had done to/with his maps and began wondering if it had something to do with the most recent build added to the game. Here is a download link to the map 'kz_brickfacility' which was the map i originally noticed the problem with: Looking more into the issue I spoke to the creator and he had told me there wasn't anything added to these maps in terms of entities or files that could be considered 'out of the ordinary'. That's when I then discovered that the problem persisted with two other maps, and ironically enough all of which were created by the same person. I looked through all of the map files, sound, models and maps alike and couldn't seem to figure it out.

(That is, when clicking 'New Game' and picking a map.) So, I began exploring what the possible problem could be.

As soon as I enter the server after precaching all resources cs crashes with no error report. So, as the title suggests the issue at hand is a matter of maps no longer working upon loading them.
