Blue Shift Focal Point crashes again and again

OK, so I've watched a play through on YouTube - no crashes, but for me, when I get passed the Giant crystal and move on to the small island hopping, everything is fine right up till the green pillar turns red and the Vorts start teleporting - I get an instant crash. The way out of this is to keep island hopping and it doesn't happen, but then it crashes again when your in the small Hab and more teleport in. I was really wanting to complete this today, and I'm stuck with the crashes. It's similar to the load crashes I randomly got before the update. Any ideas welcome.

Answer to my own question - ensure your running the Public Beta release of Black Mesa

Yes, its a crash fest with the "new UI" option, almost every time you open a console it will close down.

Try to lower textures resolution. I had one crash where the engine showed a popup that it ran out of the VRAM and suggested to lower that. Dropped that setting from Ultra to High and had zero issues after that.

Still crashes after every fourth save.
Lost count.
Everything turned down.
I am using the unstable divk shortcut.
The stable one runs the game like molasses.
