Map crashes the server on Windows
Hi guys

I'm trying to run this map on my server to play with friends (hosted on Windows), but every time I try to load this map on the server, it crashes with a couple of error messages like:
```
Attempting to precache model for entity -1 [env_cs_place] at -248.00 2416.00 264.00, but model is NULL
game\bin\win64\steamapps\workshop\content\730\3467065969\3467065969.vpk:maps\prefabs\3dskybox.vpk

Failed to load file (invalid)!
```
I tried to run this map on the server started directly from my game executable (on Windows) and using this modded server [github.com] (also on Windows), in both cases the server crashes.

But this map works fine when loaded locally with bots from CS2 itself or when I tried to run the above modded server via docker and wsl, so I suspect that something might be wrong when hosting it on Windows-based server. I can run other workshop maps on that server, so I don't think it's the servers fault.

Last messages from the server. [imgur.com]

Steps to reproduce in short:
1. Run a dedicated server on Windows using your game executable with a similar command:
game\bin\win64\cs2.exe -dedicated -console -usercon +game_type 0 +game_mode 1 +map de_dust2 -ip 0.0.0.0
2. After the server started, type in the server console:
host_workshop_map 3467065969
3. Wait for the server to download and attempt to run the map.
4. It should crash.

Could somebody from creators take a look at this?

Hello, not really sure. Never worked with servers. But I'll try asking friends who host the map on their servers for playtesting
We also tried this on our server tonight. It crashed the server as well when loaded. Had to remove it immediately.

Hi Shawn, was it a window's server as well?
It's weird because the map is even hosted on faceit right now.
Can you get the server logs or error reports?
