Weird crashing issue - prop physics inside primitives

The calculated Chaos guys sent me this email:

'We tested the _a3 version on our full 30 slot server just now and it crashed again. Not soon, but later on when 2-3 points were already capped... If the crash is not caused by the entities, have a look at your physics props so that their "bounding box" isn't inside a wall. Sometimes that can cause stuff like this, even if nothing hits them'

So basically, I have some prop_dynamics tied to doors and trains (what Unreal mappers would call "movers") that move through walls and primitives. Could this cause a crash partway into play?

I can not think how this would effect anything unless you have an event happen after a certain time or on a certain capture that relates to anything to do with the entity. Maybe if one of the props have to go through a brush, make sure that it is not solid, this may help.

Actually, we made it all the way to the cap in the first round. It was only in the second it crashed - so it might be their server.

It also might just be that it is a larger map, so needs to have more entities stripped out.

I'm going to try to get a few more playtests done, to see if it crashes again.
