tf2 crashes as soon as I capture a flag

help: tf2 crashes as soon as I capture a flag.
It is not map specific (it happens on 2fort too)
It is not threadedness specific (both single and multithreaded work fine)
I have never had this problem before.
I have ferified the game cache

it makes map testing quite difficult

have you messed with the flags particles?

^^^ that's what my problem was anyways :facepalm:

edit: wait, capture or pickup?

I really don't know what could fuck up on captures :\

capture, basicly it freezed when you enter the capture area with the flag.
but I already fixed it by removing the particles folder
