I would look at the call stack when the Assert hits and figure out who is trying to get/generate the AbsOrigin for an entity at an inopportune time. Most things can be moved to require this data at a safer time (e.g., not during networking or rendering)

Looking at the source of the map which is giving me the same error. env_embers is used also in the map which is causing the asserts. Im starting to think valve isn't quite sure either, seems like this is a bug they are trying to work out. Sure is alot of Assert( s_bAbsQueriesValid ); in the code. I only see a couple of places where this gets set to false. s_bAbsQueriesValid gets set via this function void C_BaseEntity::SetAbsQueriesValid( bool bValid ) Set to false in the below file cldll_client_int.cpp OnRenderStart() C_BaseEntity::SetAbsQueriesValid( false ); CHLClient::FrameStageNotify case FRAME_NET_UPDATE_START: C_BaseEntity::SetAbsQueriesValid( false ); r00t 3:16 CQC Gaming www.cqc-gaming.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Imperio59" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 9:51 PM Subject: [hlcoders] Re: C_Embers::C_Embers() causing a "rare" assert. > Well i made a function that returns s_bAbsQueriesValid, and put an if > block around the statement in C_Embers(). > The problem is coming from SortOrigin from CSimpleEmitter that is > causing this to happen, so i'm guessing all particle entities are > concerned.
