That doesn't explain why my own client (a DX9 client running at 1920x1200 with all settings maxed [using dual nVidia 570s]) crashes when one of those maps end. As does nearly everyone else on my server regardless of the settings.
I'll repeat this: Every map I listed is there because my own client and the majority (sometimes all) of the clients on my server crash when those maps end. The maps on that list that were on my server prior to the Pyromania update didn't exhibit this behavior until said update; something in the game changed at that point and started these crashes. Anecdotal evidence is that it only happens if one team pushes the cart all the way to the end; it might have something to do with the explosions/round end animations/particles these maps use. I wouldn't be surprised if its the client-side version of the server problem where random string tables overflow for no apparent reason when too many things are precached. Which also started happening during the Pyromania update, but got much worse during the Mann vs. Machine update.
