There appears to be an issue with charger navigation pathing that leads to crashes on my servers (about 3-6 crashes per week). It's worth mentioning too that I don't have any plugins installed that would alter navmesh / SI pathing / charger (or any SI) behavior.

might be a valve bug. It looks like the crash is a null pointer read inside CNavArea::Contains on the this pointer

Based on this information, it would be that the charger itself ends up off of a valid nav area, and then when it tries to check things about its current nav area it crashes

Edit
Was able to salvage the SourceTV demo file, surprisingly still playable when interrupted by a server crash.
I'm sure it was this charger causing the issue

Though should note here that the crash happens often and happens on a variety of different maps.
If I edit this post again it'll be with more footage of different maps, in-case the nav-mesh needs editing / patching to fix the issue.
Edit #2
Alright, was a huge pain in the ass but ended up hunting down relevant demos via accelerator. All the footage is relevant to the crash report (i.e. stuck charger = crash)
After a charger gets stuck i keep it playing at 600% speed to see how long before it crashes. Average seems to be ~ 2 mins but sometimes it's less.
Uploaded these clips in-case it's possible for drem + kerry to officially update the game. Might have another hot-fix in the mean time.
