Had the same behavior on one of our CS:GO servers for over 9 months. Isolated it to the game not properly precaching the materials for env_ specific functions prior to creation.

To solve it we now create 1 of each of the following at the start of the map (OnMapStart) prior to any player connecting, to pre-cache the materials properly, and have not had the issue since:
env_lightdynamic
env_particlesmokegrenade
env_smokestack
env_steam (this is the only one we actually found to be causing the crash, but we pre-cache any of the env_ calls we use now, just as a precaution.)

This was where the random portion came in for us, as some maps have a steam feature built in to it (grates with steam, etc.,) so it wouldn't occur on every map, and it could take multiple hours to rounds to show as someone may not use a store item that called the env_steam function till all that time had passed.

Some maps using env_sprites, env_beam, env_laser can crash the clients or the server.
Usually just use stripper to go through the maps and determine if it has anything that could crash the server/client then replace the input or remove the entity.

Same as the previous post I mentioned, you just need to precache these ents prior to players joining, at OnMapStart. No need to strip them out. Just create one at 0,0,0 and the server will call the proper precache materials for it.

I normally delay it until the first player spawn (I have bots) so I am sure its not going to be too soon and fail on the entity creation.

My post was to point out that some maps use sprites that do bot exist in the game etc so you could precache that material anyways

Not the same issue im having

Going over the tempent limit is a common cause. This would be particle systems, beams, rings, lasers.

Loading the map crashes usually points to decal/overlay temp ents. Usually you would see something like error, worldmodel not set up. This happens if a decal is on the face of an entity such as a func brush or func breakable, door, etc.

Check to see if you have plugins creating decals or particle systems. Also try removing infodecals with stripper.

Players on my ZE server (running ZR franug version 3.2) are just randomly crashing.
Couldn't detect a pattern yet

Maybe I will try and code a simple plugin which will be creating the different env_'s as mentioned in a post above.
