Additionally, v3.2.5 crashes when pressing space

Got the same problem when upgrading to v3.2.6 of BST. Additionally, I think the smd gets exported with 32+ materials even if, say, only 1 or 2 were on the mesh.
Downgrading to v3.2.5 has the export button crash Blender.

i can send a .blend file if you want to look at it

no, i don't

The mesh is in the vertex groups and parented with automatic weights

I'm trying to export my mesh and my armature. The mesh has the armature modifier and is pointing towards the armature. The armature has 2 bones yet when I export and check the bones in Crowbar and HLMV, only 1 bone appears and it's named after the mesh.
Could anyone help me with this? I need the bones to work so they can attach to the Citizen's right hand and not float inside their body.
