I remember someone mentioning that VIS breaks on the public beta version of Black Mesa, but that might've been fixed by now. If it is, then I'll go ahead and fix it.

now with the new update out workshop mods can update fully so yea hope it gets fixed soon

I'm running the haloween update of BM, and I just subscribed to Emergency 17, waited for the download, and loaded bm_e17_m1 from the console, and it crashes to the desktop. The maps are in the vpk files, with no materials, etc.
Are the latest maps written for public beta, or an older one like my halloween version ?

I also tried loading all 4 maps, they all crashed the program.
