MMod - Modded Combine Death Crash Fix

The Fix

The crash usually happens the moment an combine soldier gets shot and/or dies, especially when the Combine or Metrocops are using custom or modded skins with very high polygon counts. As soon as you shoot them and they enter their death animation, the game freezes and crashes to desktop.

I personally encountered this issue while running CMOD13 + MMod + custom Combine skins, but the problem is not limited to a single skin. It occurred with many different Combine and Metrocop skins, making the game almost unplayable.

The solution is to type "r_decal_cullsize 0" into the console. Simple as that.

The console command controls how small a decal can be before the engine stops rendering it. So it disables decal culling completely.
