Hi
After discovering the World Editor for Warcraft 3 Reforged last week, I've been making maps and wanted to import custom unit models from the site.
It all started well and good. I was able to import the assets, and when I used the models they showed up fine in the Editor, and they also worked fine when I booted up the map to test them. All in all, it was a good start.
The problem arose when I tried opening the map again after closing the world editor, whereupon the Editor would crash when attempting to load the map. I did some testing and found out that the crashes only occurred if the asset/model had been assigned to a unit on the map. Simply importing the asset into the Asset Manager and having them lie there for hours on end caused no issue. The models would work without an issue when first used, and also work fine when playing the map through the game client. It was only after the Editor was completely closed, and then attempting to open the same map that it would crash when loading it. And it would crash 100% of the time when you tried to load the map. By contrast, my backup map with no custom models would load buttery smooth.
I am using Reforged graphics, and if it helps, these are the models I've tried to use.

This seems to be a recurring theme, and I wonder if there is something I could do to prevent the crashes, seeing as not being able to use custom models would be a bit of a bummer.
