Hexen crash in map transition.
I recently downloaded the Doomsday Engine again, and started to playing Hexen: Beyond Heretic. So far I've had couple of problems.
The first one was, that the HUB2 map "Caves of Circe" did not work correctly. The puzzle triggers earlier in the sub-maps should unlock the central area of the cavern, yet it remained locked and thus made it impossible to acquire Cave-key and get further. Got through it with noclip, though.
The second issue is that my game just plainly crashes in the HUB3.
If I attempt to enter the sub-map Dragon-Chapel, the game crashes while loading the level. I was able to enter the map at some point earlier, but not anymore.
Since Dragon-Chapel is accessible via multiple maps (portals), I tried each of em, without success.
The crash log is as follows:
Edit: I stumbled upon a similiar issue while trying to browse a solution to this issue, it appears that the map transition even is the same.

The problem is in the save game system, specifically, the (de)serialization of moving planes (elevators, vertically opening doors etc...).
Until we fix the problem you can minimize the chances of it affecting your game by avoiding saving whilst riding an elevator or a door is opening.
