Bug: After a restart, Face Poser will not open

[TwoKrazy]

Describe the bug

I simply opened a few models, closed them, and restarted my PC. Now, whenever I open Face Poser, the window and sub-windows initialize, but then crashes at some point.

Issue Map

Face Poser

To Reproduce

1. Mount HL2
2. Open Face Poser (I did it through the SDK launcher)
3. After extracting npcs/personality_sphere/personality_sphere_animation.mdl (Portal 2) and gman_high.mdl (HL2), open them both in Face Poser (it's likely the Gman model is the culprit here, but I never got to test that theory, so I'm putting them both here)
4. Close the models
5. Close Face Poser
6. Restart your PC
7. Attempt to open Face Poser

Operating System

Windows 11 (not sure if it's OS-specific but just in case)
