Expected behavior: Dupes will never EVER cross the checkpoint into a boiling environment without a suit.
Actual behavior: Dupes race in with no suit and you get no notification until they are already so deep in, low on air, and injured that they are impossible to save.
I experience this issue routinely - several times per game session. If Klei wants to debug it and fix it, I am offering to help reproduce the bug. This happens so often for me that my game is practically unplayable! I have 40 saves from right after it happened, please do ask if you want to see more.

- Load any one of the attached saves
- Throttle the computer's performance down so it approximates mine.
I asked about it on Reddit and most people had never seen the issue, so I think it only happens if your computer is struggling to run the large lategame, vanilla map. My colony has ~100 dupes and ~400 critters and my computer is an old gaming PC (see DxDiag.txt).
It seemed like it happened a lot during times where electricity or oxygen were spotty to the atmo suits. Weirdly, now that both are mostly taken care of, it still happens several times per play session. It still happens in this save in both the space biome and the lava biome checkpoints.
I thought what happens is that the dupe picks an errand on the other side of the checkpoint and then something happens to make the suits unavailable - either other dupes take all the suits first, none of the suits are topped up on oxygen, or the whole thing is unpowered. Then, because the computer is struggling to run everything, whatever code checks if a checkpoint is available doesn't run before the dupe has already raced past it.
Of note is nosuit40. It just happened today. A duplicant raced past a checkpoint that seemed to have nothing wrong with it - full oxygen, electricity because I just got the petroleum boiler up, and full suits.
