hl2.exe stopped working error when testing map - Developers

When I try and test my CS:S map (going to "Create Server" in the main CS:S menu), I get the error "hl2.exe stopped working" and CS:S closes. This only happens when I try and test my map, other maps work fine. I can't think of any reason why it would do this, it only started happening recently. It only started happening after I added a bunch of spawn points so I deleted those but that didn't help. I also tried compiling with HDR and with LDR. When checking for problems, there are none and there are no leaks when I load pointfile. I tested my compile log on Interlopers.net and it came up fine, but I'll put it up here anyway.

Hmm weird... Have you tried using a different game to load it up in? (gmod)

[QUOTE=Firegod522;18591805]Hmm weird... Have you tried using a different game to load it up in? (gmod)[/QUOTE] I'll try it in HL2 (don't have Gmod). Thanks for the idea. EDIT: Tried the map in HL2. Works fine. I think I'm going to start deleting things starting with the things I added last (before this problem). Any other ideas?

The compile log looked pretty damned clean so I don't really think any ideas could be given since all we also really know is that it crashed counter strike and there are many possible causes for that.

[QUOTE=SSBMMASTER;18595750]The compile log looked pretty damned clean so I don't really think any ideas could be given since all we also really know is that it crashed counter strike and there are many possible causes for that.[/QUOTE] Alright, I'll just start deleting recent things I added and hopefully I will figure this one out.

I know this thread is a little bit old, but I figured that in case anyone else gets this problem, it can be fixed by simply copying the map and pasting it in a new file. Worked for me.
