Strange Problem - Developers

[I][B]The problem has been solved, the displacements were too dense for Source to handle. >:[[/B][/I] For some reason my game freezes shorty after I spawn. Once it gave me a glon error, but crashed before I could copy it down, have not seen it since. I know it is a map problem because I tested out a few other maps too, no problems, I also tried removing recently added add-ons, did not help. The map is a small map. I don't know what is causing the problem at all. There are no leaks. As far as I can tell the compile log is clean. Even so, I posted the compile log below. If anyone can help, that would be great.

The only thing I found wrong is: [code] Could not find lights.rad in lights.rad. Trying VRAD BIN directory instead... Warning: Couldn't open texlight file c:\program files\steam\steamapps\theeend45\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\lights.rad.[/code] I don't think you have a lights.rad file. Try to verify integrity of game cache to make sure you have it.

Ah, I didn't notice that before, I will verify the cache now. Would not be surprising, since I've done the Steam UI Beta it hasn't been downloading games completely for some reason. [B]Update:[/B] Does not appear to be the problem. Integrity Verified. Also seen in other logs of working maps.

That is weird. I can't see anything else. Incorrect brushes maybe? Try the Map... Check for problems and load pointfile to make sure you don't have any errors or leaks.

Sorry for not responding, I went to sleep. There is no point file because there are no problems. I already mentioned there were no leaks in the OP. Besides you could have seen those problems in the compile log.

There's something funky about the VVIS part. Are you running it on fast?

You spawn on displacements?

[QUOTE=~ZOMG;21188905]You spawn on displacements?[/QUOTE] Why would that affect it?

[QUOTE=CoolCorky;21188990]Why would that affect it?[/QUOTE] If it is a power 4 displacement, stepping on it may cause the game to crash. (if the displacement point thingies are dense enough)

I never run on fast. You don't spawn on displacements, but they are really dense. I will check that out. [B]Update 1:[/B] Yeah that was the problem. Damn the Source Engine and it's shitty displacements! I really wish Valve would implement a real terrain system. [B]Update 2:[/B] Here is a screen shot of the map at the moment. It was just a little arena for me to do NPC Battles. [URL=http://img53.imageshack.us/i/gmcolesium0000.jpg/][IMG]http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/4546/gmcolesium0000.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
