Computer freezes when playing my map

[qpingu]

My game completely freezes anywhere from 2 seconds to 2 minutes into playing the map. It happens on Fast and Normal compile, and I can't find anything that would give a clue as to what is happening. There doesn't seem to be any connection between the freezes, other than that they occur on my map.

Here is the compile log, please see if you can find something wrong or odd. If you want to help more, I can upload a copy of the broken map.


Anything will help, thanks!

[lucky]

Are you sure it doesn't just freeze when moving in to capture zones?

 

[qpingu]

Are you sure it doesn't just freeze when moving in to capture zones?

I'm sure. It has frozen once in a capture zone, but it seems to be random.

 

[lucky]

Then upload away!

 

[qpingu]

I have gone through two run-through's of the map recently with no freeze in site, so I'm going to say that it's been fixed until it happens again. I had a giant trigger_hurt surrounding the first stage that may have been the issue (so I could enable it to destroy buildings).

 

[notalbanian]

If you don't want buildings, just use nobuild in that area. I don't know why people who have problems with buildings keep overlooking that.

 

[lucky]

Because if it looks like you should be able to build there and it won't let you, it becomes very frustrating.

 

[qpingu]

If you don't want buildings, just use nobuild in that area. I don't know why people who have problems with buildings keep overlooking that.

Actually, I have an area that I originally allow building for but then disallow as it can be used for griefing. I can use nobuild, but there might be some clever individuals who build their things first and I just assumed that nobuild would not destroy them.

Freeze update: I actually think the problem is with Hammer now! It makes sense that TF2 was only freezing on my map because I would have Hammer open in the background, and I believe the other freezes occured when I've had Hammer open. It might still be my system, but nothing to suggest so yet.

 

[lucky]

Hmmm.. well when it freezes, try leaving it until an error comes up. If it does a "memory cannot be allocated" error then probably running hammer at the same time doesn't help.



If your computer dies because you push it over the edge, I will take no responsibility!

 

[qpingu]

You can lock this thread, as it is not Hammer or my map that causes the freeze.

 

[Sgt Frag]

It always comes back around to that Pron download doesn't it.

 

[qpingu]

Actually, I managed to fix the problem! I went through the windows error logs (typically useless or too generic) and apparently, Apache has been erroring because I moved the htdocs folder and must have missed changing a reference. I've stopped the service and no crashes yet, huzzah!
