is it the skybox?
I'm going to try it w/o fastvis real quick.

EDIT: Yep. It was fastvis.

wait just a minute!

now im getting a "warning: Vis decompression overrun" and the props dont show up in game.

Hint: use this link to check your compiles:
http://www.interlopers.net/errors/

Description:
I think you have hit some kind of limit in the vvis process, considering the process (vvis.exe) I suppose this is visleafs, if so, optimizing may work. You may also try to reduce the amount of props in your map, (grasses), I've heard this can help too.

yep i used that. but i get the error in game, so it wasn't in the compile log. I'll try that though, thanks.
