Hello friends!

Got a small-ish render problem, the game wont really load the map and the one it does run looks like this:
EA93467C6ADDAC0DA88F8AE16B4D5F55865A0914


Here's the compile log. I'm guessing the whole "zero area child patch" isn't explicitly normal.

You ran vvis in fast. You will often have issues in-game with fastvis. Visibility often doesn't take very long to compile in a level with proper func_detailing so you should just stick to compiling with full vis. You also have a bunch of zero child patches which means you have vrad trying to calculate lighting for faces that don't exist. Maybe you have the skybox cutting geometry in a weird way?

Run your compile log through interlopers next time.

Also this:

Overlay touching too many faces (touching 82, max 64)
Overlay signs/hazard_yellow001_decal at -8.0 -288.0 0.0

Check that the overlay specified isn't on a displacement, overly complicated or carved geometry, or a really huge brush face.

It's the overlay.
I haven't had that issue for years, but it happened the other day to me and the exact symptoms were what your screenshot looks like.

Wow! It's been a while since I worked on a map from scratch, that website is awesome!

Problem's fixed! Thanks for the help.

Alternatively, you can use CompilePal to compile and it will automatically check your compile log against the Interlopers error checker when the compile is finished. Super handy!
