First things first, i am really new to hammer. The map with which this problem accured is my first one.
First everything was fine, but after i did the displacements, tf2 opened an older version of my map after the compiling. Probably it was because of a non-quad displacement. After i changed all my displacements to normal brushes, the compilelog still tells me there is an non-quad displacement and tf2 is still opening an older version of the map after the compiling.
The ID of the brush which should be the non-quad diplacement according to the compilelog does not even exist. I did the compiling with normal BSP, fast VIS and fast RAD.
This is my compilelog:

The brush at fault in the compile log is identified as #567. Press Ctrl+Shift+G to open the "Go to brush" dialog and enter 567 there, it should place the brush at the center of your view, delete it and remake it.

You have a displacement that's not 4 sided. You can only have 4-sided displacements, any other number of sides causes the compiler to quit.

In Hammer, press Ctrl+Shift+G to go the the Go to brush menu. In this case brush number 567 is the cause of your issue, so type it in and let Hammer take you to the faulty brush. However, keep in mind that the compiler stops as soon as it finds critical errors like this, so there's a chance more brushes are faulty and need to be rebuild.

at your vis groups, uncheck everything but displacements. Now only your displacements are visible. Check if you see anything strange.

TF2 opens an older version because vbsp is crashing out, so vvis and vrad are using an old version. While chasing vbsp errors you should turn off vvis and vrad completely because it's just wasting time running them at all if it's vbsp that's crashing. In your case, it'd save 2 and a half minutes every time you try and see if it's fixed.


However, in your case I think something has gone horribly wrong since it's listed as entity "0" and that's not something hammer is ever supposed to do.

Please post your vmf so we can find what the heck has gone wrong.
