Hey all,

Whenever I run vrad with HDR enabled for my surf map, I get an error on the BuildVisLeafs line saying:

"Out of Memory Address Space. Texture Quality Setting May Be Too High."

There are no relevant threads on the internet except for this one:
https://tf2maps.net/threads/hammer-...ed-by-a-map-making-program.34857/#post-430473

, and it was miraculously fixed for the lucky individual with no sign of a fix. While I do use custom textures, they are all under 512x512, so I can't imagine that those would be the cause. On top of this issue, it seems like VRAD runs twice whenever I enable HDR for compiling, as the compile log shows VRAD being booted up twice, which I feel may be linked to my issue? When I run VRAD with no HDR, it does no such thing, and compiles perfectly fine. I ran my compile log through interloper to no avail, so if anyone could please shed some light, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I myself (for the past few days in-fact) have been facing a very similar problem with my current map. I noticed too that this is quite a rare compile/Hammer problem. The only thing I've found to be remotely successful is that turning off all entities gets me a normal compile log without the "Out of memory or address space. Texture quality setting may be too high" message showing up.

I've had that texture quality error many times. Its not that rare on complex maps. Please give full compile log with vbsp and vvis too.

I suspect your issue lies on so many faces that have light surfaces and visible at the same time that the vrad just chokes and dies off. Meaning, reduce lightmaps, find those degenerate faces while you're at it and nodraw every surface you dont need. You seem to have tons of func_details too, and i think those more complex brushes and vertex manipulations are having faces that dont need to be drawn.

Could be also that too much of your map renders at the same time, making it very hard for vrad to process and it just chokes because of that.

Try using -ldr and -hdr instead of -both. It should empty the memory between passes (as far as I understand)
