Hello to all.
I recently discovered an error (well, two of them) that I hadn't noticed before, and couldn't find enough info on the internet about.
When I play my map in game, it works fine. The problem arises when I go in spectator mode and exit the map or go between walls. To be precise, when I can view the map in its entirety.
It gives me two errors: "overflowed cclientrenderableslist group 7" and "overflowed cclientrenderableslist group 6". From what I could gather, these errors have to do with poor optimization... but here's the thing, I don't know what else I could do in that regard to improve it! The map has areaportals, hint/skip and the right amount of brushes turned into func_detail, it doesn't even weight too much. I'm still not sure what these errors are about (especially the "group 6" one, of which I could find practically nothing on the web), but I read they can crash the whole server.
I'll post the compile log below, hopefully you guys can help me out!
