I've tried removing the problem by selecting all the displacements in the visgroup and setting them all to: toWorld. this didn't help. I removed every displacement out of curiosity, but after compiling that version the problem was still here. Can someone help? I love making this map and don't want to start all over again! Thanks in advance.
It's odd that you've not had any luck with the visgroups -> to world setting. Try copying everything to a new VMF, make sure all visgroups are visible and that everything is unhidden, then redo that.
Displacements converted to entities don't appear in the Displacements visgroup. They will, however, appear in the Func Detail visgroup. The only way to solve the problem would be to manually search for the displacement and convert it back to a world brush. This can be made easier by disabling all visgroups except for the func detail visgroup, then flying around and searching for displacements.
