I should probably start this thread before, bc I'm trying to fix this issue for a week of so.

So recently, I ended work on new version of my medieval harvest. In hammer, there are no problems, I did nescessery optimization, checked alt+p and everything. In compile log there were no big problems, here's my latest fast compile:

Normal compile looks similiar to this. If i'll find one I'll post it later.
So, whenever I try to launch the map, it just crashes the game and I have no idea what went wrong.
Here are bsp and vmf files to check how it looks:

There's probably some game logic messed up that TF2 doesn't like. Check that against the last known compiling version.

I had trigger brush not turned into capture zone, but after fixing that it still crashes. Except for that, there was no change in game logic from v2 to this version. Here's fast log with fixed cap zone:

Have you tried compiling without logic entities, or certain other entities? Have you tried compiling parts of your map with cordon tool?

So it's not logic's fault, cause it crashed without it. Now time to try cordon tool. Will edit this post and add the resaults.

"zero area child patch" on the first post. Likely a compile with invalid solid.

Ok, so logic wasn't a problem, but I couldn't find the issue by using cordon tool neither (after few times I isolated just a skybox, to try what will happen and it still crashed.)

zero area child patch
zero area child patch
zero area child patch
zero area child patch
zero area child patch
zero area child patch
zero area child patch
zero area child patch
That's 8 invalid brushes, but as I mentioned above, even the skybox alone crashed.

zero area child patch doesn't usually cause crashes. Press and hold alt and press p to open error dialog. Fix errors there if any.

Did you happen to mess with the light map? Not to long ago I changed the light map from 16 to 64 on a map and it gave the "zero area child patch" until I changed it to 32.

As for the crashing, is the map crashing the game tf2 or the server?

I did nescessery optimization, checked alt+p and everything.

Actually, the only "error" it shows is that there's no info_player_start.

Did nothing to lightmap grid.

Looks like it's map's fault at some point.

so, uh. remake the skybox if this is causing it?

Or perhaps there is just something wrong with the VMF in general which somehow screws up the bsp? Try copy pasting all objects into a new vmf? :/

When is the map crashing anyway? Right when you load it or after some time playing?

Ok, so after renameing the file, it somehow helped and opens normaly... I will never understand source engine.
