MY map keeps crashing my game

[Kunny]

I finally finished the first version ofmy map and everything was going great but then when I did the final compile and loaded up the game. The map crashed my game and I got an error message saying their were too many "indices"

 

[Tango]

Try coping and your map make a new map file and paste it onto that. That works for me.

 

[MOCOLONI]

Could you please post either the compile log or the full error message?

 

[henke37]

Or just share the vmf file, then we can compile ourselves and see the issue on our own.

The VMF isn't needed unless the compile log or error messages don't help fixing the issue.

WARNING: Map using power 4 displacements, terrain physics cannot be compressed, map will need additional memory and CPU.

Not sure if lvl 4 displacements can cause your game to crash but you really shouldn't use them. Just use multiple level 3 ones instead and perhaps this even fixes your issue.

I see your map is saved on the directory created by the Source SDK tool; are you using it to compile the map? (unlikely, since VBSP, VVIS and VRAD are up to date)

Also, try removing the additional launch parameters except the map. I'm certain it's related to that weird resolution of the game.
