So I've got this problem when I run my map, when I walk around it sometimes many brushes just disappear for my view, like if the visleaves were completely random and broken, even though the visibility of brushes in this case also depends on my angle of view, not only the position. One thing I also noticed is how a lot of brushes preferably disappear when I'm looking at a lot of brush geometry from a further distance, even if there are exceptions.
Here a part of the map where everything seems normal:

Now I take a little step backwards:
http://www.abload.de/img/pic2409h.jpg
This problem appears throughout the map, sometimes I can even look around and see no brushes at all, just all the props and the skybox.
Also, here's my changelog; I already checked it with the compile log checker over at Interlopers.net but all I got was an error concerning cubemaps, some models I forgot to assign the right prop types to and some seemingly harmless problem called "zero area child patch".
For further information, my map currently consists out of two huge skybox boxes, one wrapped around the map and the other one around the 3D skybox. Both I double-checked for leaks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
