SFM Hammer: What could be causing this texture thing?

[Negan]

Hi, im trying to fix this:

As you can see when I move away the textures flicker. Do you spot anything on Hammer?

Everything else looks good, it's just the textures on certain faces problem. Cordon is enabled because I don't need the rest of the map for the scene. It compiles with no errors. I've been trying to find what's up for a week. Any help much appreciated.

Further investigations proved that narrowing the map with the Cordon tool stops the tall building windows texture from flickering. Any explanations?

Even further testings and I have narrowed down the problem: It's when I enable Func_detail on visgroups that the flickering of textures happens. If I compile with everything else enabled things seem normal:

So now the question is: How could this be solved? any workarounds?

Log of this compile:

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

Compile with Func detail enabled:

Is the flickering happening when you do a render in SFM? I've had this issue before but it doesn't actually change the outcome of the render. Source man, it does weird things.

Yes, its flickering on rendering as well:

Why tf does this happen? there has to be a way to fix this. It's something to do with func details. I wish I could find a way. I love this map and I want to animate on it. Why? there has to be a solution. Let's think together.

Did you try to apply a texture as an overlay that isn't supposed to be used as one? That's the only thing I can think of that causes flicker.

Here is all information on the building texture that flickers:

wall04.vmt:

LightmappedGeneric
{
$baseTexture "concrete/wall04"
$surfaceprop concrete
}

And from the smaller buildings to the side:

composite006.vmt:

LightmappedGeneric
{
$baseTexture "buildings/composite006"
"%keywords" l4d2
$envmap env_cubemap
//$basealphaenvmapmask 1
$envmaptint "[ .5 .5 .5 ]"
}

I tried commenting $basealphaenvmask 1 to see if something changed.

Any ideas? there has to be a reason.

Something interesting is that if I do the opposite (remove all but func_details) the brushes are properly rendered.
