TF2 crashing after CompilePal compile?

[The Siphon]

I made an airstrip map designed for SFM. Now I finished everything so I had to pack all content etc. I used CompilePal, since most people recommend it. When I finished the compile the game kept crashing every single time I tried to load the map. I tried to do 5 compiles with CompilePal and it always crashes. Now I decided to compile it in Hammer and again, it crashes. Doesn't matter what compile options I use it always crashes.

There are no leaks or any problems with the map, only problem that shows up in compile log is that the skybox texture cannot load the default cubemap. I tried using other skyboxes, but they always crash, besides, it used to work before using CompilePal.

Why does this keep happening? I don't think anyone else has had this kind of problem with CompilePal.

Fast compile log

I tried one more compile with different settings, still crashing.

I completely missed the first two times you said fast, but try compiling without fastvis enabled. It can cause lower performance and causes some weird errors from time to time. That's probably what's causing your issue as everything else looks fine.

I tried several normal compiles without fastvis, but it doesn't work.

I believe Source Filmmaker uses a different version of the Source engine, but you're compiling it with the TF2 processes. Which Hammer are you using? I doubt there's any entities or I/O causing the issue, but check it with Alt + P. It could be your game installation or that it's being launched as part of the compile process (I've had a more unstable client sometimes due to this). Is TF2 working normally? It's hard to help without a VMF to look at to find the issue or test compile it.

I use the tf2 hammer for creating the map, since the SFM hammer crashes a lot and I prefer the tf2 hammer. I checked Alt + P and there are no errors there. I tested compiling a different map and it works, for some reason it's only this one map after CompilePal compile. Otherwise tf2 works perfectly.

The problem is this kind of crash is really hard to diagnose and there's very little we can do beyond double checking your compile log.

The only thing you can do is compile sections of your map with cordon until you find the section causing the crash and look closely at thst area for anything that looks strange, because it could be any thousand of things.

It's tedious and will take a long time but it's all you can do

I managed to fix this, somehow when creating a new map file and copying the old map fixed the problem.
