TF2 program chashes when 'waiting for players'

[Mozz_Gaming]

the map renders fine as but when i spawn in the timer for 'waiting for players' comes up and stars from 28 seconds which i know is normal. however, the game crashes when that timer hits 1 or 2 seconds left. i checked to see if it does it on any other map (such as ctf_2fort) but they all work fine just my map.

the map i am building is a deathrun map but i went over all the buttons and triggers and even checked for leaks and all of that is fine. what i did notice is that if i ask hammer to load a portal file for the map it cannot find it for the specific map.

here is the log report for hammer's render of the map (the leak listed in their is really odd too as shown in the image provided):

If you would just like to test the map, use mp_waitingforplayerscancel 1 to get rid of the timer, but not sure what the problem is, or how to fix it when playing it on a server. It may be to do with the gamemode logic, but I've never seen that happen before.

after adding that command in and even adding a tf_logic_arena it still does it within the exact same time span of the wating for players clock :/

A leak!
From the screenshot it looks like the origin of one or more of your buttons is in the void.

well funny enough right when you message, i fixed that leak issue by just building a box around it and as for my freezing issue it was one of my path_tracks trying to tell the cart to go back to the beginning but attempting to it freezes, now my issue is trying to make the cart teleport to the start again and move again on repeat :/ thanks for the help guys

 

[Izotope]

trains have a TeleportToPathtrack input you could use.

 

[Lampenpam]

There are plenty of errors in the log plus looking at the screenshot it looks like you did the beginner error of making big skybox-boxes around your map, which is very unoptimized. Dont ever box in your map like that.
Instead seal the map with skyboxb brushes where the sky is. The floor should be sealed solid brushes too. You can do this by placing nodraw brushes behind elements that do not seal.

 

[Harritron]

Just create a giant nodraw brush around the map and group it, therefore if you need to extend it, you just increase the length of it.

Couple notes:
1. This should only be a temporary solution used for testing. Doing this will reduce your map's optimization. Never release a map like this- a proper map should have the skybox where the sky is and the ground sealing the map.
2. Cordon tools ( ) can simplify this process.

Sorry about that, I was just trying to think of a temporary solution. Next time I will keep my mouth shut.

You don't have to keep your mouth shut. Instead, learn from those who know so you can deliver better solutions. What you suggested wasn't bad, like you said it's a good temporary solution to test what the problem is- specifically, to see if removing any leaks can fix it. I just came in to elaborate on your suggestion. Instead of silencing yourself, learn from the pros so you're better equipped to help the next person who comes along.
