I've encountered a pretty unfortunate error for my map. It happened once I added the final bonus to it. After looking around on the internet for a quick second I understand that this error occurs when there is too much complex geometry in the map. func_detailing doesnt really help in this case. I read some shit about this "propper" plugin that may help, but I havent done anything with that yet. I'll keep searching for a solution, I just wanted to post here to see if anyone knew.
plz and thank you
EDIT: fixed problem, doing a number of things (if anyone cares) :
-removed a few light entities that weren't needed
-had some faces that were on the outside of the map (no one sees them) that weren't nodraw textured, applied nodraw texture to them
-had a ramp that was just for show (certainly was "complex geometry") got rid of it.
-clipped off extraneous walls hanging off the visible stages
-changed lightmap scale to 64 (select all > ctrl +A)
-lined up two of the stages with the brown grid lines on the TOP view. I read that it helps one way or the other.
TL;DR: just the result of bad mapping, move along.
