I don't understand how to fix this

How am I supposed to find out where this stack overflow is happening

my map has complex lighting and detailed brush work but it is nothing beyond the engine limits

ughhhh!!!!!

[Lord Sinister]

I could be mistaken here, but isn't it supposed to vvis before it gets to vrad?

 

Also, I could be mistaken again, but if memory serves you could set how detailed shadows are on particular surfaces. Have you messed around with that at all?

 

EDIT: Some googling suggests that it could be an issue with lighting on a brush that has too many faces. You could try turning complex brushwork for things such as stairs in to func_detail entities.

try making your lightmap scale larger (16 to 8, 8 to 4, etc)

THAT'S what I was thinking of when referring to shadow detail!

[\\Vincent Vega]

It seemed to be a grouped set of brushes with the entity "detail"

I fixed it by ridding of the entity
