Have you already tried to recompile reflections?

You might want to post your compile BSP log. I just started having the same problem, and it was because the BSP did not compile correctly. Compiling light reflections over and over did not help at all.

The WARNINGS node without volume could be your issue. Sounds like you have an infinite brush/brushes somewhere. I've had a similar issue before. Find these brushes in radiant and fix or remake them. Then recompile again.

"node reference point 2920.98 -240.84 356.52" In radiant the numbers "2920.98, -240.84, 356.52" are the x,y,z origin or location of whatever is giving the error. You have to open your map in radiant and look where the x,y,z origin of each of these errors are. Hope this helps.

Something similar started to happen to me, even if I compile reflections, I apply light grid and all, I still get the rainbow effect.

Post your BSP compile log. Original poster has for example following error, that might be causing the rainbow effect:

Code:

ASSERTBEGIN -------------------------------------------------------------------
