When this happened on my current map it was mainly down to the amout of cauked pieces I had regardless of Detail or Structural.
I then went through and recreated anything complex with mesh and so cut the vertice count down,I think,well it compiled.
See if it helps for yours.

Yes i also had this (see my post about engine limits) You need to reduce the number of vertises in your map by either welding them together or deleting the patch.. Such an annoying limit as it has left me in a difficult position to finish my map.

And I thought CoD:WaW had less tighter engine limits.

Try to make the patches non-colliding (only those that the players can't touch because you will fall through it, it also won't respond to nades/bullets)

Hi m8!

I had this problem the other day, so i went round at ground eye level and checked all the terrain patches and i had a couple of patches that were mis-aligned, but i also found that i had accidentally put a couple of patches on top which were floating fractionally above, dunno if you done the same but its worth checking.

Ian.

The way to fix is one has been more less explain: Reduce the splits in the brush and reduce the number of structural brushes overall. You can reduce the splits by merging brushes together after using the clipper tool for instance, as long as you have no concave hulls [CTRL-U]

196608 seems very high for a brush collision vertices, you must have overused the clipper tool

Folks,

I am still struggling with this problem.

I have no structural brushes at all.

I have removed all patches

I have not used the clipper tool (from my COD2 mapping days was always advised not to use it)

I am happy to share my .map file if someone wants to have a look for me, as I am stuck and have no idea how to proceed.

Cheers,

Hoppy

Anyone?????
