------------------------

while i play the map in cs:s i get a whole lot of this in the console:
Warning: Vis decompression overrun

im aware that theres another thread with this problem but i followed its advice with no fix

obviously im having some troubles with glass too but i think its irralavant
(any help with that would be appreciated)

heres a screen shot of whats happening

as you can tell its making a lot of my textures invisible and the map overall unplayable

worthy to note also is that the map thats being played is a outdated one and ive done a lot of work on it which isnt shown while playing.

any ideas fellas?

thanks in advance

I think that Face List Count >= OVERLAY_BSP_FACE_COUNT could be a problem.
There's some info about it here: http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Compile_Errors#BSP_.28vbsp.exe.29

thanks

i followed a few links from that page and came to a set of 12 optimization videos.

i realised i had alot of optimization work to do..

i also read that in places the geometry was too messed up

thanks for the link

No problem.
