You need to run BSP and VIS for the information to be current. (No need to run RAD.)

After that, in the menu bar, select "Map", then "Load Portal File". Click "Yes" at the prompt.

Post some pictures of the 3D view with that turned on.

I made that thread because no problems had been solved, and I feel that locking it was not helpful at all as we have scrapped this map and made a new one, yet still nothing.

ok >.> to clarify:

we HAVE done all optimisation tequniques.

we HAVE cut down on size

we HAVE changed from carve floors to non-carve floors

we have tried EVERYTHING that we know of. we have made an entirely new model. if anything, the compile time is SLOWER.

so, any advice? because we are nearly at the point where we have to scrap this whole idea, and it would be an AMAZING map to put in

You probably can't speed it up, like other people said. I'm lucky enough to own a computer where I can play games at 8XMSAA

Just got me one of those. The map I'm working on used to take 25-30 mins to compile at final HDR settings. Now it takes like 4-6 mins. Gotta love quad core
