Portal quits when I try to load map.
I accidentally posted this topic in the Single-Player forum and meant to place it here. Portal quits for no apparent reason whenever I try to run my map, even manually. If I try compiling it, It quits before any error report shows up on the console. If I load it manually, the same thing happens. No error report, no nothing. It just quits. I have run my map before, and it would run despite leaks and errors. Now it doesn't. No matter how I run it, it won't run. Please help

No, I moved your other thread to Single Player because you didn't say this was a map you made, you only said you were having problems with custom maps. Anyway whatever.

There's your problem. Fix your leak.
Please do not Private Message me for assistance. Post a thread if you have questions or concerns.
If you need to contact the staff privately, contact the Global Moderators via Discord.
Might I add that you can easily check problems such as leaks and other issues here. Bookmark that page so you can prevent problems and other errors in the future. You can also use alt+p in hammer. Great tools to use!
The more you give, the less appreciated it will be received.
Thanks. I didn't know that leaks prevented maps from running. Don't worry, I'll have a problem with fixing a leak soon, so you haven't heard the last of me! 
You better not just put a big box around your map and call it a day.

Okay, I removed all of the leaks. The game only does this for MY map, not any of Valve's. I don't understand it!!! WTF why is it doing this?! When playing on one of Valve's maps (Map 15 least portals challenge), I did come across this error messge in the console:
env_cubemap used on world geometry without rebuilding map. . ignoring: maps/testchmb_a_10/concrete/observationwall_001b_-448_-1408_-48

Honestly, I think something else other than the map is screwy. Is there anyone who has had this problem!? I'm strating to get nervous that this glitch may ruin alll the hard work I've put in to my map!!
You can ignore that message, it is saying that the cubemaps have not been rebuilt for some reason.

build cubemaps...
^I can't build cubemaps if I can't load my level! In order to build cubemaps, you have to run your map succesfully and type "buildcubemaps" into the console... something I will do WHEN THE GAME DOES NOT QUIT ON ME WHEN I TRY TO LOAD MY MAP.
I know you're trying, guys. Maybe is it having trouble finding the map file?
The only problems that alt+p shows are unused keyvalues, which SHOULD NOT PREVENT THE MAP FROM LOADING...
Maybe its something simple, maybe its something I could never guess... or maybe I'm screwed.
maybe you could upload the map and we can take a look around?
