Somehow you don't have a good material on it, so it's not hiding the fact that it's closed (the leak-y stuff).

Make sure you have:
- no areaportal leaks (and, no ordinary leaks for that matter);
- set appropriate fade start / fade end distances in the areaportalwindows's properties;
- as Felix suggests: a separate (non-solid) func_brush with an opaque material, covering the opening;
- set the "rendered window" property of the areaportalwindow to the name of that brush.

That's all I can think of ATM :smile:

If your areaportal is set to closed, it will do this.
