Before, I was having trouble w/ hammer. now, with portal 2 running the map. (its really a wonder I haven't given up yet ) after loading my map for a while, the game shuts down. no error messages.

in hammer, there are no leaks, no red errors, nothing of the sort. I've already tried recompiling. a lot. with all these errors i'm starting to feel very helpless, but that really isn't going to solve my problem.

if you need the bsp or the vmf:

zero area child patch
I had that in a portal map once, and portal kept crashing.
I recommend fixing it and also, I saw how poorly constructed your map is.
I suggest reconstructing it.

1. I'm recompiling right now, seeing if the problem is fixed after I messed w/ it.
   2/3.which areas? it doesn't look too bad from the inside. besides, this map is not very old, and still a WIP

EDIT: 1. okay, the map is working fine. turns out I had the properties wrong on a cube.
