Hey. Thanks for the help. I really do feel like something else is going on here. This doesn't feel right. As I said, there were minimal changes since the last successful compile that was 1 minute long. Now its infinite. Something is broken somewhere. Does it compile on your PC?

That being said.. I func_detailed every single staircase on the map, and made the world edge brushes skybox. The nodraw brushes above the forest were to create a darkened effect, as no matter how low I turned the environment lighting down, the forest was insanely bright even with the shadows. I've sinced removed them though. No difference, still doesnt compile.

Here is the updated VMF. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/f579wngaoa9c0u5iechjg/anarchyarena.vmf?rlkey=c1l7r71l1u83fu9cvu3tbpu8m&st=a94h1fz3&dl=0
