Are you sure you have created a light entity? Cause I had the EXACT problem you have. You will still be able to run a map without a light environment. I'd check that first.
I'll give that a try first.

i'd have to take a look at it to be able to tell. can you post a picture of hammer with a view of the sky box and a couple more of the area you're having troubles with!?

to compile maps i use a modification of the zhlt compiler. it's available in the sven coop forums somewhere lol. use zhlt though... it's just a better compiler than the one that comes with hammer. i would recommend using 1 single .wad which you can create using wally(i think). there are also certain command lines which increase compile time but reduce errors like -full or -fast. you can google zhlt command reference to check out what each do.

most likely the area is too big or there is sloppy brush work everywhere.

I had that issue aswell before. But then I created light environment thingy and it was gone.

Could have placed a bad texture as well. Are you using a custom wad or stock?

Are you rendering with hammer? I recommend a dif program but the name escapes me - ill find it and edit this. Could be too many vis leafs or you're making too many faces on your blocks. The view distances in your environment can be too long as well. There is a brush that is invisible and just used to shorten rendering views / fix fps. You could have placed a corrupted or "shitty" model in the map. Sky boxes that fit the map improve fps as well instead of the hallow skybox technique but are always a pain. I'm on my phone so when I get to a computer I might be able to help better

I've been working on a map as of recent and I've noticed that in game when I'm testing it out, my fps drops 50-70 frames when I look from one side of the route to the other. I've been using "nodraw/null" textures for all my walls and just texturing the faces players can actually see so the game doesn't have to render extra faces.

What are ways to fix fps drops in maps? I have no leaks and I have a fairly tight sky box.

Any help would be great, thanks.
