Yeah, i guess i could try to make more brushes like in that picture for corners. But the biggest issue right now is that I have 10 spawns for each team, yet only 3 or 4 spawns for ct and 1 for terrorist team. I have no clue how it is possible to screw up spawn.

I replaced all floors with normal brushes and plugged skybox against the wall. Didnt seem to fix the fps.

Well i have pretty much everything nodrawed that player cant see during the game. Unless someone enlightens me how to hint brush this exact map, this fps issue remains a mystery and only solution I could come up with, was to toggle vsync off. I have tried various different ways to make this map work properly with hint brushes but none of those have had any effect framerate.

I have read and watched many tutorials about optimization but I cannot figure out what I can do to fix this map. Also, blocking window and doors from the first and second room (in attempts to prevent engine from rendering the rest of the map) did not help at all, the fps at the entrace to the "restraurant" section still had issues. There are other spots too where fps starts to decline but I tried to start from somewhere to find out where those problems are.

What exactly are the main issues with that map?

Here is the vmf file of the map

http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file…667125704524898

I have all floors as displacements because i heard its cheaper than normal brush, and no drawed them all. But i do have normal brush under the displacement floor.

But if it fails the compile process, why am i able to play the map?

I would give the editor file of the whole map, but I have custom textures and models so it would not work as intended for others.

What kind of screenshots you require? Im not sure how it would help to show you some corner of the map where nothing is really showed.

I did not understand that fillrate thing, what exactly i need to do to decrease that power eating?

Here is the compile information:

I have this weird fps problem with my map. In certain spots, if I move (not looking around), fps drops very noticeably. I have no clue where to start searching for the problem. Another weird thing is, that if I put budget panel on, the fps jumps to normal levels, also if i turn vsync off it solves the problem. But I will not play without vsync because without it, the image gets scattered while moving. Another reason is that changing my game options does not solve the problem itself.

Budget panel shows that something called Swan butters takes alot of resources constantly. Also toggling wireframe shows me the entire map, I am not sure is that what should happen with wireframe option.

The most weird thing is, that those fps drops do not happen when I am looking at large areas, it seems very random also. I have tried removing lights from the areas where this problem occurs but it does not help. My lightmap scale is 16, tried higher numbers but it did not help. I have used func_detail as much as I can. Nodraw texture everywhere players cant see, also does not help.

I tried to build hint/skip brushes but the problem is not here either, because the fps drop happens regardless of removing stuff from being drawn. Also, the spot where fps starts to drop, has no fps issues at all while looking at opposite direction. Also the places where this fps drop happens do not have anything special or anything that is not there where fps is normal.
