Can't Run My Map
Hello reader,
I started making my first map today, and after a couple of hours, I wasn't able to run my map anymore. What is happening is I'll press F9, the Run Map options box will come up, then I'll click okay, then the box that goes through the compiling progress comes up, but once it's done it'll close and Portal 2 won't open. My computer doesn't freeze, and I don't even get an error. Hammer will continue without a problem. I tried making a skybox and the same thing still happens.
Any advice as to how I could fix this would be great,
Thanks
Edit:
Okay, so the problem has arised again after I had solved it once (though I guess that means I actually didn't solve it? Whatever, ha) After reading the compiling log, and looking up some more information on leaks I'm still not able to find the leak on my map. I've inspected every edge on my map throroughly, many times over. I found where the apparent leak is after loading the pointfile, though it doesn't actually lead me to a leak. The red line just leads right into a closed surface, I've looked around each end of the line. I also do have a spawn point and a light in my map for the record.
Excuse my noobyness, and again, any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I can't tell you what is happening unless you either PM me the vmf file or you post the compiling log.

Always make sure you have an info_player_start.

Protip: Use the VisGroup window to the right to hide everything except world brushes and see if the leak is obvious then.
Is it a co-op map? If it is, I think you need "mp_coop_" in the map name (without quotes).

Another possibility... If you are running with Steam in offline mode, and there is a Steam update, it will not let you run your map until you go into online mode and download the update. This has happened to me once or twice.

I had a pointfile going right through a solid world brush when the world was sealed. Just remake the brush, and that should fix it.
