Map loading screen freezes

#1 · October 13, 2011, 10:26 am

Hi,

sorry if this has been answered before but I couldn't find such a topic.
When I want to load my map, it just stops loading it ingame after a little more than half of the loading bar is done and I have to close the game via ctrl-alt-del.
Any advice?

Ty in advance

Do you have enough memory or CPU power to run the map?

CPU power surely, yes. I have only ~20 % left of free RAM when i run hammer, portal 2 and firefox (and a few smaller programs) but that should still be sufficient I guess?

Try to verify inegerty of game cache. In the portal properties in steam

Hmm, didn't work out.
Often I can load the maps but sometimes there is the said problem..

Try shortening the name of your map. For some reason Portal 2 hates long map names, and it stops maps from loading if the filename is over a certain number of characters (no one's sure yet what that number is though).

There is no "N" in "Turret."
