Portal 2 Crashes When Compiling A Map With The Peti Editor

Page 1 of 2Next

Hello!

I have a problem. Portal 2 crashes every time i try to compile a map with the Peti Editor!

I have tried verifying my game cache a few times, it says there is one file missing every time!

It does it for every chamber, even the default start one.

Anyone have ideas? Thanks!

Open the console when you start compiling, and look at the log after it crashes (which should be in sdk_content/maps/preview.log). What does it say?

Falsi sumus crusto!

Well, I cant open the console while its compiling, But i let it crash anyway. Here is the latest entry into the log, But i don't see any errors

Interesting, that looks like a complete VBSP output without VVIS or VRAD (someone correct me if I'm wrong about this). Try deleting your bin/vvis.exe file, then validating.

OK, I deleted the file and validated. I tried compiling a map, and it still crashes. Here is the log:

That last log looks like the compiling finishes completely, so that is not the problem.
It may be that switching the graphics mode from editor to game is causing problems. Maybe see if you can update your graphics card drivers.

BTW if you are including large pieces of text like those logs, put them between [code]...[/code] tags. It saves a ton of screen space and makes the thread easier to read.

OK, I checked, And my drivers are up to date. Also, it crashes when i press the re-build button as well as the build and play button. So i don't think switching the graphics state is the issue.

Anymore ideas? Thanks!

The "rebuild" menu item also starts the game, so that would make no difference.
If you create a new map, and then press [tab], it should switch to a pre-compiled version of the default room. Can you try that and see if it still crashes?

Other things you could try are:
- run the game in windowed mode;
- reduce some of the quality options in the advanced video settings, in particular "shader detail" and "effect detail".

Those things could help if it's a video issue.

OK, I tried hitting tab while in the editor. The chamber loads fine. I Also tried compiling while in window mode. Still crashes.

Also, i have the Sixense Motion Pack, if it makes a difference.

Huh, weird. So if I understand correctly, loading a pre-existing map works fine, but as soon as you compile and then load a map, it crashes.

Now, I have never tried loading one of my own maps in the editor and then pressing tab, but I would assume that it would load the most recently compiled version. Maybe you can try that: if it also crashes then, it means that the map somehow gets corrupted while compiling; if it works then it is something about the sequence of first compiling and then switching to the game. Unfortunately I have no idea how to solve either of these problems...

Maybe the Sixense software has something to do with it. You could try deactivating or uninstalling it temporarily and see if that helps. I don't have a Sixense myself so I don't know what aspects of the game it modifies. Are there any other Sixense owners who have experienced this problem?
