Why does GTK crash?

(jampot) #1

I’ve made a map however every time I try to compile in any way, GTK crashes.
Its about 5000 units in one direction so that might be a problem but im not sure.

Can you please help

(FireFly) #2

my current map is about 8000 units in both directions and it compiles just fine, so I don’t think that might be the problem.
When something goes wrong while you compile your map, you would normally get an error and it just stops compiling; however in your case gtk crashes without giving any errors: so it’s hard to track the problem down…

Does it crash when your doing a full compile? In that case you should try doing the compile in 3 stages: first do a 'single BSP -meta" compile, then a ‘single -vis compile and end with ’ single -light -fast’

when it crashes it just freezes and then comes up with the windows error report thing with “send error report” or “dont send”, even on the lowest compile of BSP -meta

un-install it, delete directory, re-install it

(FireFly) #5

The window error report might indicate that something went wrong when you installed gtk the first time. So I would suggest the same thing like EB is saying: make a backup of your map (just incase) and reinstall gtk-radiant…
You can also send me the map by email (if it’s under 10MB) And I can try to compile it on my computer, If it also crashes on my computer we know it’s probably the map itself that causes the crash and not radiant… Just let me know…

you say it crashes when it compiles

have you tried compiling using .bat file to compile independantly of GTK
