Compiling Radiosity lightning takes couple minutes.

In the parth Radiosity Lighting of my map there were 4 times parts which takes around the 50 seconds to compile.
Does somebody have a solution for this problem so it goes faster?
When I place a info_player_start this problem shows up. When I don't have any entity this problem doesn't show up.

It's not a problem. Just wait a few minutes and it will be done.

You are actually lucky to have it compile for a couple of minutes only. There have been maps which took days (sic!) to compile.

Nevertheless, it may be sensible to compile (light) with -bounce 0. That will skip the radiosity part. Usually the lighting barely deteriorates with this flag, but the time saving can be substantial.

Absolutely correct, very little difference/improvement worthy of the time.

PS... Hi all the peeps that remember me under this or any other name

Good to see that there is still a few people with optimism for this old clasic.

Don't worry, most are not so forgettable

Still remember saying 'hax!' (and being convinced of the fact) when you owned me with rifle-only FT
