Ofcourse there are disadvantages of using -fast! :wink:

Compiling with -fast vis more or less equals skipping the vis compile. Unless you used vis_leafgroups and areaportals, your entire map will be drawn, no matter where you are. This results in poor framerates.

A light compile with -fast is less accurate than a regular or -final compile. You won't notice that much difference though :?
