My map is 5 minutes long and has a lot of media tracker elements. When I get to the finish , the camera zooms out like normal, but it stays frozen like that and I don't get the dialog to exit. Pushing enter does not work. If I push ESC key, I'll get the "return to editor?" prompt. But clicking on yes does nothing. Only way out of it is to exit the game.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Validate map

It could help if you posted a map file that reproduces the issue, too.

Alright, but the map is hard, I wouldn't want you to spend too much time on it.

Hi Matt

I had a look and I see that you have not computed shadows before running Validation. This might solve the problem - worked for me. I suggest computing at 'High' (NOT Ultra, as this may slow the map and the graphics down for many players).

When I hit the finish line, I got the normal 'Improve' or 'Exit & Validate' box and could then save the map ok. I sent you a pm with a link to my finished copy of your map.
* Caution: Saved with the same name as yours, so might be wise to download this file to a different folder.

My Validation time (07'20''23) is quite bad, so you might like to load my copy of the map into Editor and set a better time. Hopefully this will complete your work. ...
Cheers .....

Yeah , that didn't work for me. Even when I compute shadows for me I'm getting the same problem. And each time I load the map , it's doing a "work in progress" which I'm guessing it's computing shadows every time.

Well now I'm not getting the "Work in progress" dialog each time I load the map, but also my compute shadow options are disabled. And it still won't let me validate it.

Once the lightmap is calculated you cannot let calculate it, unless you modify the map.

I'm not sure you understood my post above. If you download my finished copy of the map, it's done! No need for you to recalculate shadows. All you need to do in the Editor is improve the validation time, then save.

Cheers .....

I tried it with yours, and it worked! Even when I make a few changes and validate after that it still works. I still don't understand why it wouldn't work with mine. Thank you.

I'll mark this thread as Solved then.
