Hey everyone.

With the recent issues I have had with the editor since patch.
Mainly right clicking by mistake on the "move" cursor and then when trying to move things they move WAY! off where you intended.
I seem to have moved something, not sure what, a prop or a single edge or something WAY! out of the boundary area, I thought I had deleted it and carried on working, now on testing my map I am getting the black loading screen crash.

Is there any way I can find this "Thing" and delete it ?

    hm...

    1.) select all your current work and create a layer called "invisible"
    2.) now dont display this layer
    3.) press CTRL + A to select all -> visible out of bounds "things" should be selected

    btw: i never tried this

    CTR + A Seems to select everything in a layer or not :P.
    I did some zooming out and dragging boxxes over large portions of unedited screen and seem to have been able to delete it.
    Somehow while messing with groups/layers I have undone lots of my cammanderinvisible etc and some textures have gone wrong :P.
    But its easier to fix what I can see so :)

    i thaught about it, maybe there is another thing you can do:

    1. go to top-view and fullscreen (alt+w)
    2. zoom out until you see all your current work
    3. select all current work with your mouse (not CTRL+A)
    4. copy all selected
    5. create new level file & paste your work into it
    6. now save the new level file as your level before (overwrite the existing one)

    Interesting approach, I'll have to try remember that.
