Only by constant testing did I find the problem of flickering invisible to visible textures. Its cause, is having too many "clipped" brushes causing a sort of corruption in the compiled bsp.

  • Try deleting as many clipped brushes as possible and make then more simple by just having a cube rather than smoothed edges.

or

  • Turning these clipped objects into a func_brush actually fixes this problem. Making then func_detail's can cause some problems like T junction compile errors, so stick to the func_brush's.

(By "clipped" i mean using the Clipping Tool)

This is an example of invisible textures.
