When I'm at a certain distance they (func_wall, func_door_rotating and func_breakable) don't show up. However, if I get closer to them or move farther away, they will be drawn. How to fix it?

Are there any warnings or errors in your compile log?
What settings such as Render FX or Render Mode are you using for each of these entities?

The problem: Too many entities are visible in some spots in the map, which makes some brush entities stop rendering.

The causes:

• Unoptimized map layout - too open and without the classic kinked corridors used to block visibility →do that
• VIS ran with -fast → remove -fast
• too many entities → remove some, merge some
