ERROR 'EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION'

Due to the Nov. 7th
Source SDK update I'm no longer able to compile my characters because of this
error message I keep getting:

ERROR
'EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION' <assert: 1>

The Valve wiki says
this error has something to do with the $shadowlod command but I'm not even
using that command in my .QC file so it has to be something else.

It's really
frustrating because one day everything is compiling like it should and the next
day it won't work because of this "update".

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">So, does anyone know
what this error message means and more importantly, does anyone know how to fix
it? Please let me know so I can get back to work on my models. Thank you for
your time and help.</span>

The wiki blames the placement of the curly bracket more than the command that it comes after, so maybe your .qc has a similar curly, but on the same line as some other command, causing the same error.

I also found this, which appears to have nothing to do with curlies.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah, I checked all the brackets in my .qc file and they are all on different lines. Plus, I'm almost positive that this couldn't be the problem because my .qc file was working fine before and I didn't change anything on it.

The link you provided had some interesting ideas but nothing that seems to relate to what's happening on my end.

Anyone else have any ideas ?
