I've made a version with exploit fixes as well as several other optimizations and smoothed out geometry (no more bumpy stairs!)
I'll also take this chance to recommend updating vsh_degroot_keep_2020 to version 6. Server just updated to version 5 and missed the new release by only a few hours!

What settings did you use to compile the map? Lighting is noticeably darker compared to the original, causing dark sparks on a few spots that I initially thought were leaks due to how dark it was.
Speaking of leaks, are you using a direct decompile? Would you mind sending me a compile log?
Looking at it again, I can see what you mean. notably, the exterior of the buildings.
Originally, I compiled with full HDR, but the trees ended up unnaturally dark. In the interest of time (this map has ludicrously long compile times) I decided a default compile would have to do.
I'll try to mess around with lighting settings to get it bright again. Push come to shove, I'll just add some exterior lighting.
However, now that I think about it, the dark buildings may have to do with the lightmap settings which I drastically decreased in an effort to save compile time. I'll revert them and see what happens.
Copy and modify the full hdr final compile, remove the -both command to disable compiling in LDR & HDR and compile the map using that setting, map will compile in LDR with benefits of full and final compile. Will take longer

This one is Jermaphobe approved!
And just to be sure, I recommend updating to degroot keep version 6 https://gamebanana.com/maps/209613 (server uses version 5)

Lighting is on point, but noticed some weird flickering with the skybox, would turn black and then revert to normal, and the sign above Hale's spawn is missing its kanji

The map vsh_hakurei_shrine_v3_fix3 has noticeably lower fps than the original version vsh_hakurei_shrine_v3 and this is especially significant with high player counts. At least two other players on the server have noticed the decrease in performance. The map is basically unplayable on my PC which is NOT a potato, yet it was fine-ish before the fix.
I noticed a difference when playing on the server normally but I couldn't be sure it wasn't just my imagination so I ran an fps benchmark. Here are the results: from an average of 204 fps with the original version to 181 fps with the fix3 version, making it an 11% decrease / 23 fps decrease, with only a single player as spectator.
Here is the benchmark along with instructions to run it if you wanna test it yourself:
i [dot] ibb [dot] co/YfTqW4F/hakurei-shrine-fps-benchmark.png (scrambled the url cuz the bot thinks I'm spamming links)
The difference is even more noticeable and becomes very significant with higher player counts, in other words basically all the time when it's actually being run on the server.
In the meantime I think that a simple revert to the old version would be a good decision, given that having at least 3 players unable to play on it normally is a worse state of affairs than just being able to stand on an invisible spot in the sky.
