Need help running a map I created with the editor

Hi,
I spent several hours creating a well-crafted map of New York and its boroughs with the map editor for RA. Unfortunately, I only realized now that the game won't start if I try to play it. I spent another hour trying to run it but to no avail.
If anyone has a solution or could help, it would be much appreciated!
You can take a look at the attachment or download it in the resource center:

Thanks!

If you look at the "Lint check status" in the resource center and click on "failed" you will see several error messages indicating that some actors have invalid owners. In general you can check debug.log if you can't start a map, or use the utility lint command to detect such errors. (See
https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/wiki/Utility )

Many thanks. I changed the starting points from muliti(0-5) to neutral. It now passes the Lint test. However, the game still crashes at the beginning.

I guess it was this:

Hm, that looks like your map is defining an actor with a type that does not exist.

Apparently this runs into an endless loop because of the way bridges are set up.

I completely drew with empty tiles over the bridge at around (4, 68) and the map works now. No idea what exactly went wrong. You probably need to completely paint over that bridge and add it again.

Removed the bridge as you said and it works! Great! Many, many thanks! Saved my Sunday! :-)
