What is this "normal" and "beta" sdk that you guys keep refering to? I've never heard any reference from Valve or anybody about two different versions...

I reverted to the normal one and I get the same symptoms as G.Ball - I can only see the lightmap grid. Textures don't seem to load into the editor. But hey, at least I can do batch compiles again!...

... Too bad my maps keep crashing RAD.

Well the beta now seems to be the normal. No longer a beta. I dont know if there is a way to revert back to the old hammer now.

Valve have acknowledged the bug at last, so there should be a fix soon:

And G.Ball, Valve released a beta of the SDK a while ago - just add -beta sdk to the Steam shortcut and then run it... (if you dare...)

I'm not getting the 84% thing, but I'm not seeing anything in my 3d window either. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

Well, I guess we can still map...we just can't compile the maps until later.

Source SDK started updating for me at around 94% a few hours ago. Now I get the "System cannot find the file specified" error when trying to run hammer/modelviewer. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

You just need to refresh the SDK content before running Hammer, and that error should go away.

That seems to have helped. Hammer starts, and the 3D window works. I'll try compiling later to see if that's fixed yet.

I am holding off compiling any maps until the coast is cleared.

I'm running the normal SDK and have no problems compiling what-so-ever.

Just compiled B3 of my map and I think it looks good.Not only did it take almost 2 hours less to compile, but the FPS have doubled (or rather, returned to their original levels before all this HDR/beta crap). I think they have just rolled back to the original version for now. One problem I did notice was:

My original water texture is missing. I had to re-texture it so it would show up.

nice screenie juim....i like the ambience.... <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

something i noticed on my last compile after closer inspection....1 zero area child patch i had forgotten about, because it had never been an issue before with gameplay, or framerates, or anything....but i got to thinking, could that old "blemish" be opened by a rewrite of more specific vrad code, or some such phenom? plausible?...but not probable in my estimation.....but ive been wrong before.... <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

You know, I wish I had enough bandwidth to compile these maps for you guys. I have not updated and I assume my hammer is still functional. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

To download and upload a map would take me ages.

I'm able to compile a small test map successfully. No reason to avoid it Satch, might as well use it while it still works. If anything does go wrong, I'm sure someone as meticulous as yourself has backups <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

Thanks. I'll try to compile my map tonight.
