 Re: [FIXED] VHE crashes when I load it
Posted by Jezpuh on Sat Oct 9th at 1:20pm 2004

My hammer keeps crashing when I load it. I haven't done anything special to it lately, so I'm not sure what's causing the crash. I've already tried a reinstall but that also didn't help.

So any help is welcome.

All I can suggest is take a look at the thread directly below which was about the same problem, hope the suggestions in there can help.

You can try re-installing VHE too. Its not like there is a lot to loose by unistalling, it preserves your maps and prefabs.

On the topic of a gay VHE, mine cant maximize proprelly for some reason. There is always a little space left on the top of the screen. Its not a problem, its just annoying.

He has already tried reinstalling Wild, how about reading the post in future?

As for your problem. it happens to loads of folk Wild, me included. It doesn't happen EVERY time though - when it happens just close it, and reopen. Repeat until it eventually sits at the top of the screen. Normally doesn't take more than 4 or 5 tries for me.

Hey I did read his post Im just stupid.

Thanks ReNo, will try that. Perhaps the VHE dev team should address that problem though lol. If ever they release something other than a 3.5beta

Wait, I didn't say anything about that. I said it crashed.. you know, an error.

Perhapse your video drivers are screwed up and it causes hammer to crash when it tries to render the 3D screen, but I cant see how it could effect you since it crashes right away.

And as for the re-install idea: get rid of everything first (eg: delete the valve/hammer folder, then install hammer 3.4), just make sure you back-up your map.

Uninstal anything you've recently installed which might be affecting hammer?

hammer is extremely stable, but over sensitive to driver clashes.. my suggestion for what its worth..

1) un-install hammer.
2) run regclean
3) run spybot
4) reinstall hammer.

i am betting, that assuming hammer worked before, it will work again.

There is a small chance that the map itself is causing the problem, and its not opening due to something you added. Do you have a backup verison of an older copy? Make sure you can open other .rmf's / .map's [addsig]

Download the 3.5 patch again from a different site then when you downloaded it before. The executable could be corrupted.

Also, does Windows give an error message, or does Hammer just close and that's that? [addsig]

Why would it be corrupt? I mean, I used it before. Vhe just crashes with every version.

Windows does give me an error message, but that's it. I could capture a shot and paste it, but it's dutch, so that won't do any good.

It would help, there are dutch speakers here, and just the way the message looks will prolly give us all an idea. [addsig]

You could also tell us what the main error says ...

Secondly, executable files can easily be corrupted, hacked, and overloaded. For all I know some virus chose that exe to use as a way to get to OS memory. That could be causing a Segmentation and thus killing the program. Or, maybe, there's a bug in Hammer where valve didn't re-assign a pointer, who knows?

All I'm saying is something sounds corrupted. If it's a "This application needed to be terminated sorry for the inconvenience" error, then it's probably a ram issue. However, it could be something wrong with Windows. Or a specific registry entry.

Telling us what the error message says would help, at least more then going "IT CRASHES IT CRASHES, HELP HELP HELP" [addsig]

You might have some .wad issues...I had something similar where even if I re-installed the old settings hung around. Try moving or altering the folder name where your wads are and opening Hammer. [addsig]
