Hi,

With the last steam update the 3d window in hammer was not usable, they did a quick fix but i still had problems with the entities.

Found the "solution" here.

Make a shortcut to the hammer.exe file and add -dxlevel 80.

Worked for me smiley

ps hammer.exe can be found here

Thanks it fixes the polygon errors.

But for some reason it also disables the textured/shaded mode for the 3D window. It's hard to work with high res textures in fullbright 3D views because there is hardly any structure and you can't make out the polygon edges :/

Valve managed to f**k up a working system again.

This board is for editing questions only, this is pre-emptive solution to a problem that no ones asked yet, while there is no correct place to place it, I recomend you rename the title to "Props not showing correctly" and marking your own anser correct. This will help the pit's data base for solving future problems.
