ive got a big problem with hammer!

ok, well yesterday hammer was working absouloutly perfectly! Then just this morning i opened it up to continue on my map and it started installing updates. When the updates had finished i opened up hammer and opened my map, it looked like this:

as you can see the top left hand corner is blank why is this? ive reinstalled it and tried making new maps but it stays the same and my colours are set to the highest possible! help me!

When you said you reinstalled....is that just hammer you reinstalled or the whole SDK? You may need to load up the SDK and select "refresh SDK content" and then make sure the correct game is activated in the SDK window, or from Hammer.

the whole sdk!

edit: refreshing sdk diddnt help

Hmm, You said Hammer was working fine the day before WITHOUT updates, then you loaded up Hammer this morning and now its updating...thats odd, cause if by "this morning" you mean within 24 hours before you posted this thread....I have not recieved any updates from Steam. Did the updates specify what they were for, and i imagine they were official steam updates, yes?

Edit: I am reading on the Interloper's error page here.. and they say it might be because of "drivers or other interfering soft/hardware" Might wanna look into that?

i see, but how does this help me what am i ment to do? install the lastest drivers cos i did that a few days ago for a game.

Right click on the little, black "camera" rectangle in the 3D view. Check "textured" or another mode so it reloads.

If that doesn't help, go to camera-mode (either click the camera symbol in the toolbox or press shift-c) and click/drag the mouse somewhere in the 2D windows, near a piece of geometry. It creates a new camera there. I think the camera is just at the wrong place. It was in my map.

WOW! i love you errr in a weird way lol IT WORKED =D the camera was int he wrong place lol
