Hammer messing up...

Ok, I can open Hammer ok and start mapping for a while, but then it messes up. I can't move the camera around in 3d view, when I try to move in the 2d views it just screws up and I can't see a thing, so I have to close Hammer and reopen it. It will work fine after I reopen it.

I'm not sure if this is a Hammer problem or a graphics problem, because I can play CS: Source without any problems.

Anyone got any idea of how to fix this, or even what it is?

Thanks in advance :smile:

Not something I'm aware of so unfortunately not able to help. Only problem I've had is Hammer not saving my .vmf file and thus losing about 6hrs work on a map.

Is only your camera view blocking, or can you still move brushes in the grid views ?

Make sure steam keeps runnin' in the background when you're playing with hammer.

Yeah, I can still move brushes, but the view messes up and i can't see anything, nor does the 3d view work. Steam's always running for me, so no probs there.

I have a feeling this might be another damn graphics problem

I'll leave it alone until Hammer is updated, maybe the problem will be fixed then, sorry to bother y'all :smile:

What video card do you have (and drivers)?

i got exactly the same problem, i got ge force 2 mx 400 64mb , amd 1,2 ghz and 256 mb of SDram

cs:s works fine on low settings (50 FPS) and hl2 works on low settings too,

my m8 got it to work after it fully updated but mine still won't work,
i can do everything i want in it but after a while the screens go
screwing up and aftersome more time i get a hammer.dll error :S

What OS are you running on? I think i might need to upgrade to XP, 'cos 98 is... well... old :razz:

i got windows ME tbh :biggrin: prolly even worse but it should be the couse,
my m8 had it but it was fixed when he updated, maybe ours will be fixed
next update :biggrin:
