Ooohhh goooddd. For some reason when hammer just crashed, it didn't auto load the automatic save of my map. I had a lot of progress done.

So, where does hammer save these? Is there a way to manually do it?

Please tell me there is.

edit: Nevermind! Found it!

Default is C:\HammerAutosave

Everytime this happens to me it happens as i deselect a brush and go to the menu to save. Then the memory spazzes out and hammer crashes. Normally Hammer's auto save gets the last couple brushes created but i lost a good 10 minutes work pasting props and making ropes.

Agitating, especially since i do save frequently.

I set hammer to save every minute with 5 iterations.

I guess I got too reliant on that though, because when it didn't auto open I freaked, realizing I hadn't saved manually in about an hour.

The every minute save has saved me a ton of lost progress.
