Hammer Problems

[d4rk]

Ive been having trouble with sdk/hammer lately. My hammer used to be fine with the bypass around steampipe but lately errors have been coming up and if they dont come up, when i open up a map all the windows are black and behave very strangely.

errors that sometimes come up when opening maps

what it looks like on a blank map

what it looks like when i open up my map

if someone could give me a run down of how their files and folders are setup that would be awesome. Oh and also i cannot run hammer from any source engine except MP.

I've been looking for a fix to this, as well, since yesterday, when it first happened. Unfortunately I haven't found a fix yet.

Also, in my hammer, if I try to load a map it crashes and closes.

Please tell me if you find a fix.

EDIT: I found a fix, kinda...
My hammer works perfectly fine if I run straight out of the 'Team Fortress 2\bin', however it still has the afore mentioned problems if I run it out of the sdk in steam's tools library.

Hope this helps...

The first thing to always check is that your ABS Resource Pack is updated. I know my game was crashing on loading more developed maps, but after I updated the pack it was fine. Not sure about those other problems at the moment, but I'm sure someone will be able to better help you soon.
