Damn this sucks, yesterday it worked fine but now I am having the same issue. So close to getting my first alpha done to :(. Makes it really hard to map, all I need is like 3 hours grr.

How could Valve let something that obvious through, they obviously don't test patches if it's this wide-spread!

But think about it, if the patch was completely unrelated to hammer, but changed a file it used, I wouldn't blame them for not testing it considering it wasn't -related- to hammer.

I'm almost done with my 2nd alpha when this hits. RAAAAAEG! Although I did find that changing the size of the grid works just as well if not better than switching camera views.

Well, mine got back to normal after I restarted steam. I had a problem when testing my map and going back to hammer, it crashed steam, I was raging. Hopefully, when I opened hammer again, my map was saved, the camera thing stopped and they lived hapily for ever.

:D

EDIT: Nvm, it's back again! D:

Anyone found a concrete solution to this problem yet?

I've tried restarting Steam, and even my entire computer, no dice (as well as fiddling with various options in the 3d view tab and pretty much every option that affects the 3d-camera view in some way (and many options that have NOTHING to do with it) and I've had no luck.

Mine only does this on start up and after a few seconds of loading the map, it goes back to normal. Just started doing this last night. Thought I had a few too many beers. D:

Hopefully we get a fix soon.

If it goes to that view I find minimizing hammer and restoring it reverts abck to normal.

Well I've found that if you open just hammer.exe in the correct folder your wanting to map a map in that the weird camera view does not exist. BUT! In the grid view the model props don't show up as grid lines, they show up as purple and black checkerboard textures. Weird. I also get this message when opening a map running hammer.exe not through sdk "Failed to load the default scheme file. The map views may be missing some visual elements."

I am having absolutely no problems with the camera angle, but I've noticed that it's gotten a bit more laggy for me...

This started happening to me right after the TF2 update yesterday. It's very annoying and can really screw things up, especially when trying to apply textures and overlays.

I'm hoping this has been brought up in the steam forums. UNLESS valve wanted to slow the production of our maps down just here! =O Cause there were just so many good ones coming out they though to themselves, "Quick! We must think of a way to slow TF2Maps.net from releasing better maps faster than us!" BAM! They came up with this. But somehow it only affect us... *looks around* what have you done valve.... what have you done...
