Okay, someone help me out with this. For some reason, Hammer 4 is really lagging badly. The weird thing is, it was working fine about 30 mins ago, now there is about a 3 second time lapse from when I click on something and when it is selected. It even happens before I load a map! the only program that seems to be effected is hammer. I'm pretty sure my computer isn't the problem either, I've got 2 gigs of ram and a dual core processor, plus a kick ass video card (if that has anything to do with it). I've done a spyware / virus scan and nothing came up, so what's the deal?

Are you using Vista? Just I hear it has issues with Hammer...

Erm I suppose if you go to options and lower the undo memory level then it may reduce the lag...Can't really think of much.

Yeah, I'm using Vista, but it's always worked before this.
My undo level was at 50, and it ran fine, but I tried changing it to 20, and then to 5, but no luck.

Try defragging the local game files and verifying their integrety, then closing Steam and deleting ClientRegistry.BLOB. If that doesn't solve it, try reinstalling the SDK, and make sure that your graphics drivers aren't outdated.

Well, reinstalling the SDK did the trick.
Thanks.
