The new Hammer Editor 3.4 is a bit buggy and glitchy. It especially seems to have problems with Geoforce Video cards, Windows XP and Voodoo Video cards. Possible solutions: Right now, there are three known solutions that may or may not work for you: There may also be problems converting your old WorldCraft 3.3 maps to Hammer 3.4, the best solution for this is to open your old level in WorldCraft 3.3, copy EVERYTHING, then open Hammer, start a new map and paste it all in.

There have also been problems with longer map names in Hammer, especially with compiling. Like WorldCraft, you should compile outside of Hammer with a batch file or front end. And there are more minor problems.

If you have problems with Hammer forgetting your settings so you have to set it up every time, this happens to some CPUs. Your operating system may be causing it, or something else. The fixes I have heard of are: can do the process again and it normally works the second time - sometimes. reinstall right, it was found you had to hand remove from the
registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Hammer) before reinstalling.
