How big is your BSP file size?

Well Tetsu0, I can just export maps and just use a batch script. Even in wireframe, it will crash. What kind of graphics card do you have? It's funny, hammer 4.X works fine, but I don't have textures. Though Hammer 3.5 works with textures, but without a perspective.

Yes, but for some reason, the WAD loads in, but it never makes it to the 3d screen. I just see it on the side window when I select the brush with the face tool.

Well, it works fine, just the textures just seem short of showing up.

It was actually when my internet lagged, I had a wireless type N card, that goes around 300 mbps. However, when someone on my WLAN did something on the internet, my internet lagged, and for some reason caused lag spikes. I used lan cables, bought a new router, bought a new processor, formatted, bought new ram... The problem finally stopped when I switched to vista. Steam would just dissapear to my processes when I started it back in XP. All of it is now fixed in Vista.

Listen, I am not going back to XP because it caused more problems than Vista ( Steam wouldn't start, random lag spikes.. ) Even when I replaced half of my hardware and formatted. When I migrated to Vista, all of that stopped, and it also looks like Hammer also decided to stop too... I'm thinking someway to run Hammer in a different render, or maybe get 4.0 to work with HL1.

I know, it was a bad choice, however, I am looking for a solution. Any ideas?

Recently, I bought vista, and in combination with my ATI catalyst control center, Hammer 3.5 won't work as it did before. What happens is when I click in the perspective view ( To select an object ) it crashes. My guess is that I need to run it in D3D mode ( If thats possible ).

Anyways, does anyone know of a fix?

thanx your the man! seventh monkey

nope still gots it
