Hammer Freeze in 3D Created 20 years ago2004-08-16 03:41:36 UTC by CrAzY

AHHHHH now when I run Hammer, and try to go into 3d view the editor freezes and wont work!!!!!!!!! WHATS WRONG! please help me I want to map again

Is it the beta version of hammer?
Have you changed your video card/any settings?
Installed any other programs that would use 3D rendering?

Running too many apps at the same time?
Try reinstalling Hammer.

BLAHHh I have tried everything you guys have said would FLASH MX have to do with 3D rendering, because I can still make maps in the 2D views just cant go into 3D....

No, flash has nothing to do with it. Maybe a virus got to it.

BLAHHH, ok, thank you everyone for your help...still mad as hell though o well, thanx!

Try reinstalling 3.4 and seeing if it works.

If so, then you can re-install the beta if you'd like and see if it works then.

ok now I am scared!!!! none of my Half-life equipment seems to be working except the game itself, Steam doesnt load any games, Half-life model veiwer doesnt work neither does Hammer!!!!!! HELLLPPPP MY PC IS ON THE VERGE OF FLYING OUT MY WINDOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmmmm.... try reinstalling EVERYTHING

well not everything

just the stuff that aint workin, you can get em back off the net.

What, may I ask, are your PC's specs?

do what i did when that happened to me.. i tried everything even reformatting my HD. that didnt work so i just stopped for 3 months. then i tried again and BLAM! i can map again! super wierd! maybe its karma? kill any animals lately? maybe you should start to.

Floater, reinstalling has never worked for me when stuff was freezing up. It rarely ever does. What you got is a virus Crazy, probably the Trojan Horse virus. I had it about a month ago, b4 my hard drive crashed. When I had the Trojan Horse virus, the same thing was happening to me. Half of the things on my comp stopped working.

My solution?

I used a built-in recovery program to fix everything. And it worked! Do you have something like that?

CrAzY: What OS are you using? If it's XP or 2000, press Ctrl+Alt+Del, go to the Processes tab, and try to figure out a rough average of the CPU Usage (at the bottom). Also, (still just 2000/XP) do this, which will copy a list of processes running to a text file so we can check for viruses:

1. Start -> Run -> cmd.exe
2. Type "tasklist /svc >> c:processes.txt"
3. Open c:processes.txt and paste it in a post.

Of course, if you're using '98 or non-Windows then that's all completely useless.

You could also reinstall/update DirectX if it's only 3D stuff that's affected, and update your graphics card drivers.

SilentGunz: trojans are a family of virus, there are hundreds, probably thousands of them, not just the one.

Try turning off the PC and turning it back on....

chuckles and I went to all that effort too

You could always try system-restoring, if Hammer worked in the past.

That's what I said!

Oops, I missed the "built-in" part of "recovery program".

Seventh: I know there are hundreds. it's just that I used to have Norton Antivirus and it told me my comp was infected by the "Trojan Horse" virus. I looked it up in a list and there was only one Trojan HORSE, but many other Trojans.

Ah, I see
