Hammer keeps crashing

This problem is really annoying!

By d4rth hijack 4 years ago

Well, a few days ago after reopening the Source SDK I started Hammer up and worked on a map I'm currently building, the problem is that Hammer stops working (window is open with "no response" in the title) when I'm opening the texture browser, either over the little texture viewing thing on the right or the advanced texture tool.

I tried it on HL2, CSS, Portal and Episode 2, everytime I open the texture browser it crashes.

I googled it but only found threads about a problem with the VGUI model viewer, which works fine. Does anyone else encounter this problem or know how to solve this?

    Have you added any textures recently, it could be some new texture that for some reason crashes it when viewed...

    Yes, I changed a vtm file for a texture, because it hadn't the right detail filepath. Though it did work while I had Hammer open. I try and find that vtm and change it back.

    Edit: I just changed the vtm of the texture, but it crashed again. I even cutted it out of the folder, but that didn't work either.
