Confound these cubes, they drive me to drink!

I'm just beginning. Literally. Level one Hammer-user right here, and I can't even get the cubes to work.

Yes, the simple little weighted cubes. Unskinned, even.

Whenever I turn on multicore rendering, Portal 2 crashes as soon as I pick one up. When I turn all the settings down and multicore rendering off, I can pick it up and move it around, but after a few throws or I drop it a couple times, BAM, crash again.

:notwant:

What is going on?

Could you show us a screenshot of what you've done so far in hammer?

Follow up: I've had to reinstall Portal 2, and the Authoring tools, and my graphics driver, AND updated the BIOS. I've since made a simple cube-chaped room with one simple weighted cube. So far so good, knock on wood (+ Sacrifice a goat).

Are you using a prop_physics or a prop_weighted_cube?

First guy tells the second guy, "My head hurts!" The second guy replied, "Stop thinking so much!" Then the first guy says, "I think that what caused my problem in the first place!" The second guy says, "Then stop banging you head against the wall!"

Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay, I've done a lot of work since then. Had to get some stuff fixed actually, including the computer's fan.

SO! I'm happy to announce this also fixed the cube issue, and I am now at square one, instead of square -2. :thumbup:
