Hammer crashes constantly
Man, this weekend I had to UNINSTALL hammer, I tried verifying the integrity of the local files cache and after recovering only 1 file, it still had a really ilogical behaviour, for example: after turning some brushes into trigger_multiple, or making them trigger_portal_cleanser, they suddenly were normal brushes! in the same sesion... Also after setting up one button I/O for example, after compiling, the button didn't do anything I set it up for.... Why??? I got desperate, saved all my files out of the sdk folders and unistall it!
After a reinstallation everything works good.
... I found no viruses, malware or else after a deep analyze of my computer (btw Win7 x64 / 1GB 9500 NVidia GeForce / 8GB RAM).
Hammer just sucks! and what I hate most: Valve is more concerned developing a new stupid tool for stupid people without even care about improving this damn beta version of hammer! Unbelieveable!!

Are you serious?!?!?! Do you know how lucky you are mate? Your pc should be put in a museum so everyone can see the one pc that hammer doesnt constantly crash on.
I think in terms of boolean variables. Generally, it makes things easier.

Tried the defrag and cache integrity options for both Portal 2 and the Authoring Tools. Hammer was slightly more stable afterwards, but I still experienced a few crashes. I guess at this point I'll just take comfort in knowing that constant crashes are common, and adjust my workflow accordingly.
Thanks for all your help! Looking forward to show you guys what I've been working on.
Yes, did you read about what I said about unistalling the authoring tools?
Do you want to know how many crashes did I have since then (only 1 and a half day ago) even though I recognize I have solved all the bad behaviour I complained about? Three!
I know I map a lot lately and I use to go faster in each session making a bunch of hardcore things such as moving entire wide zones from place in order to improve my chambers design and more crazy things, but still...
That's hammer! Good luck. Make the shortcut "Ctrl + S" your hammer against hammer!
