Hammer has stopped Working
Hello Community ^^
(Im new to the community ^^ From Germany 
)
And the problem is that the Hammer Editor wont work.
I reinstalled Source sdk, Portal 2, cleaned the registry, deleted the sdk files in the appdata. And no matter what I do, I dont get the program work since 2 months. All drivers are up to-date and the graphics card and PC are not too bad for the Hammer Editor.
I have many incomplete maps and i cant work at them.
I dont know why i got every time this Error: (Brocken)
Anyone know a solution? (Vllt spricht auch jmd. hier Deutsch ^^)

Did you run Portal 2 before trying to run Hammer? That fixes some issues.
Yes i tried :/ Still crashes
EDIT: It crashes unitl 30-60 seconds,
hammer is known to be extremely unstable from time to time.
Have you tried to verify the tools cache of portal 2 authoring tools?
Have you tried verifying the game cache for portal 2?
Yes i did, still crashes :/
Can you give us more information? Is Portal 2 running correctly? When exactly does hammer crash? Are you launching hammer from Portal 2 Authoring Tools?
Please give us as much information as you can.
Portal 2 is running correctly, sometimes i have there the same bug.
Hammer crashes 30-40 secounds after i startet it.
Yes im launching it from the authoring tools
Please make sure that it is just the Portal 2 version of Hammer. Download and install Source SDK, and another Steam game that can be used with it. (TF2 will work fine.) Then load that game, and load hammer for the same game through Source SDK.
We are doing this because I want to know if it's Hammer, or if it's Portal 2 Hammer.

It is the Portal 2 Hammer,
EDIT: I Forgot, Portal 2 Crashes too. The same way, ca. 30-40 seconds after starting.. :/
I dont know why
Could it be that you have set the game to don't update and you're missing a key update?
Also, do you remember doing anything special 2 months ago? have you ever changed the game from its installation folder?
Another (maybe stupid) question: is your game copy a legit one or is it a pirated one?
Maybe, even though all your files are properly validated, your files are located in bad sectors of your hard drive... try doing a chkdsk or defragment your drives...
