Hammer randomly crashing apon startup
I might have an older version on a different computer, but the steam account I downloaded that on only used Half Life... would that affect hammer?
(I most likely do not have it downloaded there, I will check when I can, but don't get your hopes up 
)
Im emailing valve.
Kay, I just emaild the SDK help. Heres what I said.
I've mailed SDK help a bunch of times for various reasons, but I've never gotten any reply 
I usually start (after launching hammer) by create a new map, then try to save as... 25% of the time it works, and if can successfully bring up the save as window, I can just close the map and use the open menu.
I also try to keep the most used files in hammer's history (stores 4 of them), and if nothing works, I just have a .reg registry file ready, and I add/edit the filenames there before I start hammer
(HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareValveHammerRecent File List)
Do you people know if it is system dependent? It may be as (for me) crashes mostly happen when trying to open/save as - these require opening Windows dialog box.
I am using Windows 7 x64. Didn't update for a bit long because I don't want the IE9 even try to get onto my drive. So, Windows updates in 7 surely don't have anything to do with these crashes.
Back to my question, anyone who is not using 7 have those crashes?
I'm on Win 7 64 bit and the problem occured a few times and then disappeared o.O
A map pack coming soon. - click for more information
I'm still using Windows Vista, just can't afford to upgrade to Windows 7. Never once had a problem with Hammer yet ... but since this thread have been keeping on the lookout for similar issues...
Maybe it is Windows version specific ?
