[HELP] Freezing when opening a map in Hammer
Hello, ThinkingWithPortals community.
I post here to inform you of one of my biggest problems:
When I try to open my map, Hammer stop at "Reading Chunks - 5%" and then "do not answer. I tried opening other files like instances and other things and there is no problems. I never had this kind of problem before with my map, it happened all of a sudden !
Please does anyone have an issue to this ?

It is a .vmf file.
What kind of map are you loading?
What do you mean by "what kind of map" ? Coop or solo ?
Any kind
This is a normal coop. Puzzles with simples stuff, no rotating panels, just buttons and doors for now.
Try making a new one, your vmf file may be corrupt
-_-
OK... Thanks for helping. 
Hi,
What I do when I get weird problems with maps, is to take a copy of it, and then start removing bits of the map, say 10-20 entities/brushes at a time, and re-run it every time until I find it starts working.
Then you know which 10-20 it was causing the problem, and you can narrow it down.
Its the only way sometimes to find problems like this.
Or post your vmf file and we could take a look.
Rob.
