Hammer Crash

[nate]

I just started using hammer, it's fun, though a bit confusing. However when I run HL2 in the background (so i can switch to the map i just mad) it will run once. But if I make a change to the map, and then reload HL2, I get a "Failed to Lock vertex Buffer" error as well as a memory error following it, and then HL2 crashes. Anyone else getting this? I could just quit out of HL2 after every time, but it takes time.

Make sure you disconnect from your test server in between map builds, its probably crashing as the map is being edited while the game is trying to run it

The following is a stupid question:

How do I do that?

 

[MrMan]

Press ESC while playing your map and select DISCONNECT, it'll take you back to the main menu

That doesn't work for HalfLife2.

Oh right sorry i assumed you were playing HL2 : DM, in that case you're probably gonna have to just close it down everytime :|
