Hammer Crashes on .vmf Load Up

[Irksome]

As the title says, every time I go to open any .vmf file in hammer, it will load it, freeze up for a second, and just close. I don't get any error, it just exits.

Also the SDK list only shows me Episode 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2, whereas it used to show Half-Life 2, Episode 1, Counter Strike Source, and Day of Defeat Source. (Yes, they're still installed.)

So far, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the SDK, and refreshed the SDK content, but nothing has work thus far.

Any suggestions?

I guess I'm no the only one, although there is a temporary fix apparently. If you turn off the shaded texture in the 3D view port it will work, I haven't tried yet but I'm going to go see now.

edit #2: Well it worked, ignore this thread.

What version of hammer, and is from the Source SDK?
OH wait, ignore this post.

Considerate this post, spam.

- run SDK without parameters - SDK list only shows Episode 2 and more..
- run SDK with parameters "-engine ep1" - SDK list only old games HL2, EP1...

actually, it's run steam with those params. Right?

No, actually it's run SDK with those parameters.

Steam.exe -applaunch 211 -beta sdk -engine ep1

Is what I use to get the SDK to run properly. If I launch steam without these params then I have top shut it down and restart it to get the SDK to work. SO I still say it's run steam with that.
