If you could help me fix this or fix it yourself then thanks, if you tried.

[melindagreen]

This is a generic answer but: thats usually a .net framework error. make sure your windows is up to date.
Other than that i don't know other than your hammer has corrupted itself or something.

[IronPhoenix]

Has hammer ever worked on that pc?

[melindagreen]

^^ what he / she said ^^

[IronPhoenix]

No...that doesn't work at all.

he/she jokes are getting old fast...i prefer size jokes myself...

Are your displacements powers of 4?

[Dylanhutch]

[QUOTE=Firegod522;25776800]Are your displacements powers of 4?[/QUOTE]

Yes, why?

[comet1337]

that got many people problems.
turn them to 3.

[Staneh]

[QUOTE=comet1337;25801361]that got many people problems.

I always did it with 4, and never got that error.

[Dylanhutch]

I already tried that, and still got the error.

[99% More Fail]

Problem here? Doesn't seem like it would help much either way.

[Firegod522]

Not a problem and there is no fix for it.

[BioResearch]

Im here with sour news, I had the same problem on a old computer the only way to solve this is by buying a new videocard.

Derp, he can play TF2 with no problem, it's GMod.

[radu_iceman]

[QUOTE=Staneh;25801678]I always did it with 4, and never got that error.[/QUOTE]

I worked with 4 on an old map and it was very unstable. After I switched to 3 I didn't have any problems.

[BioResearch]

eehrm i could play tf2 with no problems either

[Sphinxa279]

Then you wasted money :v:

[BioResearch]

nope needed a new comp anyway.

[IronPhoenix]

[QUOTE=BioResearch;25829135]nope needed a new comp anyway.[/QUOTE]

Based off your previous pc knowledge, i'm assuming you bought a 420 on the basis that it was a cheap 4 series, or one of those ati chips which are designed for word processing.

nope had somebody who has a good understanding of hardware to help me. and yes i dont have any hardware knowledge can't do everything can I?

And perhaps if you would've read better you would have seen that that statement was based on a false pressumption? Just the fact that I thought the problem was the graphical card. doesnt mean that I'm totaly retarded.
and on a sidenote check the post on ragdoll movement.

pretty bad reading you did there.
