Model viewer in hammer. Why must you do this to me? - Developers

Ok so sometimes when using the model viewer in hammer I get a strange error where the model that is selected goes berserk. Most of the time the model is completely unrecognizable. Here is a sample. This is what it did to this tracklight. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7FmNt.png[/IMG] This is what it should look like. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Zn8Iq.png[/IMG] So my question is. Why hammer? Why must you do this to me when I am in my mapping zone? Does anyone know a fix to this? Am I just out of the loop?

Have you covered all the usual issues, like out of date graphics drivers etc?

[QUOTE=IronPhoenix;33564669]Have you covered all the usual issues, like out of date graphics drivers etc?[/QUOTE] Yea my GFX Card was updated this past October. This has been happening to me before that. It seemed to happen after the last SDK update i believe.

Thats really odd. I have never seen that before.

Have you done all the obvious things? (backup, redownload sdk, etc)

This happened to me once, too. Turns out my graphics card driver had an incompatibility with Vista, though most everything does.

I thought the latest update took a mean poop in its pants. But now im beginning to think its my gcard. Not too sure why it would be tho.
