Title: SDK is anyone else getting this?
Post by: jimonions on April 30, 2010, 01:54:53 AM
all my screens (3d and 2d) are black thus making maps impossible. Does anyone else get this? I think it might be something to do with steam's update.

I think that might happen sometimes if you force anti-aliasing and other video elements that with the Nvida or ATi control panel.

It was working fine right this morning until the steam update. They added an instance manifest thingy and while they were at it they fuxed everything else up. I bet theyre overthere laughing over their fat bellies as we struggle to correct their wrong and when we ask tem to fix it they say "no lol" (theyre wearing monocles too).

Well, my 3d view is fine but the 2d is black:/

EDIT: if you map with CSS its fine, i also have heard the same with tf2 and DoD.

I got this problem. Removed the SDK folder in the steamapps. And steam took care of the rest. For my experience this worked every time this happened.

I had this error.
Might not work!!

Start Hammer with CSS.
Remove your GMod settings.
Add new settings, name it GMod (Duh)
When you're selecting fgd's go back and select orangebox then bin then select the fgd's you want.
Restart Source SDK and Hammer.
Select Orange box then GMod then click Hammer.
If it doesn't work then it's b/c of the update.

To fix the problem (i found this on interlopers)

from interlopers:
To fix this, you create a shortcut to your hammer.exe (in either Ep1 or Orange)
and add this to the end of the Targetpath
CODE: SELECT ALL
-dxlevel 80

Ex: "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\-----x-----\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin\hammer.exe" -dxlevel 80
and heres the result>>


NOTE: you have to start it from this shortcut, starting it from sdk wont work.

(NVM THERE ARE STILL PROBLEMS LIKE MODEL VIWER CRASHES AND STUPH, GO BACK TO EP1)
