backups
for some reason, hammer crashed while i tried to save my map, and for some reason that erased everything in my map so its gone i guess.
So that's kinda why backups are important :b
but i just needed to ask you if you know where hammer stores its autosave files! i might be able to find an earlier version of my map 
At least mine are in there.

No I meant like a physical notepad, you know with like a pen.

Since the answer has been answered, Let me just put that you should build up a habit of Ctrl+S-ing every I dunno,30 seconds.

I do indeed 
PLUS every every time before going to my texture browser!

You can limit crashing in the texture browsing by slowing sown the scrolling. Still sucks that it does that, Not sure if its the majority of textures being 1024x1024 causing of it.
But, i HATE the Bug with the Flags. Every *** time it crashes when i click on it . _. ^^

Yeah man, sometimes that works but many times I can't even see a first page fill with textures when it crashes already, so no time to even scroll a milimeter... If this is related to memory resources for example, is there any way to allow the P2AT grab a much RAM as it needs?

yea i do that everytime i'm about to open the properties window of a brush or entity or when i've made a small change..

I basically hit Ctrl + S always; I even notice I press it after I moved my camera elsewhere
Same here. ^^
I've been mapping for like 3 hours now without a single crash after searching/filtering for textures/models a bunch of times >.<
Or maybe it just sounds too ridiculous to believe if we say it out aloud like that
There's a reason why I constantly press Ctrl S...
But it seems that packing up some ram does help making Hammer a bit more stable. (Duh!) I have 16 GB and I don't crash too-too much. Sometimes with the texture browser or if I open up a big map next to some other big maps, but it isn't so bad, that I have to call 3 hours without a crash an achievement.
(Though I haven't done too many big mapping sessions in a while, so it might just be time making things a bit nicer than they actually are)
