Problems after 17/06/14 update
I started having problems with the model browser after this update they released today (17/06).If I try opening it by the Tools menu, it opens normally, but if I try to access the browser by a prop properties, the browser window becomes white and nothing happens. Then, when I close it, the browser appears in all 4 views and I can't see my map at all. I tried closing Hammer and the SDK launcher, but it's no good, also tried verifying content, nothing.
Am I the only one having issues after this update?
Hopefully this is fixed soon
I had to restart my computer 3 TIMES now (...and counting...) because Portal2 refuses to get stopped (even from the task manager >.<).
Also I tried to use the tools meanwhile P2 was active on background (and hopefully would stop and quit), and after it seemed to launch hammer.exe, nothing was rendering on my screen, no hammer editor window >.< I had to kill it with the task manager (since I couldn't see the X at the right top corner of the inexistent window!)
It was a bit more of a hassle for me since one of my computers has hammer installed under Program Files (x86) and the one that needed fixing was installed under Program Files, so I had to do a bunch of annoying folder creation and messing around with gameinfo.txt files, but here's the good part for all of you guys:
Since most of you run off a windows 7/8 now probably, here's a fix for hammer. Replace your Common/Portal 2/Bin/ folder with this:
Not broken for me.
windows 8.1 most up to date etc etc

The fact that a member of the community has to fix Valve's goof ups every time something happens astounds me. Remember the time when they broke elevator videos?
Which time?

Thanks CamBen, works perfectly!
ADDENDUM: Now, Portal won't work anymore
2nd ADDENDUM: The whole thing is a joke - Valve should really do better than this
After having 'validated the game cache' Portal works but Hammer won't even start. I give up for now!
EDIT: Ok i said nothing, what the fuck is that..
