Hammer has a tendancy to drain my system resources until my computer staggers to a halt. I make sure to shut off all background tasks, running only hammer, but it still manages to slowly kill my computer.
Some of the symptoms are:
1. My computer begins overheating and a humming noise emits from my hard drive.
2. It will give me constant errors that my computer is under a heavy load or something.
3. Eventually, it will lock up and/or restart. I can't even save my map because it tells me I don't have enough memory to do so.
My computer doesn't suck though... 2.8 gig Intel. 1 gig of ram. Radeon 9800 pro 128 megs. AND I don't have problems with any other applications, including Half-Life 2.
So I noticed that the 3d render window has some crazy FPS rate that is most likely the culprit. Any way to turn down the rate of FPS that this window renders?
