Hammer stopped working after recent update: how to fix

[MrBlip]

The update to the source engine messed with the SDK (Hammer doesn't load). Here's how you can fix it:

1) In your main steam folder, go to \bin

• Example: I:\steam\bin

2) Copy the dlls libcef.dll and icud42.dll
3) Paste the dlls in the orangebox\bin folder

• Example: I:\steam\steamapps\<account>\sourcesdk\bin\orangebox\bin

Reload hammer. The sourcesdk itself took a while to load, but hammer started up after that.

Thanks...now I can get back to my map instead of waiting for Valve to fix it.

I just got a random SDK update. They may have just fixed it.
