It’s been a while since I used hammer last, so I can’t tell exactly when it happened, but it looks like one of them might have broken Hammer, at least for me.
When I try to start it, my cursor does the loading animation, but nothing happens afterward. Hammer doesn’t even show up in task manager.
I’m running the most recent version of Windows 10 Pro, and I’m certain it’s not a firewall issue, because Hammer for other games works just fine, without hesitation.
The (probably) most useful information I have on it is that whenever I try to start it, I get two application event logs in the Windows Event Viewer, one of them labeled as an error that directly references hammer.exe.

My bad if this is the wrong section. It doesn’t really count under any of the bug reporting sections specifically.
