Work Camera Locked / Work camera not moving when loaded a map

[Feidz]

It has been working fine until I realized i have a serious problem when i loaded up a map called "cp_dustbowl" firstly and other maps like "stage.bsp" and such. However, when i wanted to move the work camera, it's locked and can't move anywhere, it just froze into place!!

I checked 1 discussion about this problem but unfortunately, no one has ever come up with a solution with this..

I've reinstall SFM and loaded up a map the same thing but still occuring or same problem everytime.

Lastly, i've sent a bug report of SFM to valve about this problem but unfortunately, valve members never replied the problem which they're maybe inactive or busy.

Here are my graphics system info:
Operating System: Window 7 Professional 32-bit (6.1 Build 7601)
System Magnufacturer: TOSHIBA
System Model: Satellite L670
BIOS: Phoenix SecureCore Version 1.00
Installed Memory (RAM): 4.00GB (2.92GB usable)
DirectX Version: Direct 11

Try moving the work camera around if you haven't already (just stating the obvious here). Try copying a scene camera to the work camera. Do scene cameras work? If they do you could use a second scene camera as a work camera.

If your game view (F11) doesn't work I would suspect a problem more related to graphics drivers and hardware than SFM itself

I came back to SFM as i read your comment in order to fix it but as a i enter SFM, everytime i load a map, it brings up a Title "No Map Loaded" but Black which is blank. That's another problem.

I'm fairly certain now that it's a graphics card issue, either with the driver software and (hopefully not) the hardware. Check if you're able to run all other games properly

I can't move my work camera because it's locked and freezing.
When i copied or made a scene camera to the work camera but it froze like the work camera.

When i use the game view (F11), it didn't work so which means there's graphics itself?

Note: It worked in TF2 with my graphic card with no lag but SFM is working slow and takes 2 minutes to load so i'm not sure if i need a driver upgrade or not.

Hmmm... Your game view isn't working so I'm quite sure there's a problem in the game engine. Check your console for errors (console is opened by the key above the tab key " ` ")

As for the loading times, that's normal. It's not easy reading almost all the content from multiple games, ready to be used at one's disposal.

Thanks for the reply! I'll check if there's any errors on the console of SFM!

I can't open SFM.

I have another problem where SFM just crashes when i open at the start.
This is very serious but difficult to fix maybe.

It could be your Steam derping. Try restarting Steam.

I had the problem earlier. If your problem is the same thing I'm having, which isn't the camera not working, but merely the viewport freezing up(If you can, move your supposedly frozen camera around while looking at a model's bones. If those model's bones are moving on the viewport, but everything else isn't, this is my problem). I fixed this by hitting X on the viewport that's frozen, then went to view and re-opened the viewport.

Damn this is a late reply, but I'm having this problem too, and Soulseeker hit the nail on the head for the issue, what do you mean by view? My work camera's view is frozen, the bones move but the image is frozen

Nice necro about complete differend issue

[SkeLethal]

your not the only one here buddy, i have the same problem too.

It could be the map, some TF2 maps have HDR messed up and for some reason that breaks the work camera, you will have to use another map or recompile the map in Hammer.
