This is because Hammer was launched without a valid `-game` parameter while using a Mapbase config. Make sure you are using a shortcut to launch Hammer and make sure the shortcut was set up correctly. Please return to the setup page for more information on setting up a shortcut.

* ### Hammer crashes every time I try to place a Mapbase entity!
This is usually because the user has set up multiple FGDs in the Mapbase config. `halflife2.fgd` includes `base.fgd` automatically, so you should normally only be using the `halflife2.fgd` in your Mapbase config.
This usually happens when multiple linked FGDs are manually included in the Mapbase config. `halflife2.fgd` includes `base.fgd` automatically, so you should normally only be using `halflife2.fgd` in your Mapbase config.
Some mods (e.g. Map Labs) may also have their own FGD which includes both `halflife2.fgd` and `base.fgd`.

Issues like this can happen for many reasons, but if you're setting up Mapbase and you encounter this issue the first time you try to compile a map, it's usually because you put the map compilers in the wrong place.
In order to work properly, custom map compilers must be in the same `bin` folder as Hammer because they depend on the adjacent `.dll` files. It's recommended that you back up the original compilers before overwriting them. Make sure your custom game config uses the correct directories as well.
