There is an issue on some user's systems with the SDK Launcher and Steam Play Games window consuming large amounts of system resouces if they are left open. As a workaround for this problem, close the SDK Launcher and Steam Play Games after launching SDK Tools. This issue will be fixed in an Source SDK update.

To avoid the resource issue:

  1. Open the Source SDK Launcher from the Play Games window.
  2. Launch the SDK tool you wish to use, such as the Hammer Editor.
  3. Close the Source SDK Launcher.
  4. Close the Steam Play Games window.
  5. Switch back the Hammer and begin editing.

If you need to switch SDK tools or game configurations, repeat these steps.
