If your Gmod crashed upon entering S1/S3 -

[Vismar]

Solution

1. Start the map in single player before entering a server.
2. Try to join any other server and then connect to TnB.
3. Delete dua folder in your gmod directory and verify game cache.
4. Delete clientregistry.blob (Files/Steam/ClientRegistry.blob), restart steam.

You can also sometimes turn down your settings.

No point leaving them up, should just lock now. Also, solution 1 worked out fine.

 

[Radec]

Some people, such as me, generally can't join S1 for long periods, no fixes work.
I think it's the 32bit version of 7, it's giving me issues lately.

Huh, funny, i was just about to post one of these, but i get the same problem in trp as well, is the problem there as well or am i the only one?

 

[Pieman]

yo dude none of this shit works for me

i still crash 95 percent of the time i try connecting to s1

 

[Nifae]

it's not working for me either and I can't turn my settings down anymore ;_;

 

[Xegrot]

I have tried everything. Joining another server first, loading the map first, deleting clientregistry.blob, and deleting dua. Nothing seems to work. I'm unsure of what else to do.

... I'll nag the RDA team to look into it ASAP. Off the top of my head, I have no idea. Would you have any addons that would conflict with the script?

 

[Xegrot]

Only other addon I have is the Toybox.

 

[Radec]

It's the script conflicting with everything else.
How about we stop for a second, and think about this "Why hasn't the main theme RP of this community received TS2 yet..?".

I find it funny because now that horsey is "back" you guys got him working on CPRP instead of finishing HL2's..
Just like it happened with SRP, I'm afraid :|

 

[Pieman]

agreed, radec

need us some fucking ts2 up in here

e: K, so i entirely reinstalled my garrysmod and i still crash upon server entry

awesome

e2: While I still experience this problem, I updated my video drivers and find I crash a LOT less frequently, so...I'd recommend other people do the same.

 

[Kebren]

I saw this an i just deleted garrysmod to redownload.... well lets see if it works

 

[Davebrown]

Funny enough im getting the same problem now too :S

Must be something thats changed in garrys code or an engine update, because we havnt changed much that would cause it.

Not to mention random console flood on some materials.

 

[BillNyeTheScienceGuy]

Tried em and none of them work....It takes like 10-15 minutes for me to load the screen now when trying to join then it stays on "Sending Client" followed by a crash.....

 

[Varen]

I checked the crashlogs...
It's caused by the massive amount of donation models apparently..
If gmod loads too many textures / models, it runs out of buffer. If it has too much things to load, there's a timeout.. and bam, gmod dies..

EDIT: Possible fix would be preloading them.. that's why loading another map before joining works.

 

[Radec]

That's nothing new, only nobody at the higher floors is acting to better the situation for everyone else :|

 

[Steve]

If Dave keeps putting more and more custom models on the server, it won't be long before people start having serious problems joining. Hell, most of those models are only used by one person.

Plus we already have to download three goddamn gigs of custom content most of us will never even use. Some of it we'll never even see. That's a bit off-putting to people who might want to play here, y'know?

BUT IT ADDS TO THE REALISM, CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
