It looks to me like you're missing Half-Life 2 content. I would reinstall hl2 and css if you have them, then delete the garrysmod folder once more and let it download the contents on it's own. Try connecting WITHOUT INSTALLING ANY ADDONS FIRST.

That's all normal console feedback b/c source. Nothing there stands out as the cause - the vphysics thing is just what happens when a map tries to use a prop with no .phy model.

Was it sitting on sending client info in that dump? How long have you let it sit before giving up? It used to take me 10 minutes to get through client info.

Have you tried joining other servers first? Tried going into singleplayer? There are a few glitches related to hangups in sending client info, and those are solutions for two of them.

Additionally, try running the HL2 games once each. You just need to let them get to the menu.
 
Do what Pirate said but ..

This looks like an error to do with HL2 content, specifically EP2 (hunter_muzzle_flash!) I googled a few of the errors themselves without the variables and it seems to be common amongst Source Film Maker. Not sure what that has to do with anything, but if you have that installed you might need to see about uninstalling that as well. Honestly, if all else fails I'd hate to recommend a reformat, but it might be the only option. Especially if you were playing fine previously. Have you installed any updates or mods recently? What was going on the day before / after this issue came up? You might be able to identify a specific thing that you did differently if you retrace your steps. :(
 
The particle errors happen if you don't have EP2 installed/mounted, it's just saying the server is telling your client to precache them but it can't find them. Shouldn't be related to the hangups.

No problem, dealing with Source can be migraine inducing.

that's the understatement of the century. I've broken computers and ruined friendships in the rage resulting from the source engine, and I'm normally a pretty level-headed guy.
 
This is starting to affect my GMod as well. When I'm in fullscreen, it eventually connects to the server, but it freezes at the camera view of spawn before the menu shows up, forcing me to have to restart my computer (I have dual monitors so that may be part of it)

When windowed, it simply freezes on Sending Client Info/Have fun!, and never changes.

I recently cleared my cache folders and that didn't seem to help. It used to happen very rarely, but this past week I haven't been able to connect at all.
 
Back when I used to have a similar issue I just fixed it by switching to borderless window and tossing in the 'fix list' to my client made it look like ass and run in a tiny window but it stopped most my problems. Though I wouldn't recommend the fix as opening console crashes my game now. Still long as you don't need console for anything you're good.
