Well,This has started when I began playing Multiplayer on Gmod,Crashes have started,And when there's a crash,I can't access the server anymore...The game crashes when I'm attempting to join again...
This also happens in other servers that I have never been in...
So anyone can tell me what the heck is wrong with Garrysmod?
Here's a Log:
http://pastebin.com/WjzypHax

P.S.
I am using a Mac,Specs are:
Mac OSX 10.5.8
ATi Radeon 2650 HD Pro
2 GB Ram
2.7 Ghz

Thanks!

EDIT:
It appears to be that I have missed the Subforum of the Actual Of Help & Support,Sorry about that one,Won't happen again...

I tend to have this problem too, also running a Mac.
Mac OSX 10.6.6
Nividia GeForce 9400m
4 GB Ram
2.4 GHz

It sometimes helps if I go to Steam, Library, right-click gmod, local files, do a scan and defragment of the game files, and then leave my computer off for a couple of minutes.

Try starting a single player server before hand

I have tried the following next things:
-Deleting all my Addons - Didn't help
-Cleaned the Cache folder completely - Didn't help
-Unchecked the box of Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat : Source in the extensions - Didn't help

**Banhfunbags** · 19th July 2011

I'm having this problem also. I'm glad to see I'm not the only person that's getting this.

Danikov · 19th July 2011

Then it appears to be that its not Mac only,This also applies on Windows...
Maybe try to post a log,And someone would hopefully take a close look at it...?

Try to find a dump file for hl2.exe in the dumps folder (generally Steam/dumps/) and upload it to

http://www.dumps.garrysmod.com

**Zupinata** · 19th July 2011

I think I have the same error, Im trying to start a multiplayer server, and gmod just crashes with either "Lua dump error", or "Steam.dll isnt worthy of our trust"

DatMeg,Thank you for replying,But I can't find that dumps folder you are talking about,And also,The link you gave me isn't working from somereason...
Also,I found out what causes me to crash,Those objects that are added to Garry's Mod,I spawned a Wheel pack prop or something,Game froze and crashed,Then at the specific Server I did that,I couldn't join anymore...

{Deadb4t} · 21st July 2011

This is just a random guess and I may be completely wrong here but a friend of mine had a problem with killing floor,and we came to the conclusion it was because he didn't update his video card drivers... Anyway sorry I cant be of much more help than that, good luck!

My Mac drive is up-to-date,Since my Mac informs me everytime when there's an available update,An Software update application pops up and asks me if I am interested updating anything that has an update to apply...
Well thanks,Any comment is somehow helpful... :)

I am not getting any erros,the game just crashes instantly when trying to join a server,And this crash happens in the "Retrieving Server info" thing stage...

Danikov · 23rd July 2011

Sorry for bumping,But this is getting annoying!!!
Almost all the servers that I have played,I crashed in them,And now I can't play them anymore.

**Blazyd** · 23rd July 2011

Same, I played last night and it was fine. Today it just crashes when it reaches "Sending Client Info"

DatMeg,I think your the one who can help me,But the problem is,I am not the only Mac user who can't find that Dump file!

LtKyle2 · 24th July 2011

I also get this except it's when I'm trying to join singleplayer, it crashes when it reaches "Initializing Resources". It also happens when I load another gamemode such as sandbox. hl2.exe would run fine until recently.

scorpionz · 29th July 2011

i'm having the same problem and is getting worse.. now i can't even get in-game before i crash. as everyone else here has stated before, i have reinstalled my garry's mod and tried joining a server with NO addons. still crashes when it reaches "sending client info". my drivers are up to date also.. here is my dump log http://dumps.garrysmod.com/?view=3826082680&refresh=16

nerohero · 30th July 2011

This is terrible. Same thing happens to me all the time. I would wait for like 2-15 minutes for the downloads, then it reaches "Sending client info" and there's one bar left on the loading line then it crashes. I get "hl2.exe stopped working". This is total B.S.

Btw, I have Windows

EDIT: I uninstalled Garry's Mod and now I'm reinstalling it. Will tell how it goes later.

DatMeg · 30th July 2011

Lets try a clean install of Garry's Mod (this is not using "DELETE LOCAL CONTENT")
1. Go to the Garry's Mod directory (steam/steamapps/<steamname>/garrysmod/)
2. Rename the garrysmod folder to garrysmodold or whatever tickles your fancy
3. Start up Garry's Mod.

If that resolves your problem it was one of the addons/scripts that were causing the crash.
If not then it could be your system or something else.

tpops123 · 30th July 2011

Same, been doing this since January before I had any addons or anything for the game, I have a Mac too.

nerohero · 30th July 2011

I followed what DatMeg said and I think it worked. I was also having an issue with pink and black checkers although I own almost every Garry's Mod compatible game and it fixed that.

Yes, when I reinstalled Garry's Mod, I manually deleted the folder and then reinstalled. I don't crash during connection anymore, but I still crash 5 to 10 minutes after I join a server.

I also noticed deleting the cache files in garrysmod/cache/dua folder helps alleviate the problem some, but I still accumulate like 900+ files in there.

BTW: I'm on windows 7

My last two dump analysis: Says i crashed on tier0.dll and shaderapidx9.dll

Jacob863 · 31st July 2011

I think it has something to do with the recent update, i wasnt crashing before that. I'm also on a mac.

DatMeg,Thanks for your reply,But I am still having the Crashing issue.
I found out that if the Server's Content is being changed,I can enter that server again,It appears to be that it has something to do with the Cache files...

**MisterSpuds** · 8th August 2011

I've also been starting to crash recently. It started off on just one server, but now it seems every server I go to it crashes.

It just says that the folder is open somewhere else and it wont let me.

LTDEAD · 24th September 2011

Alright now I know someone already suggested starting in single player, but did you start the map the server was running? And if so did you at least run around the map for a minute or two? It may be that the engine gets overloaded when loading large maps.

Make sure HL2.exe is closed before trying to do this.

Edited:

(bump) I'm getting this too, gets to Sending Client Info, then goes and stops responding, I fed the machine my dump. http://dumps.garrysmod.com/?view=1744983610

Macs DON'T create dumps...for fuck sake, stop copy-paste replying and READ.

Edited:

Other then that... I don't see why you guys with windows 7 are having that problem. The only time I crash is when my graphics card shits out or meet any other reasons that perfectly happen with reason (I.E. spawning too many props).

Goidel · 6th January 2012

I've had this problem for about 6 months now... really annoying. I've tried everything to fix it: Cache deletion, local game file deletion and EVERYTHING ELSE. Most the wire servers are fine to join, but not the regulars. Not sure why though.

walty005 · 21st March 2012

Yeah, same is happening for me. I tried re-installing and nothing, I could connect fine before I changed my graphics card.

**Ideal-Hosting** · 21st March 2012

Update your graphic card drivers.

kibbols · 18th April 2012

i've had the same problem, i crashed every once in a while. then it became more frequent. now all of a sudden i can't even get in-game on the server before it crashes :(

Rageguy · 11th August 2012

Im starting to get this too.

Assault_Trooper · 11th August 2012

Nice bumping. Anyway, launch single player, and then join a server. Stops the crashing.

TF2 Engie · 11th August 2012

I'm sorry if this is late, but it Assault_Trooper's Solution doesn't work, your computer is overheating, try taking off the side, or even take of the side and put your fan on low power next to it.

Mr Dublando · 6th September 2012

I know this is a bump, but this is a serious problem. I think Gmod started crashing today after it updated, but I'm not sure. None of the fixes on this topic have worked. I'm running Windows 7, if anyone has a fix for this PLEASE post!

Detective Hoop · 7th September 2012

Gmod crashes on every server join. It was working for me earlier today and now its gone to crap.

**Mr.D.M.C** · 7th September 2012

It's the new TF2, Source Engine, etc update that broke Gmod and there's nothing we can do 'till Garry fixes it.

Detective Hoop · 7th September 2012

Garry fixed the link to download the beta on his website. Im gonna check it out and see if I can get in a game.
