• What is making me Crash?
    15 replies, posted
Hi, I went here cause I couldn't find anymore solutions out there that could fix my crashes. I've been getting a TON of crash dumps but I dunno where to send them for someone to identify my problem. I play in Garry's mod Cinema Server [Yuki Theater] I love playing in it. Some people may crash in the map but there are more who don't. I don't want to believe its my systems fault since I can play other gamemodes without crashing at all. While playing here makes me crash within 30 mins to 50mins if lucky. It doesn't matter where I am or what I'm doing. I crash anytime and anywhere in this server. I used a low specs windows 8 laptop to play in this server and I've played in it for 24 hours with that laptop but didn't crashed. I tried many solutions like removing all addons, reinstalling steam and gmod, reinstalling the server contents, doing countless Launch Option tricks for fps boost and tried a lot of settings. I even tried running steam in administrator to run gmod with it. My adobe flash players are up to date and were even reinstalled just to make sure. Anyway, with all the many days of problems. I get more problems while doing some launch options from being able to go in the server to being stuck in the loading screen until the gamecrash at the "download/fireworks" part. I've cleared this list of crashes many times so these aren't my only crashdumps [IMG]http://puu.sh/gCI1k/b016c2d541.png[/IMG] Here are some of my crash dumps [URL]http://dumps.metastruct.uk.to/dumper.py?dump=hl2_150305_crash_2015_3_14T15_37_5C0.mdmp[/URL] [URL]http://dumps.metastruct.uk.to/dumper.py?dump=hl2_150305_crash_2015_3_14T16_25_8C0.mdmp[/URL] [URL]http://dumps.metastruct.uk.to/dumper.py?dump=hl2_150305_crash_2015_3_16T1_4_35C0.mdmp[/URL]
The same thing happened to me. The way that I was able to fix this was by going to TF2 and verified the integrity of game cache which you get to by right clicking on TF2 properties > local files > Verify Integrity Of Game Cache. I hope this works for you too!
There was a update today, but it didn't fix the crashes
I am getting the exact same crashes. Tried everything..
I don't have TF2 though.
It should all be in the crash dumps
I was already crashing before I discovered editing the launch options. I'm using dxlevel 9.0 - 9.1 now. still crashing. I played in Sandbox servers, prophunt and I never really crash in them. I even afk in Sandbox for 4 hours and never crashed. But in the Cinema [Yuki Theater] Server I randomly freeze and crash anywhere in random times.
I don't know if this is causing my crash but I get these kinds of errors. But I don't really see any errors in the server. But my console is filled with these. I screenshot all of them and combined [IMG]http://puu.sh/gGIq2/248b00dd50.png[/IMG]
The addons for the cinema are downloaded through the loading screen. They're the ones in the downloads/server folder. Edit: I deleted everything in the server folder and subscribed to the server's map contents. All downloaded and I still have the same errors. A friend of mine said they dont get the errors and the owner said its probably the workshops problem.
If your having errors with textures or models, the owner of the server needs to add it within their fastdl and if they haven't already create a file called resource.lua and place it in lua\autorun\server. Within that file they should add every .vtf and .mdl file known to download on that particular server. The script should look something like this: [CODE] if SERVER then resource.AddFile("location/of/your/models.mdl") resource.AddFile("location/of/your/textures.vtf") end [/CODE] This will automatically download those files that might be giving you errors, you should contact the server owner for that.
I've had this problem before. You could try disabling all your addons from the "Addons" button on the main menu. If that fails; Do what Nulus said. If that fails, verify your game cache (Go to your steam library, Right click Garry's Mod, Click Properties, click the Local Files tab and click "Verify integrity of game cache...") If that fails, re-install GMod. If all the above fail, it could be a hardware/driver problem or Garry's Mod is just trying to annoy you. ----------- OH WAIT, YOU'RE USING WINDOWS XP. OF COURSE IT CRASHES. Yeees, my problem stopped when I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. (So basically upgrade to Windows 7 for extra compatibility.) Windows XP is really buggy with GMod. Awesomium is buggy for one thing and gmod just crashes alot more often. "I used a low specs windows 8 laptop to play in this server and I've played in it for 24 hours with that laptop but didn't crashed." That just proves it.
According to the Owner, he said those errors are happening to everyone. But I asked my friend and she said she doesn't get it. I donno who to believe anymore. But yeah , I just wanted to know why of all the gamemodes and servers I played. Only in Cinema is where I crash and not the others. But I tried playing at a different computer which is Windows 7 and I got new crashes. My game crashes when a browser is open. The browser crashes with the game. And also my game crash when I go in a theater multiple times. The Awesomium core will crash first but not the game. I'm getting those white screen flashes when I try to pick some videos to play and when I was playing the slot machine and Piano. But yeah. My last solution might be switching to a different OS. Since I recently found out my system can manage 64 bit which is great. I can install either Windows 8 or 7. Since I have experience crashing on Windows 7 and not on Windows 8.1. I might try to Install Windows 8.1 first when I get an External HD to backup my 5 year old files.
