"hl2.exe has stopped responding", right after an update. - Help

Basically I was going to play Garry's Mod when it said it "finished downloading Garry's Mod" Y'know, usual updates. Except now this happens immediately after launch. [IMG]http://puu.sh/1pz7U[/IMG] I figured it's incredibly likely that this was the update alone but can anyone who SAW the game update confirm this?

Garry broke Gmod.

[QUOTE=Piett;38427401]Garry broke Gmod.[/QUOTE] God dammit.

Wow Garry, just forget about Linux. Gmod obviously doesn't want anything to do with Linux servers.

Garry, fix the fucking weapons glitch while you're at it... Every server with weapons is broken, which is pretty much every server. It has royally fucked many popular servers in half.

Same Issue. Running Win 7 64x I7 Radeon Graphic

Exactly the same problem here, hl2.exe stops responding right as I open the game.

Same goes!

same here too!!

I was playing mine, logged off... it updates and now its just like yours.... damn updates

Confirmed. All I can get from Windows about it is this: Unhandled exception at 0x777115de in hl2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation.

[QUOTE=flash31939;38427460]Wow Garry, just forget about Linux. Gmod obviously doesn't want anything to do with Linux servers.[/QUOTE] When most people use linux servers due to the low HD space needed to install it, and none of those bullshit Windows security features? Linux is important. EDIT: And linux based operating systems are free.

Tried uninstalling, deleting Gmod folder in steamapps, and reinstalling. Error Persists.

[QUOTE=flash31939;38427460]Wow Garry, just forget about Linux. Gmod obviously doesn't want anything to do with Linux servers.[/QUOTE] For reference, I'm going to post the response I posted in the other thread here, so people coming into this thread with pitchforks aimed at Linux understand: "What people fail to realize is that many Linux servers are run by people who are committed to server hosting. Lots of GSPs use Linux to host GMod, and so do lots of independent server hosts like myself. Sure, you get some super comitted people who fork out extra for Windows servers, but I'd assume a majority of Windows servers are run by people who run servers off their home PC. I could be wrong, but that's the way I see it It was a bad update, and it just so happened that it was when the Linux servers were fixed. It happens all the time in the programming world, you can't blame the target of the update for a bug. Take my word for it, you'd be complaining a lot more if your favourite servers disappeared because Garry dropped Linux support. Be thankful he's going through this effort."

Also i just reinstalled it... no good, and verified the integrity of game cache, as well as defragment cache files... nothing seems to work now....

I can confirm that my Gmod crashes as well. The spawnicon text is tiny and almost illegible. I can crash it 100% using the right click "look at me" function with the Eye Poser tool.

Same thing tried everything i know of and still no fix... im running it on 64-bit windows vista home premium

I truly wish there where more testing before the updates roll out.. I am getting tired of this.

I think we can say that it is not us but the update that caused this.

DEFINITELY got the same issue. jeez, caught me completely off guard, the File validation thing didnt even appear either like it used to.

I have the same problem, but I can open up Garrys Mod 13 Beta fine, probably because it wasn't affected by the update?

Same here! Was very much looking forward to playing... Any temporary workarounds?

Well, I guess it's safe to say Garry knows about it now.

How often can updates be sent out by garry to fix this?

Why the hell would you rate me dumb? It's a glitch that needs to be fixed...

[QUOTE=zackh;38429156]Why the hell would you rate me dumb? It's a glitch that needs to be fixed...[/QUOTE] Why are people taking the rating system too serious? Everyone knows the sweps are broken, you just don't need to force-feed us the same 1 week old bug report.

Can't even start here as well. [h2]gmod 13 beta will work however as a protip for any lusty builders[/h2]

Not taking it that serious, just saying. Doesn't seem like Garry is motivated to fix it because he's released two updates since the weapon glitch came out. Nothing against him, just wondering why it isn't fixed afte these updates.
