• Can't get past the blue loading screen
    8 replies, posted
Okay, so the other day I decided to get on Garry's mod, (As you might expect), however it didn't work, I load it up, and it get's to the initial screen that is all blue, and says loading in the bottom right, but never moves. I have run it in the past, back around January IIRC, and I never had any problems. Here are my specs: Processor Information: Vendor: AuthenticAMD Speed: 1497 Mhz 4 logical processors 4 physical processors HyperThreading: Unsupported FCMOV: Supported SSE2: Supported SSE3: Supported SSSE3: Unsupported SSE4a: Supported SSE41: Unsupported SSE42: Unsupported Network Information: Network Speed: Operating System Version: Windows XP (64 bit) NTFS: Supported Crypto Provider Codes: Supported 311 0x0 0x0 0x0 Video Card: Driver: AMD Radeon HD 6750M DirectX Driver Name: aticfx32.dll Driver Version: 8.900.7.0 DirectX Driver Version: 8.17.10.1191 Driver Date: 15 Sept 2011 Desktop Color Depth: 32 bits per pixel Monitor Refresh Rate: 60 Hz DirectX Card: AMD Radeon HD 6620G VendorID: 0x1002 DeviceID: 0x9641 Number of Monitors: 1 Number of Logical Video Cards: 1 No SLI or Crossfire Detected Primary Display Resolution: 1600 x 900 Desktop Resolution: 1600 x 900 Primary Display Size: 22.20" x 12.52" (25.47" diag) 56.4cm x 31.8cm (64.7cm diag) Primary Bus Type Not Detected Primary VRAM: 1024 MB Supported MSAA Modes: 2x 4x 8x Sound card: Audio device: Speakers and Headphones (IDT Hi Memory: RAM: 5610 Mb Miscellaneous: UI Language: English Microphone: Not set Media Type: DVD Total Hard Disk Space Available: 610275 Mb Largest Free Hard Disk Block: 422035 Mb OS Install Date: Dec 31 1969 Game Controller: None detected Installed software: 7-Zip 9.20 Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin Adobe Reader X (10.1.7) MUI Adobe Shockwave Player 11.5 AMD Accelerated Video Transcoding AMD APP SDK Runtime AMD Catalyst Install Manager AMD Drag and Drop Transcoding AMD Fuel AMD Media Foundation Decoders AMD Steady Video Plug-In AMD System Monitor AMD VISION Engine Control Center AMD Wireless Display v3.0 Apple Application Support Apple Mobile Device Support Apple Software Update AuthenTec TrueAPI AVG 2013 AVG PC Tuneup AVG Security Toolbar Bandicam Bandisoft MPEG-1 Decoder Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition Belkin Setup and Router Monitor Belkin USB Print and Storage Center Bonjour Catalyst Control Center -

I have a similar problem to yours, except I somehow get past the blue screen pretty quickly, like the loading bar just shoots to the end, and then I get stuck at the background screen where the main menu is suppose to show up. The game will just freeze and sit there and I have to ctrl alt delete out of it. Did your problem started happening after gmod went on steampipe? That's when my issue started happening.

That's when my issue started happening.[/QUOTE] That's what I'm thinking, however I never had any problems with any other Steam pipe games, (TF2, CS:S) However, I did forget to remove my addons before trying to launch it at first, maybe that screwed something up? I also have to Ctrl alt delete out of it as well. I can run it fine on a computer that I never ran it on, but it's also an Intel.
Try removing the addons, verifying the integrity of the game cache, and running the game with -dxlevel 80
[QUOTE=djjkxbox360;41883773]Try removing the addons, verifying the integrity of the game cache, and running the game with -dxlevel 80[/QUOTE] I have already removed the addons, and unsubscribed from all my workshop content, I just didn't do it at first because I didn't know I had a problem. I just tried to verify the game cache, and it didn't find anything wrong, or help. And, I have run it a few times with the Launch option, and that didn't change anything either. Any other suggestions? EDIT: Also, it isn't getting far enough to generate a new >username</garrysmod folder, and I deleted the whole thing.
It's supposed to be in common, not username?
[QUOTE=code_gs;41885690]It's supposed to be in common, not username?[/QUOTE] All I was saying was it's not even getting far enough to create that folder, just to try give an idea of how far it actually gets. Do you have a suggestion maybe?
If you can even get to the blue screen, then you already have a folder.
[QUOTE=code_gs;41886517]If you can even get to the blue screen, then you already have a folder.[/QUOTE] Yes, I have A folder, but not THAT folder, I have the one in common, but not the one in my username. I get to the mostly blank blue screen where it says loading in the bottom right, but it never shows the logo or loading bar.
