G-Mod crashing on startup without an error report. - Help

Alright, so today I wanted to get onto garry's mod, and this occured I startup gmod, istantly crashes I try it into a different directX mode, and resolution I verify the content 4.I delete the local content I delete the entire gmod folder I do system restore I try to start gmod back up, crash, no error I try all steps 3-5 again, still nothing Reinstall steam, hl2,css, and the other source games, nothing So please help! I am not getting any sort of error either, nothing is running in the background, nothing. I am running windows seven HP, 64-bit. My drivers, everthing up to date. I run in administraitor My firewalls are down Security software disabled.

I tried helping him over steam, and we tried having him restart with safe mode with networking, and the problem still occurred. Anyone else have smarter ideas for my friend?

I have the same exact problem. It starts up for a second then closes instantly. I have no idea how to fix it.

Same here. I tried all of that. I'm now installing TF2 to see if that helps me at all.

[QUOTE=thatguy537;36967494]I have the same exact problem. It starts up for a second then closes instantly. I have no idea how to fix it.[/QUOTE] Guys has this been happening recently? I mean, nobody else out here has had a fix.

Is it making crashlogs? If so email them over to [email]garrynewman@gmail.com[/email]. Try running with -condebug and see if it makes a console.log - and paste the contents here or email it to me.

It seems that if it were to be able to make that file, it is not, so no, but I feel unsure about this files location, but I did search every bit of both GMOD 12 and GMOD 13's folders for the console.log file, but I found nothing, so no its not I guess.

I seem to require the answer to this question to. I have found a blank debug log but so far nothing else has turned up.

I am having the same problem, trying to start the game makes the screen go black for a second or two then it crashes out to "hl2.exe has stopped working". Ive run the gambit of verifying, reinstalling and updating to try to determine what is going on without any luck. Also tried to make the console.log file with the method Garry mentioned and no such luck :(

Try running with "-profile" and looking for "timestamped.log" - and paste the contents here. Maybe one of you will let me remote desktop onto your PC and diagnose it?

These errors seem to be based around the game window and startup graphics. What's going on with it???

anyone fixed this issue yet or have a solution to it?

Well, this sounds a lot like a problem that a lot of people were having 1-2 years ago, with the exact same symptoms. I don't know what happened to it, but people suddenly stopped reporting it, or the solution wouldn't work anymore. Anyway, the solution to [i]that[/i] problem was to: Right click on Garry's Mod in Steam, hit Properties, then Set Launch Options. In the window, type: [code]-window -noborder -w RES_WIDTH -h RES_HEIGHT[/code] Where RES_WIDTH would be replaced by [B]your [/B]resolution width (eg., 1440) and RES_HEIGHT would be replaced by [B]your [/B]resolution height (eg., 900), so a 1440x900 Resolution would look like: [code]-window -noborder -w 1440 -h 900[/code] If that doesn't work yet, try adding [code]-dxlevel 90[/code] To the end.

I've tried this, and nothing, still same results.

Tried that fix as well, same result. No change.

I'm having the same problem with G13, But the odd this is G12 Boots up then freezes at the loading screen, Blue bar never even shows up. I'll have a look and see if there's any crashlogs. Edit: well there aren't any crashlogs and holy shit I get no help, but when someone with 1500 some odd posts wants to help everyone else poors in. WHAT ABOUT ME!

i've tried that fix also and i'm still getting the same time-stamp log. [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] oh and same issue.

Im having this problem aswell. I have a legit copy of Garrys mod also if any one finds a fix please tell me because I want to go play some Darkrp with my friends, Thanks [editline]31st July 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=garry;36977040]Is it making crashlogs?

Should I mail that to you? Also the same problem happens to my Garrys mod 13 beta.

My dedicated server is crashing on startup too, with one line in the timestamped.log: [code] 0.0911 / 0.0911: COM_InitFilesystem( info.m_pInitialMod ) [/code] EDIT: nevermind, doing a -verify_all (on HLDSUPDATETOOL, not SRCDS) fixed it

Same problem, load gmod, shows the background of the guy with a phys gun for 1 second, and game closes itself. Tried everything from re-installing GMod, trying different drivers, disable all security + windows firewall, to fresh installing my operating system!!! OS: Windows 7 Home Premium Mobo: Asus M4A79XTD-EVO CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE GFX: ATI HD 5870 my timestamped.log 0.0120 / 0.0120: LoadAppSystems: Took 0.0120 secs to load libraries and get factories. 0.1254 / 0.1135: Steam3Client().Activate() 0.2548 / 0.1294: COM_InitFilesystem( m_StartupInfo.m_pInitialMod ) 0.4907 / 0.2358: game->Init 0.4909 / 0.0002: videomode->Init 0.5328 / 0.0419: MapReslistGenerator_Init() 0.5329 / 0.0001: DevShotGenerator_Init() 0.5332 / 0.0002: CVideoMode_Common::Init CreateGameWindow 0.9505 / 0.4173: CVideoMode_Common::Init SetupStartupGraphic

Seeing as it's happening to everyone else as well, my best guess is a source update or something of the like

0.0543 / 0.0543: LoadAppSystems: Took 0.0543 secs to load libraries and get factories. 0.1008 / 0.0870: Steam3Client().Activate() 0.2206 / 0.1198: COM_InitFilesystem( m_StartupInfo.m_pInitialMod ) 0.3965 / 0.1760: game->Init 0.3970 / 0.0005: videomode->Init 0.4414 / 0.0444: MapReslistGenerator_Init() 0.4419 / 0.0005: DevShotGenerator_Init() 0.4426 / 0.0006: CVideoMode_Common::Init CreateGameWindow 2.1967 / 1.7541: CVideoMode_Common::Init SetupStartupGraphic Mother of god, I just want to start posing again ;_; Help me garreh :<

Gmod just updated and still no worky :(

Garry, please fix this. I have a server that I played on and i'm missing out on so much without it working. I am having the same problem and it's irritating me. Please help us out. It would be greatly appreciated.

garry's not going to fix regular gmod because he's too busy working on gmod 13 beta

Well that suck's, he needs to focus also on this problem. I mean, come on.
