The game won't get past 'Initializing game data' when in multiplayer

[Netheous]

So, I've been coding for past 3 days with no issue
..but now I just woke up, started gmod and appearently singleplayer games work fine but starting local server freezes on 'initializing game data'.

I've tried:
- moving game to my SSD (had to do it anyways)
- verified game data
- disabled all addons
- removed all downloads

All that to no avail.

@Edit: Tried with my own gamemode, sandbox, ttt and darkrp - neither worked

@Edit2: Joining servers freezes at 'Sending client info'

Obvious question, are you on Dev, Pre-release or Live/NoBeta?

I was running on default (live, non-beta) when it broke - then I tried dev, then pre-release and same thing was going on.

Fresh install doesn't work either.

You could try disabling steam cloud sync

and

Try even re-installing steam.

I fail to see the correlation between gmod servers and steam..

Thing's can correlate even if they don't seem like they do.

Was just making suggestion's, you don't have to. But you'll never know it works until you try it.

I don't know what it's like having your rectum examined and I don't want to try either.
Thanks for suggestion tho.

No problem, lol

Suddenly the game works again, without me doing a god damn thing.

What the actual F?
