I just bought garrys mod off steam I installed it and i tried to run it it went through iniatilizing and then it completes but it just stays on teh desktop :(
1. Working steam account link
2. Specs?
3. Did you buy a source game with it?
Yeah you probably don't have a Source game.
Steam is supposed to throw a bunch of warnings to you before you buy garrysmod, they should all be telling you to buy a source game with it. Did you ignore all those?
Clearly says on [url]http://store.steampowered.com/app/4000/[/url]

I have counter strike source instalkled but on a diffrent acc i lost the pass for teh acc any ideas?
Give us a working steam account link and also, you need CSS to be on the same account as gmod.

Yeah, that doesn't matter. Buy it or another Source game on the account you're currently using.
[QUOTE=Legend286;25448192]Yeah, that doesn't matter. Buy it or another Source game on the account you're currently using.[/QUOTE]
It does matter cause i dont want to spend another 20 bucks an way i can switch the css to the account i currently have
You cant, heard of recovering passwords? If your able to prove you bought CSS via a CD key or a paypal thing you should be able to get your pass back, but you cant transfer it between accounts

i just found a guy wit ha video of waht exactly happens to me
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssaIlPDNmYs[/url]
so no ideas from any one?
Ahem, start up garrysmod, go to extenstions on the main menu, click on content, make sure you have CSS and TF2 CHECKED! Restart Gmod.
the game wont start period though i cant even get a whitescreen i just get the green box from the video thats says im currently on a game and thenm it just goes back to blue and nothing happens so i cant do that :(
Try doing this:
On the Steam games menu, right click GMod and select properties.
Hit "Set Launch Options", and in the box type:
[code]-fullscreen[/code]
Hit OK and launch GMod.
Update your DX thing. I had a problem like this before.
setting the launch options to fullscreen didnt work and my dx is up to date adn i tried -dx81 and nothing changed :( should i just ask steam for my money back?
[QUOTE=Crazyma359;25544099]should i just ask steam for my money back?[/QUOTE]
Not going to happen.
Once you buy off steam, no returns are allowed... But why should you!
cause the game isnt working and its making me mad that kow one knows a soulotion that works! i just want t oplay gmod and now its not working :(

That's your problem, not Steam/Valve's.
