Send Reliable Stream Overflow - Garry's Mod

hey guys need some help please - i keep repeatedly in console getting the error: [quote]send reliable stream overflow[/quote] this is whenever i host/join a server - my console is filled with it. i have tried: re-installing, including deleting the folder etc. and start a single player - this worked but i'm guessing it works differently etc. after some help guys

What connection are you running?

[QUOTE=Primas]What connection are you running?[/QUOTE] This has nothing to do with connection speed. It's an issue with having too much lua shit running.

I'm also getting this error. Can someone please provide details on how to stop this!!! >.<

Even i always have this error but i can still join servers and play normally. Though it would help to know what this error is all about.. The custom addons/tools i have installed are PHX Mod, Wing STOOL and GhostScript

I got this error, it got fixed when I removed the advanced duplicator... Wich was very sad for me to not have the adv. duplicator...

Honestly, I am not sure what is causing this... but here is a simple work-around... simply keep trying! I don't know why this works, but when I try to make a listen server the first time, I overflow, then when I try to make one again (without exiting), it works! Perhaps it is just due to the fact that it precaches everything the first time... then fails, then it only has to precache the remaining things to get ingame. Edit: And yes, I get this on both my listen and dedicated... and they both have the advanced duplicator and the wiremod... those two seem to be taking most of the blame here, but I have gotten it up and running with both.

I also have this problem but instead of making me unable to play on my dedicated server I crash the server too! Garry needs to fix this ASAP.

Garry needs to fix this ASAP.[/QUOTE] Yea, the strange thing about my dedicated server... I can bring it online and my friend can join with no issues... but when I join, my client overflows, but the server remains uneffected.

Well this is a serious problem for me because I need to admin my server but how am I supposed to do that if all I do is crash my server before I can successfully get in! This even happens when my client has no addons and is straight from a fresh reinstall

Has it always been like this?

Not for me no, just started happening recently.

When you get to the join screen, and it says "joining game" and you're getting console spam, type "retry" into the console. It works for me 100% of the time whilst connecting to problem servers.

I got this problem now too. Started to happen now when i launched up my server, never happened before, and i have not even done any changes to the server!

Does anyone know a definite fix? This happens if I have too many addons.

[QUOTE=Senzuri007]Thanks, I'll try this and let you know if it works![/QUOTE] Damn. This didn't work for me :(

I get this on my dedicated server - just installed with no mods. And my client is also a fresh install. I will email Garry on behalf of this thread.

Delete advanced copygun if you have it. That fixed it for me.

I don't have it though.

PLEASE! I haven't been able to play Garry's mod for days because of this! Can this error please get a little more attention? It seems there's a lot of people that are unable to play because of this.

I emailed garry, telling him this is an important problem he needs to address, but either he hasn't checked it (I hope) or he doesn't care (sounds like my luck)

[QUOTE=Senzuri007]I'm also getting this error. Can someone please provide details on how to stop this!!! >.<[/QUOTE] Same... :(

This needs a lot more attention.

Guys if you downloaded the latest wire mod pack, as far as I remember it included some files for the advanced duplicator but not all of them. I'm also getting this error but will see if i still have adv. duplicator files now.

OH MY GOD! I still can't play. This is lame >.< [b][highlight](User was banned for this post (Reason: Reduced. (in post "Re: Send Reliable Stream Overflow" by postal)))[/highlight][/b]

Senzuri, if you go to your steamapps folder and rename the garrysmod folder to garrysmodbackup when you run gmod it'll create anew all the necessary files. I did it earlier and it worked fine, then i started to transfer my mods from my backup folder across.

GARRY if you are reading this- can you please notify us of what you know and intend to do regards to this error?

[QUOTE=selfdestrukt]GARRY if you are reading this- can you please notify us of what you know and intend to do regards to this error?[/QUOTE] Garry works in mysterious ways, just give him about a week and he will probably have it sorted out... he is just awesome like that! :D (probably just needs some sort of delay between trying to load each script, I would imagine that a program trying to load 300 scripts at the same time, will have some problems...)
