I've sent ticket to facepunch but im also concerned that this may be an issue with connectivity to the workshop ect. Im missing .GMA files, They dont appear in any of the folders and I have checked through everything to do with steam in my directory to no avail. I copy and pasted my concern from a thread that no one seems to have a full answer for and says its either up to you guys or facepunch. Ples help I really want to be able to get the content I paid my money for.
I'm almost fed up with this, quick story for ya
I buy Gmod
Launch it up
Download Mods
Enable mods
Start New game
Only 2 maps available
wtf
they're the default ones
Go back to addon store
disable and enable mods
go back to start new game
nothing there but default maps,
Curious too see if gun mods installed
launch default map
no addons there either
go back to menu
enter steam workshop
I'm subscribed to all of them and they're enabled
Unsubscribe to mods and exited the game,
restarted PC
Launched gmod
Redownload mods
go to start new game
default maps.
launch default map
none of my other addons were in there this time either
flip table
drink boiling water
exit game
look at threads
people have this issue but their issue is similar but different at the same time
try their solutions anyways
List as Follows
Go to Local directory and messed with some files, deleted addon file and data caches-dident work
Validated game files-dident work
factory reset option in files-dident work
Uninstalled and reinstalled game- Dident work
Restarted computer- Dident work,
Turned off cloud saving-dident work
Cried-Dident work
Prayed to baby jesus-dident work
Looked up how to fix my issue- None worked
Did all of the above in different and certain orders-Dident work
Deleted all folders and reintalled the game-Dident work
Tried offline mode-Dident work
Ok I am at a loss here like in the addon menu AND steam workshop im subscribed and installed to what I download, Thing is, I cant play with anything but the default stuff,
Some sidenotes
Joined a Multiplayer sanbox server and it worked fine, I suddenly had access to server mods like AK-47's and stuff but when playing singleplayer none of thats the case
Im not sure but the mods are in one of the file caches for the workshop file in my directory, but not in the gmod file titled addons itself wth
I need help cause im this close too losing my marbles boiz
Thanks in advance-Been having this problem for a couple days now
(EDIT- The .GMA files are not even downloaded into the Addons folder and they dont seem to be going anywhere else)
EXTRA EDDIT
Steam couldn't find a solution so they sent me here for answers and so did facepunch so here I am world. Ok so basically
STORY TIME
Been stranded a long time in the realm of forums and non working solutions
Really want to mess around with mods but to no Avail even though its been a week of actively trying to find a solution
Some nice community moderators on steam attempt to help me out but had no solution themselves
Said, "Ya I'm at a loss, This is up to steam/Facepunch"
Summit original thread with a few edits through a ticket for support
Facepunch tells me to go ask Steam
Steam says go ask facepunch or talk to more moderators
Surprise Email from Facepunch
Says post here and see if i can find some help
Is now here
So quick summary of my problem that's up to Date
So basically Found out my GMA files arnt even in My addon folder
NEWS FLASH GMA FILES ARNT ANYWHERE
I can download addons
They'll do the download thing
It completes
For example I download BigCity
The thing isent even in my start new game menu, nor anywhere in my Directory
says I'm subscribed,
do the usual,
Uninstall, steam cloud stuff, Messing with files, Offline mode, nuke anything to even do with Gmod, reinstall,
Nothing works
Just recently Messing with launch Parameters, And checked to see if my firewall was blocking anything*(It Wasn't)*
Validated Caches and the game in general and it thinks things are fine but their not fine.
Side notes to keep in mind,
Reinstalling Mods that have been downloaded and rid of in the past instantly download again when I press subscribe.
I am not a techy guy onceover just desperate so if you ask me to check out my JOPLIN.X&JSAU//RecourceEdit.208s523rSA9 I will die from a stroke
So please someone help me, I'm out of hope and ten bucks

There you go
Get rid of the space in the file path to the game.
d:\ steam\stea
^ this right here
"The source and destination files are the same" and it makes me cancel my change so it can revert back to having the space
Rename it to Steam2 and then back
It Worked Chief, Thanks a bunch, Had to reinstall steam to get the file to work but it was overall worth it, Hope this works for others dealing with the same issue
