Garry's Mod (Currently on v164) Pretending to be v165 and Redownloading Addons! - Help

Garry's Mod, I have no idea if it's because of SteamPipe or the new update itself, has been acting very annoying recently. I have dealt with the annoying Lua limit and am still coping with its instigation-prone-ways, but this is VERY aggravating! Garry's Mod, when you immediately start it up, while seem to redownload all of my addons and not stop to realize its mistake. I realized another big problem: servers are unable to be joined! If you look here, [url]http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=150751922[/url], you can see that the servers are working off of an "older" protocol than mine.. Why is that, you may ask? The fuck I know! It says on the top of my screen on the GMod version box 165, when [currently] it is 164. This problem cannot be solved by verifying GMod through Steam, and only seems to work if you have GMod on for hours without quitting the executable and restarting steam. Again, I can only TEMPORARILY FIX IT by restarting Steam. This leads me to think that SteamPipe might of been wrecking with my game, but I digress. If anyone can help, please don't hesitate to reply. Thanks!

The latest version of Garry's Mod is 165. I'm not quite sure why you think your GMod is at 164 when it says it's at 165.

None of my graphical settings are saving. Anyone else having this issue?

Atokad, why would you comment here with that lol. And Bo98 Now it's even worse. Now that everyone's updating to SteamPipe, NONE OF THE SERVERS are switching to it. Is there any way to downgrade?

In fact, lots of people are having issues that the clients are not updating automatically. This is one reason why some servers have not updated yet but the bigger reason is that the way servers update, the way servers mount content etc, have all changed. Give it some time. But it is all for the better. Just a rough conversion. There is no way to downgrade.

Help me please. Ever since the most recent update, my Gmod appeared to have broke. I mostly play TTT, but there are SO many textures missing and errors everywhere. It worked fine just 1 day ago. No, even today. Tried to upload picture but that bugged for me too. Tried verifying the integrity of Gmod and HL2, no success. What can I do ?

Verify CS:S.

I did, and then "Game content conversion" made its sudden appearane which I have never seen before. Something about conversing files into a more efficient format? Are you sure my TTT will work after this is done ?

Yes, if it doesn't then there is another problem but you definitely need to convert your games for it to work in GMod.

Okay it didn't work. It said (suspended) and failed. What do?

Try convert again a few times until it budges.

Hopefully.. But you said there might be "another problem" if the verifying/conversion of CS:S doesn't work? [editline]6th June 2013[/editline] Also, what other games do I need to verify? I verified HL2 and Gmod but they didn't convert anything like CS:S does.

Also the verifying/conversion of CS:S worked, now it's just downloading something to finish it up.

By "another problem" I was meaning if the textures didn't appear after converting the game. The game needs to converted to work with GMod.

HL2 DM? Do I need to converse its contents too?

Whatever games you have mounted in Gmod

I'm not sure.. I just play TTT, I don't run servers or anything

Just try it as it is and see if your textures are there.

But I would prefer not to have a single error or missing texture.. [editline]6th June 2013[/editline] And I can't cancel the conversion of HL2:DM right now lol

For most TTT servers, you only need CS:S. [editline]5th June 2013[/editline] No harm whatsoever converting other games btw.

What other games? What other game could you possibly merge into Gmod that isn't something Half-Life related, or (re)created on Source? Anyway I will be trying out TTT soon to see if it works, very much ty for fast responses etc.

There's a list if you click the controller icon at the bottom of the main menu of GMod. Not all convert though and by no means do you need them all.

Okay I got it to work, but still there's missing shit. Gun sounds are not gun sounds at all, but demonic screeches. Also the 3rd person view model of guns doesn't have the drawing animation. WTF ?

Do you get any errors in the console?

Okay, let me take the time to say that I am severly disappointed. Garry, maybe it was you or Facepunch pressured you to, SteamPipe was an unnecessary, flawed, agrivating, failed, HUGE bust. It makes players who like to have fun wait or complain on every server I go to about this ridiculousness. The CSS sounds make combative screeching noises. Filesystem maps, models, textures, addons for singleplayer are broken. For once, stop thinking about the fucking multiplayer party. TTT is for those who get sucked in and can't get out, btw. I know a guy who has 10000 hours on gmod and doesn't even know how to fucking move props with a physgun. TTT, even if it may be off topic, is a failure to this community. I hope it dies out. Look, right now. There are more TTT servers than DarkRP and sandbox combined. It depresses me. And Really, Garry? That millimeter of a second shorter than the last update really quickened up my speeds. This is only because YOU REMOVED A LOT OF CONTENT AND REPLACED IT WITH NOTHING. Fix this shit! And don't act like I'm the only one fucking pissed. Play any server and mention the update. Bye bye.

Don't fucking try to act kingly like you decide what's needed and what isn't important. I like HL1:Source content, and I want my addons. I want my shit not to be server/workshop obtained only. I want my shit back! [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Flaming" - rilez))[/highlight]

I completely disagree. Garry's Mod is only one of the handful of games not moved onto SteamPipe. GMod moving from 12 to 13 was bigger than this; every update has issues. They will be solved over time; that's the point of this board.

Don't throw me responsible for the SteamPipe changes.
