Can't launch Garry's Mod - Awesomium has crashed - Help

[B]Engine Error: Awesomium has crashed or something - couldn't create NewObject! [/B] This is the error I keep on getting when I try to launch Garry's Mod. So let me explain what happens exactly. So I launch Garry's Mod and it gets up to this point. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ctDzbkw.png[/IMG] Once it gets to the "Finished stage" On the loading screen it crashes, and by this I mean nothing happens, it doesn't take me onto the main menu as usual. And finally after a bit it closes itself and I get the error pointed out above. Before you say, I have done these things: Reinstalled Garry's Mod, Reinstalled Steam completely, Verified the integrity of the game cache, set awesomium_process.exe and hl2.exe as allowed programs in my firewall and yes... I've restarted my computer. And if you want to know, yes, I can run the game, I used to run it fine but I stopped playing for a while, not even long, like a month maybe, as I had exams and now I've come back and this happens. Thank you to anyone who can help with this. [editline]22nd June 2014[/editline] Due to the fact none of the suggestions were working I decided to restore my computer to factory settings and reinstall everything which seemed to solve the problem

You have to delete and redownload the awesomeium.dll, I believe it is found in system32 although I'm not exactly sure. If you find it make sure to back it up first before you delete it.

Jesus. Awesomium.dll is for a browser yes... or a browser kit w/e. Either way Garrys mod uses it. So yeah you'd need it. When you join servers the sv_loadingurl, you need awesomium. Etc etc. Blah blah.

The link has a DL. Download it. Place it where it goes, and shut up. *sigh*

Don't be a cunt to random people seeking help, if you took the 5 seconds you would realize that you actually don't have an awesomium.dll in system32. I don't have one and gmod runs fine. I would like to help but tbh I have no clue, I was hoping someone smarter than me like Code_gs or Robotboy would respond since I've seen them helpout with this issue before. :-/ [editline]19th June 2014[/editline] Like really, the fact that you are that rude to some random guy boggles my mind, he said nothing bad to or about you and you came out of nowhere acting like the awesomium guru. I can't even imagine how you would act to people in real life.

A dll used in the creation of a game would never be found in system32, it would be found in the garrysmod folder. So you expect me to place a random dll in a folder where it doesnt belong? No thanks

"IObit malware fighter" may cause this sometimes I'm told. So disable all anti virus and firewall software.

And yeah you said you firewall allowed them. That's lovely. But your AV (Anti Virus) isn't your firewall. Either you instead of adding an exception rule to your firewall and etc. Just disable them temporary first so we can rule them out as not being the cause. Because thats how PC issues are fixed....

"On the site says sys32 but no go sys32 u no understand" No everything is just flying over your head is all. Anyways w/e good luck.

These suggestions on just replacing the module are ridiculous. I'm actually surprised that website's dll file is an awesomium module (it is) and not some just crappy malware (it could be?), but it's unlikely it's the right version at all for Garry's Mod.

Quit your bickering, you're in the wrong thread for that. [URL="http://facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=403"]http://facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=403[/URL] That is the correct thread, have fun. However, if you're looking to solve your issue, try deleteing both "bin" folders within your garrysmod root. This includes steamapps/garrysmod/bin steamapps/garrysmod/garrysmod/bin I recommend a prompt restart after removing those. When your machine reboots (if you choose to reboot it) Right click on garrysmod within the steam client under "Library". Click "Properties" followed by clicking the "Local files" tab. Proceed to click "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE". This will acquire any missing files for the game (the two bin folders you've deleted). Afterwards launch garrysmod, hope this fixes your issue, have fun!

Those kinds of Awesomium crashes are usually due to Garry's Mod loading a wrong version of awesomium.dll because it finds one in your system folders and uses it instead of the one provided with GMod. You didn't find awesomium.dll in system32, but have you looked in SysWOW64 instead? That's the equivalent of system32 for 64-bit systems. If you do find such a file, delete it and that should resolve your issue.

Thus this means it not being in the gmod directory doesn't mean Gmod doesn't use it or that it's not related. You don't seem to be understanding that.

This is just a shot in the dark but try copying awesomium.dll found in steam/steamapps/common/garrysmod/garrysmod/bin/ into SysWOW64 and/or system32.
