some sort of wireGPU conflict with new gmod update - Garry's Mod

hello, after the new Garrysmod update to fix some errors which make you crash, i noticed that when you start a game, either multiplayer or single player just as the loading comes to sending client info(multiplayer) or initializing game data(singleplayer) a plane blue screen pops up stopping the process off loading the game saying: a lua script is creating a render target.. wireGPU_RT_1 (<-changes up every few seconds eg: after 2 secs: RT_2) @addons\wire\lua\GPUlib.lua(line 11) this only happens if i have wiremod installed into my addons folder, but with it out of the addons folder gmod works without a hitch! also if i take a screen shot in fraps, the screen shot would just be a blue screen with "finished!" in the centre, which clearly it didn't say that when i took the screenshot. and that's why there is no picture, just words. i believe that there is some type of lua conflict with the new update and wireGPU. if anyone else has this problem post below.

The update claims to be fixing "Long unresponsive startups", when all it seems to be doing is making them LONGER, just as unresponsive and 100% more cornflower blue. [editline]18th April 2011[/editline] It's almost as if he deliberately sabotaged any addons that make render targets..

^ I couldn't agree more! actually it doesn't make them longer, it just stops the loading. i left it on for 20 minutes and i was on: WireGPU_RT_32 still no start up. -.-

Wiremod has 32 RT textures, not over 200.. Don't exaggerate please, it just makes you look silly.

[QUOTE=MrBuBB13s;29280074]i didnt say over 200??[/QUOTE] Nice post edit. You clearly said 230, but I'm not going to argue with a child.

I get that screen whilst loading as well.

So no-one knows how to fix?

copy your ..garrysmod/addons/wire/settings folder to your ../garrysmod folder. worked for me

This isn't an error. When a script calls GetRenderTarget for one not defined in settings/render_targets, the game lets the player know which script is creating it since these can take some time to create.

That in itself would be a bug. This is intended behavior.

oh and the new update broke many things stargate addon weapons dont fire pewpew aka gcombat doesnt work,generic default weapons sounds are broken vehicle sounds are broken um crowbar sound is broken um crossbow sound is broken wac helicopter had to redo its render target thing and dod sweps sounds are broken,i havent played with everything to see what else is cluster fucked

lol whats learn2computer haha, hmm works fine for you did you restart steam so that the update is applied? and what works fine do you have ep2 ep1 css l4d tf2 and a few popular addons installed? guess not so stfu if you dont know what your talking about.

So are there any GOOD fixes which do NOT cause errors and are a GOOD way to fix it?

[QUOTE=PotcFdk;29332626]So are there any GOOD fixes which do NOT cause errors and are a GOOD way to fix it?[/QUOTE] Until detecting render targets in addons is fixed, you should be able to do this: Copy the contents of wire/settings/render_targets to garrysmod/settings/render_targets. You should delete these after it is fixed, though.
