Ive owned my Gmod for a long time, and Ive played it for 1806 hours so far, and then suddenly while hosting my dedicated for me and my friend, im basically slapped in the face, kicked out of the game, and told my copy of Gmod is pirated! (The old polygon rendering whatever).
I'd seriously like to know why my Gmod suddenly decided it wasn't legit anymore.
Heres my steam profile if you don't believe me, ill put "Hello denizens of facepunch" in the comments.

rip
I tried running css to see if the it has the same problem too. I did not crash, however when I tried to join a server I would get a message saying "This steam account does not own this game. Please log in to the correct steam account." This is very strange. It seems as though steam thinks that we have pirated all of our games.
Same here. Glad I'm not the only one holy shit, haha.
Booting up gmod now to check this...
Can any of you guys confirm this:
Before i got the polygon pirate error, I was playing on a server when suddenly i was booted and STEAM told me that I don't own gmod on this account, please sign into the correct account etc etc. When i clicked ok I got hit with the polygon error and am now locked out of gmod. Is this the same for the rest of you?
Also, i tried reinstalling gmod. No luck.
I just booted up gmod and joined a server fine, dunno how far reaching this problem is....
Same here
It may take longer than that Psycho.
Same shit here. I was playing fine yesterday.

Exactly the same issue man
I just tried booting up gmod and it just closes without a message.
Although I haven't played it in over a month, I'll reinstall it.

I was playing in the server for at least an hour before it hit me.

Well I'll keep playing and let you guys know if/when it happens.
Works fine for me
I'm suspecting I'll get the same as it no longer shows on my "LICENSES + SUBSCRIPTIONS" part of my account, as well as this suddenly appeared at the top:

I'll install gmod and see if it kicks me out.

Apparently this steam error has been around awhile. I'm guessing this steam problem is what's triggering the lock out? But I don't really know anything about this stuff so fuck if i can say for certain.
There's like 1 in 10 players left if you look at the server list.
A black ops free weekend?
no wonder everything is falling apart.
Exact same thing as EDDY , I've posted a steam support ticket... But seriously , what the hell...
ps: any coincidence that it happened to so many people all at the same time?
Hahahah oh wow.

And I know FOR SURE I own counter strike source, I've even got the retail box.
Kicked out of steam chat, the servers are fucked.
I looked on the steam forums and there are other people with this problem with their games too. I haven't seen any solutions yet, so we should just wait for steam to fix it.
"but garry, what happens if this anti-piracy thing malfunctions"
"it won't"
woops
Completely lost connection to steam servers, yet I can post here.
What the hell is going on?
yea , steam getting network issues... Fun Fun fun! Gotta get up on FRIDAY!
