[QUOTE=CoolCorky;20402110]There have been 2 updates since then. If it was a problem caused by the update it would have been widely reported and fixed in the subsequent 2. :colbert:[/QUOTE]
ok fine, explane then why if i did not add anything or mess up my gmod or steam from a week or so before that update to now, what is wrong? It was the update, because I did not do anything else that would have messed up gmod
Can you two take this somewhere else? This is a help thread, not a flamewar
well im not starting a flamewar, i am just simple stating that i think it was an update
I've had this problem on 2 Different Computers. Both without addons to start with.
delete addons?
Problem is fixed for me.. fixed itsself.
[QUOTE=_ExileZ_;20218397]I have the same problem. But it's a little different, instead of moving stuff (The squares) It like freezes on "Retrieving Server Info" then unfreezes for a sec and freezed on "Sending Client Info" then it stays frozen for about 2-5 mins and unfreezes, it loads for a sec and it goes in to the game. Really annoying :S[/QUOTE]
This is what happens too me.
Nothing really helps except for hitting Shift+Tab.
I managed to fix it myself,
-Create a new notepad document
-In the document type "hl2.exe -game garrysmod" (without the " things)
-Save it as "Gmod.bat" and make sure "save as all files" is selected
-(Optional) Create a desktop shortcut
This bypasses the steam "preparing to launch" window and starts up gmod instantly. It also seems to make it load faster, though I am not entirely sure of this. Happy playing!

Forgot to mention, save it in the root garrysmod folder (Program files>steam>steamapps>garrysmod)
Would that mean that I can't use Steam overlay ingame though?
[QUOTE=Chris220;20469426]Would that mean that I can't use Steam overlay ingame though?[/QUOTE]
Nope, everything works normally. Steam still runs the game, it just doesn't launch it. The overlay lays *heh heh* intact.
Rated clock for obvious reasons.
Anyways back on topic.Some time ago it took me almost half an hour to load!Now after the update and cleaning (I now have just PHX3,Wiremod,Gcombat+extended and a few minor mods to help construction) its down to almost 5 minutes.And about the "prepearing to launch game"....I think that steam is just playing sh*t with us!How come a cracked version of ANY steam game would start up IMEDIATLY after the non-steam shortcut has been pressed and steam takes a sh*t load of time!Me and my friend even did a test comparing a downloaded and cracked version of Episode 2 to a steam one...3 minutes difference!
If that's the case, I'll modify all my shortcuts to do that :P
Might as well ^_^
