Loading screen not going away? - Help

Yeah nah, since it's confirmed to be an issue with AMD cards I'm not going to do all of that hassle.

Try changing video settings in the CCC and see if that does anything.

How do you mean? [editline]15th February 2015[/editline] Also, I don't suppose anyone here happens to know someone from the support techs over at the FP office? It'd be hard to roll out a fix if they don't know about the problem.

True but certainly there must be some kind of solution? I mean, what about that other dude you were contacted by? He still have this problem as well? Either way i sent a detailed support-ticket to the Gmod support techs, alongside a fresh DxDiag (IDK if that helps).

You do realize that I am pretty much the only one who works there and answers technical GMod tickets? Try completely [B]reinstalling[/B] your video card drivers. I am assuming that this problem doesn't happen in other Source Engine games? TF2? DOD:S? CS:S? You could also try going to lua/includes/init.lua and start ripping out of there some of the libraries and see if it changes anything. Same for gamemode, try starting in base ( "gamemode base" into console )

Wait, you're working for the support? Also I'll try to reisntall the drivers, as far as I'm aware of all other source games work fine. [editline]15th February 2015[/editline] CS:S works fine. [editline]15th February 2015[/editline] That's odd, HL2 can't launch due to a missing module, could this be related then?

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47146085]That's odd, HL2 can't launch due to a missing module, could this be related then?[/QUOTE] Unlikely, GMod does not use any binaries from any other game.

Alright, gonna focus on the drivers then. [editline]15th February 2015[/editline] Okey, all drivers + Catalyst Control Center are now gone. Ima need to reinstall everything now, yes? [editline]15th February 2015[/editline] - Snip -

Fucking shit, still doesn't work. I guess it's time to switch over to SFM then...

Try wiping this file: [url]https://github.com/garrynewman/garrysmod/blob/master/garrysmod/lua/includes/init.lua[/url] And load base gamemode instead, maybe something from that is causing this ( there's a similar issue on linux with blur )

So do i wipe it entirely?

I'm gonna take a very wild guess here and say that it might be an issue with the used Awesomium build and your graphics card, which might mean you need to get Facepunch to update the bundled build in an update. It's pretty unlikely though, but possible.

Game crashed, new window called Engine Error opened up with the thext "!weapons".

[QUOTE=Viper123_SWE;47157660]I have no clue what this means, but ok.[/QUOTE] Awesomium is like a version of Chromium (basically Google Chrome) which Gmod uses to show webpages, eg. the loading screen.

Try rolling back your drivers for your video card to a previous version. My best guess... Usually any problems with games (after fresh install and removing of mods/addons) are GPU - RAM - CPU.

Except i reinstalled the drivers completely. Anyways, Robo, I need details on what to do with the text?

Man, I sure wish I knew how to fix this shit...

Aeiou

Could playing the game in Dev/Beta-mode help? I know it might not make any sense but I'm trying really hard at this point to stay positive.

Fuck, dev branch didn't work either...

HOLY SHIT I LOADED A MAP [editline]3rd April 2015[/editline] Gonna try another one. [editline]3rd April 2015[/editline] Loaded a second map! [editline]3rd April 2015[/editline] Third map loaded holy shit! [editline]3rd April 2015[/editline] Gonna try loading Construct/Flatgrass sine they always failed before. [editline]3rd April 2015[/editline] Holy, it worked!

What did you change? How did you fix it?

I didn't change anything, it just worked and I have no clue. It had gone a week since my last attempt so I decided to try again and the map suddenly loaded and the loading screen actually went away. By now I've loaded six maps, five with only base content and Workshop addons installed and one with all my user content enabled. So far all six times have worked flawlessly.

I suggest you keep a close eye on what you are doing to your PC/GMod in case it happens again.

Oh I will, I'm super-paranoid that it will start fucking with me again. :v:

Welp, it bappened again. Worked fine for two days, I had played all day yesterday then I installed a big addon and it started acting up.

Dumb question but did you uninstall the big addon.

I tried loading another map, I spawned with the loading screen on however it went away after some patient waiting. I'm fairly sure it haven't done that before. Either way, I cleaned up both my user addons and workshop addons to speed up the loading or incase it fucks up due to me having a shitload of old addons.

[editline]6th April 2015[/editline] I freed up a total of 2GB just now, hopefully that might help in some way.
