[QUOTE=oogaboogaman;38428338] I can crash it 100% using the right click "look at me" function with the Eye Poser tool.[/QUOTE] I can confirm that this is happening to me as well.

HOW TO FIX :DDDDDD fix garrys mod by doing this: Open garrys mod, let it crash but DO NOT close the message Start up garrys mod again and it should work.

[QUOTE=Skaroo;38428244]He'll fix it. You all know that Garry has faulty systems. It'll be up and running in a few weeks time I'm sure. Until then my suggestion remains to go play with your 3DS or something. :L[/QUOTE] a few weeks?

The temporary fix worked for me, but if it's not for you, try loading a game that doesn't use source first, and then open Garry's Mod with the other game still open. (You can close it afterwards though) The more complex/newer the game is, the better chance it will work. Apparently the bug is (someone is telling me all this this, idk if it's true or not) that the DX9 libraries aren't opening fast enough for Gmod and it trips over itself and crashes. Loading game that uses the same libraries that aren't being loaded fast enough will fix the problem, hence why opening Gmod a second time over the crashed instance works, because even though the game is crashed, the libraries are still loaded.

Yep letting it crash, not closing the dialog and firing it up again will let you play. Odd, but it works.

we cant blame valve anymore for breaking gmod :P

I really should learn to Google before deleting my entire Gmod install. *sigh*

I'm getting the same thing. hl2.exe has stopped responding upon startup, doesn't even get to the main menu.

Just seen another thread, launch the game, let it crash and then press Alt+Tab together and cycle through back to steam and launch the game again. Somehow it skips the crashy bit and the works fine for me so far. Hope this helps :)

Got the same error, theres nothing we can do, we can just wait. I decided to update my servers meanwhile.

It works if you run the game, then don't hit the close game button but just alt + tab to the Steam page and then run it agan. I am playing now :)

Hey my GMod is updating right now, maybe the fix? :3 EDIT: Nope, still crashes... [editline]13th November 2012[/editline] My game works strangely if I don't close the error message and then start it again. Less fps, lower texture quality at my Physgun and water is completely white from above and pink from below (underwater)

working for me now just fine

Works Fine For Me.

Aaaand now he broke the finger poser tool, Ffs.

It works good, just the water is still white and my physgun looks shitty... I also deleted the -dxlevel 8 at startup options

Could anyone help me with a windows XP problems with Garry's Mod. ): Unless the game is actually still broken but my friends can get on it. ):
