Please I just want to play Garry’s Mod.
When does this occur? If you have joined a server and it is happening then try F3 as that makes your mouse independent from the game.

So it’s not just me! I came here to post about this!
I’ve tried hitting F3, Q, C, alt-tabbing, shift-tabbing, verifying my cache, and reinstalling Garry’s Mod.
What happens is my cursor/view will randomly lock while I’m playing TTT and I am unable to move my head. It will eventually after several minutes unlock, but at any time it can strike and it makes the game extremely frustrating. When I hit CTRL (while spectating) or open a menu I am able to move my cursor around. I am able to move my cursor around outside the game.
Please help, I have come back to TTT from a long time away and it makes me sad to suck so much. </3
I also tried installing my mouse’s custom firmware and drivers and that didn’t help either.
I haven’t fully tested this as a fix yet but steam released a client update today that fixes sensitivity randomly changing attributed to the in-game overlay. Seeing how the bug only happened for a minority of people, I think it might have been an interaction with the Discord overlay because I just recently started using it and have been heavily using both. While I haven’t fully confirmed the locking-up bug seems to have stopped.
In the future, try disabling Discord and Steam overlays.
I think this thread can be solved now.

On Linux 64 bit Garry’s Mod it doesn’t have Steam overlay, Discord doesn’t seem to have a overlay on Linux either. It’s just not locking in the window.
I never pressed F3 I can still aim but it won’t lock in the Window.
