Crashing when joining

[mightymelon]

Whenever I try to join I go fine until getting to "ugficons" and then it stays there for a long time. After this I usually time out or crash. Even when I get in the server I always end up crashing after a maximum of about ten minutes and usually only a couple minutes. This doesn't occur with any other server, and I've seen plenty of other complaints about this with no solutions offered that I can find.

have you uninstalled the chromium branch off of Gmod?

 

[mightymelon]

Yes, I did that and it's still doing the same thing. I've done everything else (lowering graphics, allocating more ram, factory resetting, uninstalling, etc.
Also, it's resource/fonts/ugficons.ttf in case there was any other "ugficons" thing.

That's not it

Try the following options: (Not a certain order to be followed)
1. Verify Integrity of Game Files - Go into your Steam Library --> Right Garry's Mod --> Properties --> Local Files --> Verify Integrity of Game Files (Probably take between 5-30 minutes, depending on amount of files and computer)
2. Unsubscribe from all addons/subscribed items and then re-subscribe - Go to the steam workshop and navigate to Garry's Mod by searching it --> Find the browse option and hover over it (next to, "Home," in the middleish) --> Subscribed Items --> Unsubscribe From All (Will only unsubscribe from Garry's Mod's subscribed items or addons) --> Navigate to the Monolith content page and reinstall all of them again (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=932041100)
3. Take every command out of your launch options - Steam library --> Garry's Mod --> Properties --> General --> Set Launch Options (Clear all of them)
4. Make sure you are not opted into any beta you don't want to be in - Navigate to your Gmod properties and your betas section and opt out of all beta programs
5. Hopefully it doesn't come to this but you may need to reinstall gmod (Probably should use this as a last resort)

Please reply if any of the options above helped or please reply if they did not. Thank you!

I've done all of the above. Originally it was just Monolith that I couldn't join but now I'm not able to join any server whatsoever.

If you have any antivirus software or any programs that modify games you play, you should probably try temporarily disabling them/uninstalling them. Additionally, if any crashlogs have been created in your Garry’s Mod files please send those too.

I don't think any programs are causing issues. Also, the "way" my game crashes has now changed to just "not responding" and having a Windows pop-up ask whether or not I want to wait or close GMod. Again, this happens on every server now. Singeplayer can launch, though.

I'm going to give you some more options to try:

1. Make sure your drivers are updated, all of them especially your graphics card.
2. If your Garry's mod stops responding when loading in, be patient and wait a few minutes to see if it begins to respond again.
3. Set Garry's Mod as a higher priority over other programs - Go to task manager --> Go to the details tab at the top (after pressing more details if needed) --> find and right click your hl2.exe (Garry's Mod exe) --> set priority to high/above normal (Not sure if I exactly recommend to set to realtime)
4. Start up a singleplayer on the truenorth map used for Monolith and then try to join the server.
5. Go to the Garry's Mod file folder and rename the folder of garrysmod - Steam --> steamapps --> common --> Garrysmod --> Right click garrysmod folder and rename it to garrysmodtest (Or anything, the name does not matter) --> Re-launch your game
6. I am not sure if you really want it to come to this but if you have a Windows computer you can reset it. (This will completely wipe the files so you just have to reinstall the games back and applications, windows will remain)
7. Try different launch options, for example: -dxlevel 90 | -dxlevel 91 | -dxlevel 95 | (These go in completely separate, not all at the same time) or you can try running in windowed mode or windowed fullscreen.

Please provide any crash reports you get in the Garry's Mod folder/files so we can even further attempt to zone in on the problems causing your issue.
