Stuxk on loading screen the one with the three buttons moving ina pattern

[Lava_Master]

It just stays on the loding screen and then say's Lost Connection to Server.

I dont understand what the problem is, is it loosing connection or game crashing?

honestly at this point since nothing has worked for you just join and leave your PC alone while it loads, it might be that it’s just taking longer than usual to initialize

Alright, after reading all of this it sounds to me like your computer cannot handle the game mode itself, which is why it crashes before you can even get in. This could be for many reasons.

1. Garry’s Mod source engine is very old, with lots of addons and game modes to support.
2. Your computer is not functional enough to handle Monolith. -Can you join any other servers? Even a default sandbox? Single player?
3. Your internet is blocking a connection.
4. Firewall is blocking a connection.
5. You have too many addons.
6. You’re only using 1 CPU to run Garry’s Mod.

Below, I will include many fixes to all of these problems. (Tomorrow when I can get on my PC and present visuals and steps.)
