If this is garrys mod related, a fresh reinstall will likely fix this issue immediately, but if you are anything like me you’d want answers on why this shit is happening, And that’s a good way forward for stuff like this.
To immediately fix the issue:
- Disable all addons.
- Restart garrys mod
- Only activate content for servers you plan on playing on.
- Restart garrys mod every time you change server.
To get to the route of the issue:
- When playing, make sure you only have 1 addon that is irrelevant to the server you are on running.
- If the adverts persist, it’s either going to be content from the server you are on, or the addon you are playing.
Are you 100% sure this is garrys mod related? Check task manager for any suspicious background processes.
Another pretty probable cause for this could be if you are running a pirated version of garrys mod. Quite often the pirates will piggyback adware into your pirated file which if this is the case you should uninstall gmod immediately and probably wipe your hard drive as adware that’s thrown into pirated software is done so because it’s backdoored to shit.
I know cloud gaming is pretty shit and I wouldn’t think twice about it if they started putting this shit into their content but I don’t reckon they’d just do this unannounced.
@flugs will know more than me on this server though.
