Demo Error.

[DanielRabbit]

I have an error when starting up a demo.

DataTable_ParseClientsFromBuffer failed

I need to know what this means and how to fix it. If someone knows or has come across this and fixed it would be very helpful.

I had the same error a while ago.
I verified integrity of the files trough steam then launched gmod trough x86 branch and it worked fine for me.

It is most likely going to make an impact on my IA

Did you verify files?

Demo's tend to go corrupt for silly reasons but it could be the 29 october update. from what date was this demo? If it was from before the update you can follow this guide to downgrade your garry's mod to an older version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails?id=1873297334
