Demos crashing GMOD

[maeen]

Heya,
I've been trying to access a demo now, and it loads in, but as soon as I am in, GMOD crashes. Files and Game verified.

Unable to access console to get any idea of what could be happening.

I have also installed GMOD on the SSD, and previous to this, when it was on the HDD, it did work and load fine, with no issues.

Before the crash happens, its asking to open some gluapack file, to which I cannot do anything, as it just crashes when on that.

Any suggestions?

can you try joining the server first and then loading the demo?

 

[maeen]

I always do that, does not help.

Tried installing the content aswell as told by Oddy, did not help.

Steam Workshop::Perpheads content

Steam Workshop: Garry's Mod. The content of the Perpheads PERP roleplay server

seems like a Lua thing, does it happen with every demo you try loading into?

 

[maeen]

I've only tried this one,
Will try another

 

[maeen]

No demo will load up, all crash the game.

I've had the same issue happen to some demos I tried to view. I don't know how to fix it, but it doesn't happen to all of my demos, only some.

 

[maeen]

Ill send it to Oddy to see if he experiences the issue aswell. Kinda need it to review it asap

Try deleting GMOD’s cache, downloads, and lua\cache folders, disable all addons), verify permissions on the SSD install, and relaunch the game with -condebug -noworkshop -disableluarefresh to rebuild caches and check for Lua pack errors

Otherwise, disable/ delete the content folder of perpheads eg Content 1/2/3. redownload them.

I just downloaded them. I didnt have them when I first tried loading it.

Oddy told me to do the same, did not work.

Have you done this?

 

[maeen]

I have reinstalled the game, verified cache, deleted all addons, reinstalled all addons.

This is what comes up https://gyazo.com/39f0cf375a7934e3353585b0beefe3ba then it closes.

I've also tried on other demos, the same happens there aswell.

IF you go to properties into gmod and then add this -condebug -noworkshop -disableluarefresh
Then attempt to entr the demo, does it do the same?

Yep.

It says also that the addon "phac" is creating some issues.

The crash TXT says "*Not in Lua call OR Lua has panicked*", no clue if that says anything.

Your crash is caused by the addon “Phac”, which is making GMOD’s Lua system panic and shut down i think, go to your gmod addons folderi and and remove any file or folder with “phac” in the name, then delete the lua\cache folder and restart the game it should stop crashing after that

Opt out of Gluapack by following this guide https://gluapack.com/help/?u=http:/...pack/bd6ace9944344f9fb392a2d9e56c226d.bsp.bz2

Adding +tv_nochat no_gluapack to your launch options should do it if you still get a message about this

I cannot locate the Phac addon, nor do I even know what it is. So that's another stopper.

Opt out of Gluapack by following this guide https://gluapack.com/help/?u=http://fastdl.gluapack.com/5f68a2de78a5a0cd1a8fe7265204e60b/data/gluapack/bd6ace9944344f9fb392a2d9e56c226d.bsp.bz2

I've tried doing this now, but the gluapack picture sent previously, still pops up and the game crashes.
*EDIT*

Follow the opt out of gluapack, and that seems to have fixed it.

Thanks for the update.

And please make sure to opt back into Gluapack once you're done with the demo
