Note: This guide is no longer being updated by original poster, check out help.perpheads.com for the updated version. Guide now on help.perpheads.com PRELUDE Hi. If your game is glitching, or have errors everywhere, then you're in the right place! If you have addons you don't want to uninstall or disable, then this guide may have limited positive effect on your game!​

​

INSTALLING OUR CONTENT Here's the easiest part. Install our content pack using this link. You may need to log in to steam if you're opening it in your web browser. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=158185405 Once your download has completed, you can proceed to the next steps.​

FIXING YOUR CONTENT To start fixing your game, it is highly recommended you uninstall all of your addons. There are two ways to completely unsubscribe from all of your addons at once, illustrated below.​

Spoiler: First method.

Spoiler: Second method.

After having followed one of the methods above, quit your game, then purge your Garry's Mod folder of any remaining downloaded content. You can right click your game in your library, click properties, local files and then "Browse" to be taken directly to your Garry's Mod directory. Spoiler: Illustration Now click on the "garrysmod" folder and open it, and then you're ready for the next step. With your Garry's Mod directory open, select the following folders by holding CTRL and clicking on them to select several at once: "addons" "download" "maps" "models" "materials" In the "Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod" directory like so: After selecting all of them, hit delete. Deleting these folders will remove any files that steam failed to remove. If you don't have one or more of these folders, it's not a problem, just delete the rest. After doing this you can launch Garry's Mod and join the server.​

​

END & Tips​

Looking to join the server? You can: - Open your console and type "connect perpheads.com" (without quotes) - Join using the server browser, legacy or otherwise, - Or you can copy this fancy link and paste it into any browser to connect directly to the server. steam://connect/157.90.135.236:27015​

Don't know how to open your console? - Start your game - Click Options then Advanced - Check the following box (Click the images to enlarge) Spoiler: Image - Press the tilde key and your console will appear. Spoiler: Image If you're running Garry's Mod in "64 bit chromium", you may be unable to open your console in the main menu, simply start a sandbox game then open the console, or join via a friend from your friends list.​

This thread is a sequel to: Got bugs? If you really love all the Addons you've installed on your Gmod, don't follow this guide! First make sure you have these first: Half Life 2 installed (Not necessarily required) CS:S installed (Cracked versions aren't guaranteed to work) Both games are activated in-game. (Controller button... perpheads.com It is intended to be an up-to-date version so that new players and old ones alike can easily get into/back into the game with minimal manual help.

You should make ones for help.perpheads!

 

[Efan]

He probably shouldn’t

 

[Exnem]

@Efan What does this mean.

 

[curak]

@Efan That's just rude, exnem has feeling you know!

 

[Exnem]

@curak Correct. I have feeling like you said, but only one, and at all times.

Total emptiness.

https://help.perpheads.com/page/content

 

[Exnem]

@roxie But if the information in that link doesn't help, this thread exists to fully fix Gmod. All https://help.perpheads.com/page/content says is to disable addons.

Conflicting content​

Some users experience issues with models not displaying correctly, this is usually down to conflicting Garry's Mod content in the form of workshop addons or other content in your 'GarrysMod/models' or Addons folder. Disabling these addons prior to joining the server may fix some of these issues.

But what it doesn't say is that certain content does not like being disabled and remains semi-active, conflicting with perp content regardless. It doesn't make much sense that it happens, but it has for me. This especially applies when you've let a server download content onto your PC which for some unknown reason won't stop conflicting with other servers, even after restarting. I've had this happen and it's a pain in the ass to figure out if you know nothing about it. So while I understand your point, there's a valid reason this thread exists.

 

[roxie]

So while I understand your point, there's a valid reason this thread exists.

@Exnem ok cool, but I don't remember saying this thread was useless... Nor do I remember saying a point.

 

[Exnem]

@roxie So what else was it for?

 

[roxie]

@Exnem I remember replying to tyla initially, not you.

 

[Exnem]

@roxie Ah, alright.

 

[roxie]

@Exnem In other words, since Tyla Jai is the Community Manager's Assistant, I was telling him a page like that already existed, and needed only to be updated. So if he wanted to, he could/would do it

 

[Exnem]

@Tyla Jai Done

 

[Efan]

@Exnem it meant V5 was coming so you would need to remake it without CS:S files!
