-Lua Stack Traces-

Server

MenuSystem

I've now allocated more RAM on launch, should this fix it or is it something else? Looked online for solutions & it says changing back to 32bit might fix it but that's not really an option for me.

This is the version of gmod I'm using:

Any ideas?

I've found this of someone having a similar problem, I suppose it's worth a try to see if it'll help. Can't confirm if it will, though.

Tried most things in it except the opengl bit, worried about that causing issues though, will give it a try and get back to you

Usually what helps is reinstalling the game, reinstalling hl2 resources, or verifying game files on steam. I had this issue, and it helped, seems obvious, but helps.

I would do this in the following order:
1. Verify game files
Did not help?
2. Reinstall hl2 resources
Did not help?
3. reinstall GMOD, and install hl2 resources

Tried all of these a long time ago and they've never helped

Chat GPT isn't mistaken, as the errors indicate some lua script errors. Did you edit, tried to write some lua scripts that might be running while the game is on? Try unsubscribing to suspicious/discontinued/poor quality addons in workshop, and delete all external lua files if they are existant.

How long has this been going on for?

I have crash logs as far back as early 2020 with the exact same thing

Thats really weird. I've had something like this happen with other games and I've had to delete everything and reinstall it only to fix it. With Gmod i had something semi-similar a while ago but verifying game cache fixed it for me

What's your setup then? Are you using SSD? maybe some files corrupt, or don't load in time? Is your CPU recent, and high end? I guess gmod can run on anything, however it might be poorly optimised for more recent setups?

using samsung 850 evo SSD

i5-8600k, not too recent but decent

 

[tymon007]

Yeah the setup seems pretty normal, so unfortunately other than what I told before, I cant really help. LMK if any of this helped, maybe you'll just have to reinstall the game from time to time, in order to avoid those crashes for some time.

Can you post the most recent crash dump file?

Maybe they can help you? Someone else might have a solution here aswell but I think going to facepunch forums (if they're still up) will help you
