[SOLVED] Oh dear.

--- Ignore, solved ---​

So here i am. Asking a group of people for help that i haven't spoken to in ages.. anyway.

So for a while now i keep timing out when joining the server, it goes to "Sending Client Info" and then bam "Player: HyDro Killer timed out.".

It is really starting to annoy me that i cannot join the server as I've been wanting to get back into PH for a while now but anything i try just doesn't work. I have verified integrity of game cache about 100 times and that has not done anything; my internet has been reset and restarted yet still no luck and i have even gone to the extent of completely reinstalling GarrysMod yet, guess what. Nothing.

Over the past few months i have spoken to various staff members and community members about my problem and unfortunately they do not know the answer which i do not criticise as all the sources i have found do not work either.
So instead i am reaching out to all the IT specialists that know about source in particular and whether this is a connection error or just a game error.

I have one request to ask though, if you do know any solutions i cant try, please post it below even if you can't be bothered to write it out. This has been a recurring problem that only happens when i try and join PH and i would appreciate it if i could get back into the lovely roleplay that PH has to offer for my summer holiday.

All the sources that i have used as well as friends and my own interpretation all suggest the same things in order to sort the problem. That i should verify integrity of game cache and if that doesn't work i should reinstall Gmod. Yet i have no luck.

Sources (i have used that don't work):

Thank you and i hope someone, somewhere can help me out xx

P.S. If you have a suggestion for me then please check that i haven't already tried it i.e i don't want 20 replys telling me to reinstall GarrysMod. Thank you.

Edit:
I know that at least one person will most likely suggest that i try verifying again so i did it whilst writing out this passage of writing and here is my result:

I have this sometimes, I just keep trying to join then if you still can't join then restart your internet and it should be fine.

Reinstall Windows.

Edit: If nothing else is working for you, its the solution that always works.

Turn it off and on again?

Seriously; Try joining the server via "connect 151.80.47.13:27015"
Your error could of been caused by us upgrading, dont take my word for this though
