I dont want to make another topic, but I have a similar problem. Whenever I start up gmod, it loads as normal. Then the blue loading bar has no text and the background is black. I move my mouse around and I can still hear the menu sounds.
For me Gmod is more stable with more source games so conclusion to JTs problem is, buy more source games?
press ctrl alt del and the re-open gmod
but u need 2 buy more games that are by valve
No you don't. It was working before I got an update.
but Gmod runs better w/ more valve games
It just gives you more stuff.
Do you have Half-Life 2 preloaded? It should be. And did Counter-Strike have an error or anything? Maybe post your computer's specs.
