screen bug (all text becomes blocks)
« on: February 23, 2010, 07:01:05 AM »


does anyone know? something to do with addons im sure but i want to know why it happens, the  only way to make it normal again is to quit the game.

Happened to me too for a little while. Never happened again and I did nothing.

Epic lolz extra fail!!
Having extra addons in you own addons folder is only fun if you play on a single player map or a server that has all of those addons!!

The essential addons list when playing zombie survival.
  • 0 (But you need the mod in the mods folder or you can just join a server and get it.)
The essential addons list when playing wire build (sandbox)

  • Wiremod
  • Adv. Duplicator
  • Wiremod Extras
  • Wire model pack 1
  • Phoenix-Storms (PHX3)
  • SmartSnap

6 not 300!!!  :laugh:

If you have this many addons your GMod will load 10 times faster.

How to fix:
Remove you're Garrysmod folder from here!
steam/steamapps/name/
Run Garrysmod once and load a map
Add the addons above only if you play on sandbox servers otherwise join RND's zombie survival and you're ready to go!!!

i understand only neading certain stuff for online but i also like singleplayer. i like changing te LUA files with one another and testing them out in singleplayer. my pc is fairly fast and takes around 3 min to load but i dont mind. i guess ill copy all my present gmod folders into another backup place (my pc has 640gb of space) and start with a new drawing board.

ps. Do the addons affect the loading time if im in a multiplayer server?

In build servers it will drastically increase the load time, in zombiesurvival it may increase, in Fretta, no extra load time.  :)

It takes me 15secs to load a single player without any addons(25secs for multi.)
30-35seconds with addons(up to 1minute in multiplayer)  ;D

BTW. when you removed you GMod folder you also removed temporary files that would create that error and slow the game down!!  ;D

on vannila gmod it boots in 3 seconds, single players loads in 6 seconds on ultimatum, and MP takes 4 hours cause of addons xD
