    whats wrong with the new tool gun, it turns out whenever i use my tool gun alot of errors popup in the corner? what shall i do
  • I lol'd.
  • guest
    this sucks
    now whenever i select my stool gun it shows a whole bunch of lua errors!!!!
  • Deadwalker
    Yeah.... I highly recommend using your computers System Restore to the day before yesterday, it worked for me it can work for you. :D yeah so do that asap aswell.
  • SkarkS
    play singleplayer -> does nothing
    create multiplayer -> does nothing
    gmod settings -> does nothing
    achievements -> does nothing
    tutorials -> Works, but I get a page not found error
    exit game -> works
  • Deadwalker
    I used System Restore to fix my gmods singleplayer and create multiplayer problems, but not the toolgun or Internet games bug, although I did manage to fix the Refreshing Internet games thing by either ( idk which one did it but I'm just glad I fixed it for my self). Verifying Gmod and Defragging it, or typing " heartbeat" into console, I think it's that one ;D
  • exomanhelp
    /hi i have reinstalled wire uster day to fix some of my wire probs and it worked fine now this/ and i came on a few secs ago and evry time i go on my tool gun 10000000 of lua problems come up like this "wire/toolscreen/" and a few other things this is very bad becouse now i carnt make a movie becouse the lua probs keep comeing up
  • The game stopped working for me. I actually thought I had to reinstall because I couldn't mount Half-life: source, Deathmatch and Lost Coast but after reinstalling I am having the same problems Drakis has and I realized I didn 't have to reinstall but that it was actually the patch that caused it. Don't suppose I can get two hours of my life back for troubleshooting a patch that hasn't been properly tested?

    play singleplayer -> does nothing
    load singleplayer -> Since I reinstalled my game I lost all my savegames.
    play multiplayer -> Don't play online but the menu works.
    create multiplayer -> does nothing
    options -> shows options
    gmod settings -> does nothing
    achievements -> does nothing
    tutorials -> Works, but I get a page not found error
    exit game -> works for me as well.

    I finally reinstall the game after a year. First thing i think is "oh new background, cool." then i click single player, nothing happens, just make a beep noise. "hmmm" I thought "must have not installed it right". I uninstall and reinstall. then i try to click single player again, and the same thing happens. "maybe it needs to load more." I leave it for five minuets while i create and enjoy a delicious ham and Colby cheese sandvich. when i get back it still beep and wont do anything. "maybe multiplayer?" I click on create multiplayer and the same thing happens. then i notice achievements "holy cow achievements!" i click it and the same thing happens. by now i was getting a little frustrated. i then click join multiplayer and the join game window pops up. "FINALLY" i join the first game i see and get the achievement for playing a multiplayer game "hot digidy daffodil! I'm on a roll" then the game loads up and i try to open the spawn menu and nothing happens. "hmm" i then switch to the tool gun and get FLOODED with error messages. just before i quit i get the Bad Coder achievement. "um, cool?" that's when i got on here and realized that it wasn't my fault and don't need to worry about it.
  • Vioxtar
    I see you have changed the main menu's font.


    Cool fingers.
  • Crono
    As well as not being able to load the spawn menu. I can no longer play singleplayer. Console says that they are all unknown commands.
    Unknown command "menu_options"
    Unknown command "menu_singleplayer"
    Unknown command "menu_achievements"
    Etc...
    I've reinstalled everything, multiple times...
    Only solution thus far it seems, is to find somebody who hasn't updated and have them send their files to overwrite our own.
  • puthole
    oh my britsh bubble gum
  • puthole
    'daddy what are you doing'

    'playing gmod 11'

    'daddy ur so old i play gmod 34'

    @Byter [GER]
    The bug is from wiremod, so it's their job to fix it. It's not Garry's job to make sure the "most used addon" works.
  • Deadwalker
    I have that same toolgun error that's spamming my console to hell! I thought it was just me, and so I reinstalled gmod but that didn't help. I'm glad I found this though. I knew it had to because of the update, so I guess I'm going without wiremod til' this is fixed, because even if it just spams the console some of my wire tools don't work properly now, like Advanced Wiring... >.< Please Fix ASAP!

    If you guys have bugs to report. Report them directly to Garry via his email (It’s in the TEAM GARRY Link at the top of this site). That or report it on Facepunch.com under help and support.

    Oh noes Garry will get spamed by every gmod player that sends an Email or two

    And the only bug I had was the Wiremod bug

    And its time again to make a background (Me dislikes this one, No offence to guy who made it)

    i went to play today, got the new errors with the toolgun, thought it was one of the new addons i downloaded conflicting with things, so deleted and reinstalled gmod, now most of the buttons at the main menu dont work...

    play singleplayer -> does nothing
    load singleplayer -> pops up load screen, but i have no saved games
    play multiplayer -> pops up join server screen, but i dont play online really
    create multiplayer -> does nothing
    options -> shows options
    gmod settings -> does nothing
    achievements -> does nothing
    tutorials -> pops up, but blank screen
    exit game -> still works thankfully. :P
  • SPYNeox
    The last time i updated my Gmod MY TOOL GUN DID NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!
  • Garry, next time you should check whether your game is working with THE MOST USED ADDON! (phx doesnt matter here..)

    So there are two chances..

    1. YOU CAN JUST FIX THAT
    or, what everyone of us DOES NOT hope is
    2. that the wiremod.com team will fix that...

    But i think thats not a problem for the wiremod team, BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT IS TO DO AND THEY CAN CHECK WHETHER EVERYTHING WORKS FINE!
    And the Lua Error seems to spam with every tool, so its YOUR PROBLEM!

    I hope you can fix it....in this time i'll play another game xD
  • You said it exactly right. It's an add-on. Meaning Garry does not have to look if wiremod works correctly with gmod. Ofcourse it's the best thing to do but not crucial.
  • Julio Garcia
    You Broke The Toolgun. Fix Now >:o
  • It's broken indeed.

    But maybe there's hope; the server update log shows:

    Updating 'GarrysMod Content' from version 73 to version 74

    So maybe it's fixed. Now it's up to steam to get the latest version of the game
  • Pissed Rick
    Wtf, why bring this out if its going to fuck everything up? Didnt you tards think about trying the fucking thing before releasing it.
  • Rorick
    Ok um, I updated and then tried launching a game, everything's ok... right, so then I launch a game, notice the new loading menu, Ok that's cool, get in game, ok, open my spawn menu, OR TRY TO, and get spammed by error's I have COMPLETELY uninstalled GMOD and re installed, the problem persist's on every server I have tried...
  • In Soviet Russia, updates fix things.
  • Richardson, Dezerus
    Garry, you've broken the toolgun. Please fix it.

    Here's the exact LUA output I get when using the toolgun, and it spams the ENTIRE CONSOLE.

    "wire/client/toolscreen.lua:23: attempt to call upvalue '_ViewModelDrawn' (a nil value)"

    This happens with EVERY TOOL if you have Wiremod installed... I suppose I should be waiting for a Wiremod update instead of asking you, but you kind of broke it.

    Ever heard of bug-checking? Yeah, perhaps you need to do that more often. Just a suggestion.

  • Stretch
    yea this is great,but ruined my toolgun and whats with the bone?
  • Avintiquin
    Well this is great for server owners, but it totally ruined my toolgun.
  • CanadianBill
    But... but... the font has changed for everything. The menu, the toolgun, etc. :(
  • Arch
    Uhh...
    GEE THANKS GARRY!
    My spawn menu's giving me lua errorfloods every time I try to open it, and nothing shows up...
    The fonts are bugged...
    I can't open the GMOD Settings or Achievements menus...
    What did you DO?
  • Chewy1993
    What needs to be fixed is those damn Luastringtables errors. Thanks for the exploit fixes though!
  • darkzerxx
    why cant i play single player now when i press it it make s the sound but nothin even the play mulity doesnt work
  • Pox
    Does this update break the autoexec.cfg for anyeone else? I noticed after the update that a good portion of my binds stopped working and noticed that the autoexec seemed to refuse to load. Guess i should stop relying on my shift based alt binds so much.
  • This seems great!
  • anormaluser
    This is brilliant!
  • As a server host i always love to hear about exploit fixes! Thanks A Bunch!
  • Does this mean my Garrysmod will crash less often?
  • Ha! No.
