Crashing during 'Sending Client Info...'

**Avi** · 10-21-2017, 07:13 PM

@Dgrif12 that was something that was noted earlier with this issue when I tested it. When I had tf2 mounted to my gmod, I was able to connect to the community I manage, however, I could not connect to the communities having this issue, including this server and the server I am currently tmod for. Which leads me to believe it may be something certain servers have (addons/plugins/etc.) in common causing this issue but I would have no idea about that.

What I've seemed to have found was having Team Fortress 2 (TF2) installed and mounted to Gmod has been causing this issue; they also mentioned PAC3 may affect this as well. I've never played/installed TF2, so I installed it and tested this myself and crashed upon sending client info to another server. I also had people trying to join that server try to join here, and again they crashed upon sending client info; others that couldn't connect to dinks tried connecting to the other server and again, also had the sending client info crash. TF2 also had a major update yesterday, so that may play into it as well.

But yeah, if you are having this issue, try unmounting TF2 from Gmod. Just to explain how:
Launch Gmod, on the main screen, go to the lower right corner and click the game paddle, there you will see different games. Games that are not mounted/installed have an X next to them. Those mounted/installed have a check mark next to them. If you have TF2, scroll down in that submenu to where TF2 is, and uncheck if it is checked and try joining the server.

You're a fucking saint.
Even if you have a penchant for stabbing me in the face.

Actually wait, looking at something my friend said earlier, it sounds like PAC3 plays into this as well.

I took TF2 off and it runs fine now.

Did you make sure to unmount TF2 from Garry's Mod, @Dgrif12?

This worked perfectly. Thank you much!
