Garrys mod Closes on startup

rustyx382 · 08-12-2012, 10:17 PM

Garrys mods been working well forever, but today when I try opening it, it closes before the blue loading bar can appear
I've tried many fixes but non would work
Tried things:
-dxlevel 81
-windowed
Deleting the cfg folder
Deleting the bin folder
Full re-installation.

I can run any other source games perfectly fine at highest graphics, but garrys mod is not working anymore

If you know a fix, or maybe Garrys messed up again
Please, reply

Edit :
New stuff tried

Rollback
Updating drivers

Garry's probably messed it up again. Honestly more and more people are coming by with these mysterious 'it used to work, system is fine' but the game just won't run.

G13 will drop next month, so I'm not really sure what to tell you. How about your video drivers? Have they updated recently? (do you have them automatically updating via either Windows / your OS, or Steam?) If they recently updated and now you can't play, roll them back?

Gmod Beta 13 works well, but still no lock with GMOD after rollbacking my computer and updating my drivers. any clue ?

No freaking idea. I dunno, might just wait it out. If you're on the beta, you'll know more than me about how it's progressing. I'd guess they're concentrating their efforts on it, rather than updating the older version, which will be replaced on our rigs anyway with 13 when it drops.
