[FIX] Crashing and Can't get into Server

[Darkside]

Hello

Very recently, I noticed people have been crashing before they get into the Server or they can get into the Server. This is an tutorial how to fix they problems and keep having Fun on Fearless. 

If you Crashing before you get into Server, Follow These Step's :

1. Go to Steam
2. Go to your library and find Garry's Mod
3. Right click where it says Garry's Mod on the Tab on the left and press properties (Shown here > http://i.imgur.com/lNapRnu.png)
4. The Game properties should come up and you press the Button for Set Launch Options
5. Type in -autoexec and press Ok
6. Launch Game and try to join Garry's Mod

Things to note :

*Don't have the game open when you are doing this
*Be Online on Steam


If this doesn't work try these :


-Download the necessary content beforehand (All Content is here)
-Manually delete and reinstall the content
-Disable other addons
-Change your game from 'Fullscreen' to 'Windowed'
-Disable custom content downloading (Options > Multiplayer > Allow custom custom content) 
-Verify Gmod Game cache (Don't know how to Verify Game Cache, look here: http://i.imgur.com/3ZjpEtA.gif)

If you can't Connect but don't crash, Follow these Step's :

Here's a crash dump you can also use to analyze other players' crash issues.
Proved to be useful so far

Crash reports are located in your first garrysmod folder like in my case here:
D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GarrysMod
