Alright, so a couple months ago one of my friends would engine error, and removing textscreens fixed the issue and i readded it last night and now it is back.

Players will only recieve engine errors with no context.

I know for a fact it is textscreens as i have removed it and players can join, then when i add it again they engine error.

For some reason i was able to get ingame and now all of the perma textscreens are weapons

you will find a picture below
alot of my players have commented on the workshop page as i run a popular server
sorry for the workshop spam

If you can help me fix this issue (obviously i need textscreens) I will gladly donate to you

Thanks for reading my report

Hi Geno,

Thanks for the report. I did push a change over the weekend which may have inadvertently switched some font indexes around, causing the weapons font to now be where boogaloo was - you’ll have to recreate the textscreens to resolve this.

In regards to the engine errors, that’s a lot more tricky. Do the errors generate any crash reports or mdmp files? Is it specific maps? Is there a sure-fire way I can reproduce the issues?

No, there is no reasoning behind it, i put ONLY textscreens on a test server and the same thing happened...
Im thinking maybe the players have something wrong with their .gmad?

That's quite unlikely.

I'll need you to gather some more information from users that are crashing please so I can debug this further, and find any similarities between users.

  • What is the output of mat_dxlevel?
  • Is there a specific map this occurs on?
  • Have they tried verifying integrity of game cache?
  • Check "Set launch options" in steam library on gmod. What options are set, if any?
  • If any crash dumps are created (.mdmp files), please provide them.

The more information that can be provided here, the further I can look into this. If you can find a specific setup, map, settings, etc. where I can replicate the issue locally, even better. 👍
