I cant connect to v4b1.
Ingame sounds can be heard but im stuck in loading screen (Sending client info).

I have all content packs + halloween content + Halloween snpcs.
The v4b1 map I use is the same as on LL.
All other addons are disabled.
Game cache has been verified.
I have CS:S and HL2 content downloaded (Not actual games)

I have read your guides but dont seem to know why I cant connect.

Try this.

You will have to have low resolution textures, but atleast you will be able to connect. Also, don't worry about the resolution, you can change it later.

I believe that issue is different than this one .

Please do me a favour and attempt to connect whilst staying within the Garry's Mod window. Do not attempt to open the Steam overlay or interact with any other window whilst Garry's Mod is attempting to load you in.

If this fails, let me know.

I always connect without Steam Overlay or leaving the window, as my computer seems to freeze if I do so while joining a server, no matter what server it is.

Unfortunately, it fails on LL.

Thank you for taking your time helping me, .

, unfortunately your tip didn't work either.

Okay, is it only Limelight that your client fails to connect to?

If so, please add -condebug to your launch parameters and attempt to join Limelight. Once you've experienced the issue on your client, exit out and navigate to your base GMOD directory. A new file will be there named console.log

Please upload the content of that file to a pastebin then link it in here or PM it to me.

If you can't remember how to add launch parameters, then in the spoiler is a GIF that'll show you.

Alright, I attempted to connect again and I got you the console log thing,

Ah, I see your issue.

You've got a similar problem to what Jim encountered but it doesn't seem to be exactly the same. As you've said you already attempted to add -dxlevel 95 to your launch parameters (if you haven't then please do so and let me know) we'll proceed to diagnosing your textures as this is also something that can trigger the issue your getting now.

Have you bought CS:S or ripped it from a content pack?

I ripped it, will test -dxlevel 95

-dxlevel 95 does not work. It shrunk my screen but the problem remained.

-dxlevel is supposed to do that to your resolution.

Where did you get the content from and how is it installed?

Did you recently updated your graphics driver? Also what graphics card are you using?

Mind listing the specs of your computer?

The error I'm seeing from your GMOD is DirectX saying it's unable to make the necessary calls required to deal with the stuff the gamemode is asking it to render. Generally, this is caused by GMOD not being able to detect the textures needed or an issue with DirectX itself.

Could you show me the folder structure of the file your using as content for CSS?
