RE: Black Boxes Everywhere When You Join - Project - Oct 7, 2016
Alright, do the following for me,
Tell me:
When did this start happening.
When this started, did you download anything that could interfere with it?
Do you get that problem on other servers?
Go to Options>Multiplayer> and make sure you selected "Allow all custom files from server"
What graphics card do you use?

Try updating your graphics card drivers and tell me if you still have problem and again, do you get any errors in console after you join limelight?

Did you start getting the errors after you changed your graphics card?
RE: Black Boxes Everywhere When You Join - Mc'GopnikMeme - Oct 7, 2016
if im not wrong it started before i changed but then it would just turn the text into boxes after a while of playing, recently when i have tried to go on the server it has just been all black like it would not load the visuals of the map but i could still sometimes do things like punch and stuff
RE: Black Boxes Everywhere When You Join - Project - Oct 7, 2016
It could be conflicting drivers or something along the lines of that.
I am out of ideas, I will page an expert, @Burnett if you have any ideas please help!

Your GMOD might be running on the wrong graphics card, your computer might be using the integrated graphics card instead of the main one. You need to go to the Nvidia Control Panel, Press Manage 3D settings, global settings and click preferred graphics processor making it the main one, and then go to program settings, choose gmod and make sure it's using that one also.
Big thanks to @Bambo for informing me about this (and pretty much writing all this).

Did you try the second part?
Also try restarting your computer if you changed the graphics settings.
