Also, @"Nightmare"

Just realised I didn't have EP2 mounted, mounting never seems to work for me so I will delete my textures and redownload them all from this: https://kajar9.wixsite.com/cscheater2/downloads

Hey there @Quest! To me, this seems more like a driver issue rather than one that'd be affected by content. Have you checked for any driver updates? Also, what graphics card are you using?

I have a Samsung Laptop and my DirectX graphics card is a 650m with 500mb Sad

Update: I fixed that but now I have more broken textures: https://i.imgur.com/mZNXoc1.jpg

500mb of VRAM?

Yup Sad, I have fixed the issue but now I have another texture issue ^^^

RE: Black Screen and Invisible GUI after joining LL - Night - Mar 20, 2017

What's the texture issue?

Generally cards need more than 500mb of VRAM to play on the server properly, so that may explain why everything was looking black for you in-game.

Doubt it, been using this laptop for ll for a year, this is the first time it has happened.

RE: Black Screen and Invisible GUI after joining LL - Night - Mar 20, 2017

I've experienced it before when a card had a very minimal amount of VRAM. I can't exactly see it being something else - especially considering you're running off a laptop Tongue

RE: Black Screen and Invisible GUI after joining LL - Night - Mar 20, 2017

Just to make sure it is a VRAM issue that you're encountering:

Please go to Steam, and put -condebug into your launch options. If you're not sure how to do this, then please open the spoiler at the bottom of my post.

Once you've done this, connect to the server and play until you encounter the issue. Once you've encountered the issue, exit the game and go to your Garry's Mod directory. You should then find a file called console.log

Open up that file, copy all of the contents of that file and then upload it to Pastebin. You can then either send the pastebin link to me via Forum PM or as a reply to this post.

That cant be fixed with CSS / HL2 as i do have the same texture issue & i do have CSS & HL2 Ep 1&2 as games installed its a texture from an unkown origin.

You need to be on the server & experience the issue before posting your log otherwise I won't be able to tell what's wrong sadly.

^^ Hope this one works ahaha, it's a lot longer

RE: Black Screen and Invisible GUI after joining LL - Night - Mar 22, 2017

Nothing there points to a VRAM issue specifically. I see no issues in that log.

Just to confirm, you definitely encountered the bug before copying in that console.log you put in the spoiler above?
