Windows Codec Patch Game Crash.
To whom it may concern,
I'm not sure why, or what is causing this issue. However, every time I have run the patch command, then relaunched Gmod, it has caused it to crash merely 25 seconds after launching. - Then after verifying the integrity of Gmod files, it said that I didn't have the patch downloaded and would need it to see what was on cinema screens. When I downloaded it again, it did the same thing, where it was crashing within 25 seconds of launch.
Whether this is a patch bug, or possibly something I can resolve, I am unsure. - However, thank you for your time and hard work, and hopes to hear back from you soon.
- Max.
This is on Windows? Strange. I doubt it's anything to do with GModPatchTool. Much more likely it's one of your addons.
When you say "25 seconds," what do you mean exactly? On the main menu? Trying to join a server/start a game?
I also had a crash problem. When sending an XMLHttpRequest (POST method), if the send function is set to undefined or null, the game crashes.

@ImPerzz That could very well be a different issue. Can you provide the JS code that causes your crash?

Can you tell me where I can send it? I can't distribute it publicly.

Hello! I forgot about this, I resolved the issue. The issue was when I was idle on the menu/or loading into a server it would crash within 25 seconds of launching the game. So within 25 seconds of the game being loaded up.
However, I figured out what happened, for some reason when I was running the patch, it was messing with the game integrity. So I had to validate the integrity, which was getting rid of the patch. Then I had to continue running the patch, rinse and repeat process. I digress, I fixed it by switching the Gmod from x86-64, to None, let it redownload, then switch it back to x86-64 to allow it to run alongside the patch.
Updated. Surprisingly, the crash actually occurs due to any Javascript exception or error. Each mistake led to the end of the game.

@ImPerzz Your issue appears to be an issue with 32-bit. We recommend using 64-bit on the x86-64 branch as a general rule. It's unknown if or when this'll be fixed as 32-bit support is low priority for us.
