So i bought 5 boosters and i was gonna come on when i launched gmod but then it said i was running gmod but it would not let me play it, it did not appear at the bottom of my screen it was just a background process that was using like 1 mb/s and now it jsut won't let me load when i tried to load it again it says "failed to update"(game already running) or something like that but i tried to restart my pc,gmod i closed all steam related thing but it won't let me on... anyone know how to fix?
Alrighty, try going to properties, local files, browse local files and then launch hl2.exe manually. That way we can find out if it's a Steam issue or game issue.
I'm just trying things that have helped me in the past
still now working does that mean its a game issue?
Yeah, tbh I would just say uninstall it and install it again if you have spare time. All of your mods will stay on the cloud, you'll just need to install them all again. Sorry I can't think of a proper solution, this just seems like the easiest way
