[Solved] Crash/freeze retrieving server info

[Empyrez]

i've been having a problem for like 3 months now and i still don't know how to fix it.
when i try to join one of the Fl cityRP servers, it freezes on ''retrieving server info'' for around 1 minute, then the game crashes without an error and i see my desktop.
please help.

Things that might work:

- Turn off or uninstall all addonds not needed for the Server.
- Open the Options in GMod (Main menu) go to Multiplayer and change the last Option to "Allow all custom files from server"
- Create a start option named "-autoconfig".

If the above didn't work, try to find your problem in this thread, it covers nearly all problems:

Did you install the content already?
Because if not, it might work to download and install the content manually:

*Make sure to download all the Workshop content aswell:

If nothing works, check this thread:

And if everything fails, reinstall all the content needed for the server and make sure you got the HL2 and CS:S content so you wont get any errors.

It might not work for you, but I had a similar problem before and I changed over to window mode.
It's also a lot more comfortable and easier to use if you have 2 screens.

Chances are one of DreeBott's answers will work though.

Another great fix for most problems with Garry's Mod is this:

1. Right click your Garry's Mod in your steam library
2. Click properties
3. Local Files
4. "Verify Integrity of Game Cache"

Any update as to whether the problem has been fixed?

I've got the same issue myself, never found a solution. I've had the problem for some years, my only way to connect is to first launch a singleplayer game then connect to FearlessRP servers.
Might work for you also?
