Screen Freeze

[Mci]

There was a bug on the one factory map in GMod TTT where upon the T releasing the zombies, my screen froze completely. The game accepted all inputs still, and everybody could hear me, but the visuals decided to not work. I do not know if this is a one-time glitch or not, but it was game-breaking enough to report.

I am willing to go through and look for it again. It could have been an isolated incident, but it was releasing the fast zombies on a specific map. I will attempt to find it again, and provide pictures of the location.

I know what map you're referring to, but I've never heard of something like that happening. If you can find a way to replicate the issue and give us as much information as possible such as how many people were on the server, what you were doing when it happened, did anything other than the zombies being released happen, etc. then we can try and figure out what caused it.

I know usually when system-freezes occur, it's just attributed to a hardware/software issue, especially when it's isolated to just you.

Maybe your processor/gpu just received too much to process? I know freezes happened a lot to me when I tried running high graphics settings with my old computer setup.

That's the thing though, it wasn't a system freeze. Everything else on my computer ran fine. I could tab around, the people in the server were able to see me moving when I input the keys, and they could hear me speak. I could tab out and back in without issue, and manipulate everything else in my desktop. The only thing that was wrong was the visual output from GMod.

I can not recall who was on, but I do know I was the one who released the Zombies. The second the door shattered for the zombie container, instant visual lock-up. They tried to kill me to see if it would fix the issue (I told them I was the T. It's not fair to them if I can't do anything), and it did nothing. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful in getting them to play the map, so it has not been replicated.

Idk. I know I've had this exact issue before especially if I tab in and out of Garry's Mod a lot (it's not the most stable game). But yeah if you can replicate the issue that would help decide which of the two possibilities (client vs server) is the cause a little more.

okay, first of all the map is ttt_old_factory. I have no crashed yet as of sending this, but other members in the server have confirmed that opening the fast zombies crashes some people's games randomly. We have not found a pattern, but other players have confirmed it to me.

I haven't heard about anyone else having this issue
