hi i have been playing gmod for a long time (currently 1,968.1 hours) and im encountering a issue

[spare night]

the issue I dont know how to explain I've never encountered it before. but it says something about a generic failure.

I'd like for some assistance

also dont mind the Walter White PM I, I used it as a test addon

[static veldt]

i always get that

dont give a shit about it

[spare night]

Well I do because now I can't download add-ons. I comes up with the red out line that means it does not work

i forgor about that part

check that you have enough storage

had same issue before, it’s rather your internet shitting out, or not enough storage

[spare night]

Ight I will try that. I think I have enough storage but well see after I go through stuff

[dull holly]

could you send me an image of your storage

[spare night]

Im assuming you mean by this

.

[dull holly]

[spare night]

idk but when i download addons it dont work and from that i have never see this issue in this server or anyone talk about it so this is new

[dull holly]

so a quick google search gave me this

generic failure seems to be a very broad error and i’m not sure how you can narrow it down

however this post seems to bring up a router issue being the problem

while this is about wallpaper engine, i think you may be able to apply it to gmod as well

take a look at it

I've always encountered issues when usin some OEM's custom network saver thing, they're so stupid and don't even work half the time. So make sure its not some AV or similar to a network saver

Just anything logical which you have just altered and played with, or a new app you just got

fun fact

when you kill that headcrab in garrys mod half life 2 campgin

at the start of the game when u get the hiv suit

it says "killed generic actor"

not "killed headcrab"
