Hello! Thank you very MUCH for creating this fantastic script!

Sadly, I encountered a problem yesterday. Before the script, the game was launching but I could only see an endless loading screen. After applying the script game ran, it was terrific. But then the game crashed and Steam told me that one file was corrupted somehow. It downloaded a new one, applied it and when I tried to rerun the game, I got the same endless loading screen as before the script. then I tried to apply the script again but now I get this:
Error: One or More Files failed to match the Original Checksum!
Please go to Steam > Garry's Mod > Properties > Installed Files, Verify Integrity, then try again!

I've done it, all files were good. I've also read here that script updates every 6 hours, so I've waited till now. Tried again and I still have the same problem.

Same as before. There was an update to x86-64 branch just a couple hours ago. That's why it's happening again. I'll manually run our update check, try in around 40 minutes if you're available at that time. Just know that if commits are still being made to the x86-64 branch throughout the day, it will still remain an issue depending on timing. If a commit comes while I'm regenerating the manifest, it won't work even after it finishes.

Works perfectly fine! Thank you very much my friend! <3 Do you have a kofi or other donation system available?

Whenever g mod starts it minimizes and opens around 4 times then its a black screen for another second then it quits and it says it quit unexpectedly.

Are you in full screen or windowed? GMod in full screen is known to have some odd behavior on macOS.
Try using the launch option
Code:
-windowed
