[Tutorial] GMod CEF Codec Fix - macOS

[lewismgza]

Well just an update. I haven't played much this month and I did the latest update ad applied the script which took much longer than others(downloads I saw) and it was working, but next morning I get same problems from full to half as shown below. Do I have to always launch garrysmod via the script as I've been using via steam.

These issues in your screenshots most likely have nothing to do with GMod CEF Codec Fix. GMod exhibits weird behavior on OpenGL sometimes, and this seems to be more of that. You can report these issues on the GMod Issues Github repo instead. Make it clear they're affecting you on macOS and how to reproduce them. If you report these issues, be sure to follow the guidelines here.

That being said, sometimes GMod's x86-64 branch receives updates, and when it does you will need to launch through the GMod CEF Codec Fix executable. You'll know when this happens now because the effect of this will be either a crash on launch or no main menu on title screen.

Hey everyone, we're making some progress on improving/enhancing macOS support (see my recent pull request for details on how), but we could use your help!

If you are technically proficient with macOS and have an Apple CPU system on hand especially, we would love some help with finding out what is causing the crashes on some systems and how we can resolve them. This will go a long way in ensuring as many people as possible are able to enjoy Garry's Mod for years to come. For more info on what we're looking for and how you can help, see @WinterPhoenix's latest issue on Github and our latest update announcement here or talk with us in the #cefcodecfix channel on our Discord.

Been while since played and reinstall my Mac. Im trying to run the chmod +x command but when I drag file I get zsh user permission denied. Ive got full access to terminal in security preferences swell as file and folders, yet it continues.

I don't really want to try and troubleshoot this issue when we're moving away from the old method soon enough anyway. Try the DMG here.
