whenever i run gmod it just quits without opening even after i did the gmod fix thing can someone help me

here is a vid of what happens aswell

its not my vid but its the same thing that happens for me


this is the quit report
Well, for one, if you're copying the video here: Don't.
Do not use any GMod Lua Menus.
Do not use the `-nochromium` flag.

The whole point of using CEF Codec Fix is to not resort to those flawed workarounds.
In your launch flags, instead only put width and height parameters (GMod acts funny without these specified on macOS sometimes)
example for 1080P display
Code:
-w 1920 -h 1080

Otherwise, things should hopefully work. Make sure your installation is completely clear of files and parameters you may have set from using other workarounds. We don't support them as our fix solves the problems the workarounds attempt to.

Your error makes it appear the problem is with SIP, but I don't think you should need to mess with that for the game to work.

Otherwise, things should hopefully work. Make sure your installation is completely clear of files and parameters you may have set from using other workarounds. We don't support them as our fix solves the problems the workarounds attempt to.

Your error makes it appear the problem is with SIP, but I don't think you should need to mess with that for the game to work.
thx for the answer but

Hi! I was running this code until recently, where I ended up uninstalling the game and code as it kept crashing. I reinstalled game, along with downloading the codes and pasted it into the terminal and nothing is happening. The files won't execute nor will the game run on my MacBook Air. For reference I am on Ventura.Screenshot 2023-05-26 at 06.21.54.png

You did the step correctly to make the file executable in your screenshot here, now you just need to run it. Double click on "GModCEFCodecFix-macOS"
It may need to be allowed to run through System Preferences -> Security, but it should be usable after that.

Got it working again as per your instructions!
Appreciate the response, thanks again x

Glad to hear it! Let me know if you have any other issues with it in the future :) macOS is quite an enigma but we're doing our best to ensure things are working for as many players as possible. Thanks for reporting back.
 
We have received reports that GMod is failing to launch on macOS Sonoma currently.
If you wish to be able to play GMod on macOS, please do not upgrade to macOS Sonoma until further notice. Thank you!

I'm unsure if this failure to launch is something we can patch or if Facepunch will need to fix it, but our patches currently do not resolve this crash.
 
when will there be an update for macos?
CEFCodecFix updates for changes on macOS GMod builds automatically every 6 hours. If you're getting an error like "failed to match original checksum," let us know and we can trigger a rebuild sooner.

Hey, @JakeR

It may not word it the most user-understandable way, but what this usually means is that there was a GMod update and you have to wait for the manifest to regenerate to update the checksums. Exactly as WinterPhoenix said and you replied to here. I've triggered the update check manually three times today, but Rubat keeps updating the x86-64 branch so it keeps getting overridden. I've triggered it one last time since a number of people have been complaining, but I can't keep up with this all day. If it happens again, you'll have to wait for someone else to take care of it or for it to run on it's 6h timer.

It should be ready and fixed in about 30-40 minutes. Try again at around 2:40 PM EDT.
 
newest release cuz gmod updated won't even let me launch gmod it just keeps telling me that i need to verify the integrity of gmod

This is normal when there's an update. You typically just need to wait a bit for the manifest to be updated. It should be working now.
If it doesn't work the next time you try to run it, validate files and try one more time.
