[Tutorial] GModCEFCodecFix - macOS

Kevqtz said:
Did that. every time you launch the game it either shows a blue screen or an animation of GMod. I've also tried other fixes and nothing changed. Maybe the new macOS Monterey is somehow interfering with the program?

What version of macOS are you on specifically?

When you launch GMod after applying the fix, does macOS's Console.app say anything? There should also be a file called chromium.log in GMod's install that should have more info

Everything the console says after applying the fix:

No Files Need Fixing!

CEFCodecFix applied successfully! Took 0.9721 second(s).

The game should not be running when you run the fix, as noted in the directions.

You have some sort of trouble connecting to Github. Ensure that you can open this url in a web browser so we can figure out how to proceed.
 
Hi, thank you for working on such a crucial fix!

However, now that my game start without the -nochromium comand with the fix, I have a problem that the main menu is all bugged up and none of the buttons work. So the game starts, but it is still glitched in some way not allowing me to use anything.

This means Chromium failed to load for some reason. Sometimes, for some reason, it may take multiple launches through GModCEFCodecFix for the game to load Chromium successfully on macOS. Give it a few tries and let me know if it fails the same way every time.

Recently tried launching it 5 times are a pc restart and steam restart. Even checked that i do not load any workshop items, but I still seem to get the same bugged menu result.

Ended up running the game through parallels, since no matter how I tried the chromium failed to start.

Curious what system you're running this on. Specs?
 
@Kuzed @Kevqtz @Steintree

Hey, friends! You can see a fix was proposed to us here!

We have implemented this fix and as soon as the manifests are done regenerating, it should be good to go once you finish running GMod CEF Codec Fix again. Thanks for your patience.
 
when i try everything works then when i run it nothing happens for about 10 seconds then it says gmod quit unexpectedly. What do I do?

Good question. Sorry for the delayed response. Can you tell me what model you are on (mostly would like to know if you're on Apple Silicon (M1/M2) or Intel CPU) and your OS version?
Realistically, if I had to throw a guess out, you may have some corrupted files and should verify integrity of your game files, then run GMod CEF Codec Fix again... but this could be a symptom of x64 translation being imperfect on Apple Silicon if you're on an M1/M2 system, as we're having a number of reports pertaining to this lately.
