Problem with menu load of gmod
Good afternoon, I hope someone can help me to solve this problem, I have not been able to access the game menu for 2 weeks because I get a message that says “Menu failed to load: This could be due to missing game files (run verification of game file integrity through Steam), or the HTML engine failed to load.”, and only the buttons to access to the server table, the game options and exit, I followed the instruction and activated the local file verification to see if it was, it did not work. I deactivated all the addons of the game to see if it was because of that and of course, before running it I activated again the local files verification, it still doesn't work, finally I tried to open the developer console to load the map from there but it doesn't open. I have tried to look for information on the internet but I did not find answers to my case, maybe I did not search well, but there were no solutions, so I send this to the steam forum to see if someone can help me, I would appreciate it.

EDIT 02-08-2025 22:26: I was able to make the game load a map from the game properties like “+map gm_flatgrass”, but I still have the problem with the menu, it is uncomfortable for me to write the map I want to enter using the properties, so I looked for a “solution” by myself. I got a patch that is supposed to fix certain problems of the gmod, it's called GModCEFCodecFix, I ran the program, applied the patch and tried to run the game, but at the time of loading just closes and does not reopen, so I still have the same problem. Again, I would be grateful if you could give me a hand.

I have the same problem after reinstalling the GMOD to another drive
I have solved the problem. Download GModCEFCodecFix.

What a mess! I just ran the patch and was hoping you'd solved the problem, but the game won't even finish loading and just closes. I followed all the steps and checked again, but I'm still stuck with the same problem :/

Anyway, thank you very much for taking the time to help me.
Hmm... The most basic thing is to try to install the game by additionally deleting the folder.
Try to change the version to Chromium if you are using the main one and vice versa.
I did that, but I'm still in the same situation. I'm starting to think I have malware because it's really strange.
