Apex Legends: Revenant (PM + Ragdoll)
Addon Error?
So, I'm not sure what the issue is and whether or not it's just me, but for some reason I can't fully use this addon. Whenever I load into Gmod I get the message "Addon (insert addon name here) failed to download: Steam Error: Access denied (Item hidden/banned?)" I knew this meant something was wrong but I wasn't sure what until I loaded into a map.

Whenever I try to spawn in the ragdoll for this model it isn't actually a ragdoll, but instead is stuck in a A-pose like position. I can still move it around, but I can't properly pose or otherwise interact with it. I didn't understand why it did this since on my old laptop (which I used to use a few months ago) the addon/ragdoll worked just fine.

I did some snooping around my files and discovered none of the addons are actually installed in my addon folder. No matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall Gmod, verify the files, or unsub and resub to the addon, they don't appear in the addon folder and the error continues to appear on the main menu. I even tried to just install the files of the addon manually but every time I do so I just get this GMA file called "2629972464_via_crowbar" and that doesn't seem to do any good when I add it to the addon folder.

Strangely enough, despite the addon not being present in my addons folder, it still appears in game in both the addon list and the spawnmenu. Also, the ragdolls are apparently the only issue, the player models work just fine. I'm not sure if I'm stupid, if I'm missing something, or if there's something genuinely wrong with this addon. If I can get some assistance on this matter, that'd be greatly appreciated.

P.S: I should also probably mention that this A-pose ragdoll model is a consistent thing amongst all other ragdolls made by the same author as this Revenant one. And it's only the ragdolls, the player models like this one work just fine, but they are also not present in the addons folder.
