Gmod doesnt respond when sending client info

[Red Alexmander]

Everytime I've joined a server so far today, right before it gets to 'Sending Client Info' it freezes and says not responding

It is normal, happens to me always too. Just wait untill it responds, as it collects the data and working on getting in the server.

if you have your gmod set to -noboder -sw w/e etc etc then stay alt tabbed until it loads, just hover your mouse over gmod and if it's on a loading screen don't click
it's 100% normal
