How to clean your Lua folder and keep yourself from getting banned.

[TheyCallMeDaz]

Alright, so we've all heard about Garry's shit game getting a new anti-cheat and all, you're probably wondering "Well, how do I stay safe?!" It's not that hard, actually.

Step 1. Move any and all modules / your Lua folder to your desktop, remove every cheat you have, and don't bother to inject ANY bypass at this point in time.

Step 2. Open the Library on Steam

Step 3. Find Garry's Mod

Step 4. Right click -> properties -> Local Files -> Verify integrity of game cache

Step 5. Let it recover every file it needs (this will create a new Lua folder.)

Step 6. Don't add ANYTHING to your Lua folder.

Step 7. As a precaution, clear out your entire data folder (whether it be deleting it or moving it.)

Step 8. Verify again, let it regrab all the files it requires.

Step 9. Open Garry's Mod

Step 10. Try to start a singleplayer server, are you banned?

Step 11. If the answer is No, you're not banned.

Step 12. If the answer is Yes, R.I.P. I hope you have alt accounts.

These bans have been collected for a great amount of time. This is just preventional I guess.

Check out my thread around the new ban system, it has some of the info I've collected just by looking at screenshots and testing myself.

So yeah as you said, it's not an active ban system. He's just collecting stuff and then apply the bans in an update. So this is still a good prevention method.
