Garry's Mod not installing on steam deck.

[Arduin]

So I just recently got my steam deck and for some reason whenever I go to install it, it downloads some things up until the game takes up about 4 GB then it just endlessly says "Workshop content. Downloading 0%" on the download window. And in the library window it says "Validating. Updating." I've let it run for hours and nothing happens. Any solutions?

Just wondering do you have anything in your workshop for GMod?

Could also try restarting the deck and try launching it while offline. Anytime a game is acting up because of downloads, launching it offline makes it act better for me

Yes I have addons I'm subscribed to. I was able to start the game offline okay but it won't download my workshop content once I reconnect to the internet anyway haha. Not sure why.

Edit: I ended up starting it in offline mode again and then switching to online and letting it run for a bit to see if anything happened and it eventually began downloading addons on last. Just super slowly. But it's finally done now.
