How to launch Wraith for Garry's Mod - Guide
Here's how to get Wraith running on Garry's Mod — switching the game to its 64-bit beta, preparing your PC, injecting the loader, and finding where your configs and Lua scripts live. The whole thing takes a few minutes once your system is ready.
Before you inject: prepare your PC
- Genuine, unmodified Windows — the latest updates (including 24H2) are fully supported.
- Enable the 64-bit beta. In Steam, open Garry's Mod → Properties → Betas and select x86-64 — chromium + 64-bit binaries. Wraith runs against the 64-bit build.
- Runtime libraries: Visual C++ 2005–2019 redistributables, DirectX 12, and .NET Framework 4.7.1.
- Latest GPU drivers from NVIDIA or AMD.
- Remove conflicting anti-cheats — FaceIt and ESEA — and uninstall Riot Vanguard if Valorant is installed.
- Antivirus: add an exclusion for the loader, or disable real-time protection during launch.
Step-by-step: running Wraith on Garry's Mod
- 1. Final checks. Antivirus off (or excluded), the game set to 64-bit mode, and no third-party programs that could interfere with the loader.
- 2. Launch Garry's Mod.
- 3. Run the loader as administrator. If two error windows appear, click OK — they're only needed on custom Windows that lack some components.
- 4. Select Garry's Mod in the loader.
- 5. Click Load. If you have Alpha access, you can pick your preferred build first.
- 6. Open the game and press
Insertto bring up the menu. - 7. Connect to a server and enjoy.
Where your configs and Lua scripts live
Everything you set up is saved locally so it survives restarts:
- Configs:
C:\Wraith\gmod\cfgs - Lua scripts:
C:\Wraith\gmod\luas
Troubleshooting
- Two error windows. Expected on custom Windows — click OK.
- Loader won't inject. Confirm the game is on the x86-64 beta, antivirus is excluded, and Riot Vanguard / FaceIt / ESEA are removed.
- Something else broke. Open a ticket in our Discord and the team will sort it out.
