Do NOT try and replace the default gameinfo.txt file found in the garrysmod root folder with the code found here as the game will still not work, the buttons in the game's main menu will be broken. Be patient and wait it out for Valve & Garry to roll out a proper fix.

The invalid code:

"GameInfo"
{
	game	"Garry's Mod"
	title	""
	title2	""
	type 	multiplayer_only

	"developer" 		"TEAM GARRY"
	"developer_url" 	"http://www.garrysmod.com/"
	"manual"           	"http://www.garrysmod.com/wiki/"

	FileSystem
	{
		SteamAppId				218
		ToolsAppId				211
		
		SearchPaths
		{
			Game				|gameinfo_path|.
			Game				hl2
			Game                            |all_source_engine_paths|hl2
		}
	}
}

Problem to do with file permissions when Garry was submitting the update to Valve.

Patch on the way.

Jesus he couldnt orchestrate a piss-up in a brewery. Why don't Team Garry just throw in the towel and just let Valve develop the mod instead.

Hotfix:

"GameInfo"
{
	game	"Garry's Mod Beta"
	title	""
	title2	""
	type 	multiplayer_only

	"developer" 		"TEAM GARRY"
	"developer_url" 	"http://www.garrysmod.com/"
	"manual"           	"http://www.garrysmod.com/wiki/"

	FileSystem
	{
		SteamAppId				440 // 218
		ToolsAppId				211
		
		SearchPaths
		{
			Game				|gameinfo_path|.
			Game				hl2
			Game                            |all_source_engine_paths|hl2
		}
	}
}

Pulled from garrysmod gcf file

EDIT: It IS possible to still open map files in the game console
EDIT EDIT: However there will be a lot of errors and spawnmenu is borked
