There is a known issue between zBlock and GG5 when loading both from autoexec.cfg. I
think Detox will have the same problem. Please see the following link for details on
how to get GG5 started with zBlock.

There is a setting in(I think) gg_default_addons.cfg called gg_dissolver. That needs to be set to 1. You also then want to set the gg_dissolver_effect to something from 1 to 5 depending on the effect you want.

I'm not completely sure if that's the problem as I thought ragdolls would be removed even without those set. Try that until someone who knows a little more chimes in.

0 should be a valid option. It should remove the ragdolls with no dissolver effects.

Maybe you could try one of the other options just to see if there is a problem with option 0.

This is caused by zBlock. You need to load gungame after zBlock is dissabled. You can reload zBlock after you load gungame. Please see my link above on HowTo: Get GG5 working with zBlock.

zBlock is automatically loaded when the server starts. Even if you put "zb_active 0" in your autoexec it takes a few game frames to turn off. If you have es_load gungame in your autoexec, you will get problems where cvars are not created properly as seen in your error above.
