Title: help with lag please :(
Post by: devvybabe ♥ on April 29, 2010, 05:14:56 PM
I have low ping all the time, around 40 - 90.
But, I find myself lagging really bad. I thought it was the server but smasters confirmed he wasnt lagging and everyone said they werent either.
Well, before this started happening, proudly told me to put in this code "-high" in the games library>right click garrymod>properties>set launch options..
Since then garrysmod has been lagging with my low ping..
How do I fix this :(

PLEASE HELP

Check to see if you are not downloading anything, or running virus scan, or any shit like that.

Yeah I checked everything. I have good connection too, I even deleted the thing proudly told me to copy and paste into set launch options.
doesnt work.
somethings wrong with my gmod.
It's just gmod that lags. not css or zombie panic source.
Just gmod :/

Is it lag or FPS loss?

Well I have 30 - 40 fps while I'm playing.
I dunno what really the average good fps is.

But the gmod update didn't do crap to it.
I'm still lagging.

I also deleted the -high I put in set launch options.
I figured just deleting it would be fine.

Should I just delete my gmod folder?
I'm reluctant in doing so.

I'll resort to that when all else fails.

Proudly said it was supposed to make my gmod run faster....

Delete everything but maps, gamemodes, and addons.

-high Makes the hl2.exe process on a higher priority.

This can be unsafe because your GPU needs some CPU as well. But when it is set to a higher priority it can use most of your CPU just to compute physics objects, which will take alot of CPU being that Garry's Mod is a CPU hog. All in all dropping the amount of CPU available to your GPU and other things.

Garry Newman has backtracked to the update before the release. Because of its huge failure.

I'm going to delete my gmod folder but I dont want all my crap to be deleted such as maps and addons and stuff.

Can someone help me with the exact step by step tutorial on how to do it?
I'm still experiencing lag with 24 fps I dunno if that's good or not :/

You could delete all the folders. Exept the one you need. ex Addons and maps. Steam will take care of the rest for you.

Name your garrysmod/garrysmod (the garrysmod folder where maps, materials, addons etc are in) folder something like Garrysmod OLD.
Start Gmod, it should create a new garrysmod folder.

.... The lag is still there.
There was 20 people in the server.
And I was lagging bad..

I need further assistance.
Should I just delete gmod completely and reinstall backing up my maps?

Have you tried setting the priority to normal/anything else again via the Task Manager? And checked the launch options of GMod?
If you did, I guess a reinstall is the only thing you can do.

set steam to core 1


steam has a tendency to have huge lag spikes of up to 300,000k memory which basicly kills hl2.exe


so ya


WIN XP -> ctrl alt del -> processes -> steam.exe -> set affinity -> core 1

WIN VISTA/7 -> Right click on taskbar -> task manager | ctrl alt del -> task manager -> processes -> steam.exe -> set affinity -> core 1
