FPS Drops

[Crimson Nugget]

Hey,

Ever since I've started playing, I've had to deal with FPS drops... specially when I first shoot my gun, which might mean life or death.

Do you know any useful console commands or anything I could do to lower the strength or frequency of these FPS drops?

thank you habibis

Isn't playing without lights kinda aids though? Like to the point of not allowing me to see anything?

Is the performance improved worth sacrificing light?

It will remove shadows, lights, and the r_3dsky disables something like background, but it wont do anything with your view distance

(All commands are entered without quotes)
"r_shadows 0" will disable all shadows, lights and even the flashlight from showing up. Sometimes you'll have your flashlight enabled and won't even know it, you come out of a door slowly to not alert someone of your location, but the flashlight already gives it away, then you die. Which is one of the bad sides of it. Aside from that it increases FPS by 5-10, sometimes even 20.

"r_3dsky 0" will disable the skybox with all the buildings and islands off the coast in the distance. When you stand next to the fire department, and look up at city hall when r_3dsky is set to 1, you'll see the city hall, set to 0 and you won't, this is due to the map being modeled in the skybox, which is disabled when set to 0. You can only render a set distance ahead of you on perp, therefore to avoid creating a dead void in the distance, the map was modeled in the skybox as well.

Perpheads should be enabling this by default, but if it hasn't, type in: "gmod_mcore_test 1" to enable multicore rendering, this will be the command that gives you the most FPS out of them all.

I've been playing without flashlight and car headlights for 3 years, bump up the brightness and you'll do fine.

Forgot to post this but feel free to use my .cfg, remove the alias/voice parts from the botton if you don't want a toggled voice button. If you want a working flashlight do r_flashlightrender 1 and r_shadows 1. This config seems to have helped on Cody, he has a I-7700K and gets around 40 in most areas where I get 50-60 FPS with a Ryzen 5 [email protected] GHz so it's all dependant on your CPU.

How do you apply all those settings so that I don't have to put them in the console EVERY damn time I open gmod?


btw i have a shitty i3 4130
