My game keeps stuttering / freezing.

[Squizid]

Hello,

As the title states, I have lately been having an issue where my game randomly freezes for 1-2 seconds and then continues on.
I do not know how to fix this, I have completely unsubscribed from all my items in the workshop, reinstalled the game, removed the bata etc,

Does someone know how to fix this? thanks in advance!

Move your gmod installation onto a SSD seems to be a common solution

It is already onto an SSD as it is my only drive.

Wifi can sometimes be the issue so maybe if youve recently switched providers that could be the reason

I don't think he's referring to a network issue unless I'm wrong

Fair. PERP can be fairly demanding on the CPU so have you tried closing out of background processes? Reinstalling Windows can help, believe it or not, though I know this isn't the most convenient of solutions especially if it persists after a reinstall but it has helped me in the past when I used to suffer from really bad stutters before the optimization updates a couple years back

True I will do this if it continues. I currently have a ryzen 5 7600x and and a radeon 7800xt with a 2tb m.2 ssd drive so I believe its not the specs but windows that is fucking shit

Yeah realistically you shouldn't have issues and I'm assuming the stutters look something like this which had me reinstalling Windows and it fixed my issue

I just can't think of any other solution than reinstalling the OS because you seem to have done really as much as you really can to narrow down an issue that is hard to find the culprit. Just remember to move any important data, games, save data and what not to a different drive or create a new partition (I'd recommend using a different drive more) as you mentioned you only have an M.2, it's a bitch but in the long run it may just fix your problems and see better performance generally speaking. And don't forget to debloat Windows 11 of things you simply don't need, first result on Google links to this github page: https://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat
