STUTTERING LAG

[Sir Zac]

Hey there,

Ever since I decided to return, I've faced an annoying, persistent issue which is... that ever two seconds my game freezes and then unfreeze. Commonly by the time of unfreezing I have killed someone by driving them over... apparent. Here's a video:

these are only little spikes whereas commonly it just freezes. Anyone got any suggestions. This never used to happen to the extent of what it does now. Basically, perp is now unplayable for me.

Got bugs?

If you really love all the Addons you've installed on your Gmod, don't follow this guide! First make sure you have these first: Half Life 2 installed (Not necessarily required) CS:S installed (Cracked versions aren't guaranteed to work) Both games are activated in-game. (Controller button...

Applies for freezing as well, it should help clean your Gmod.

This has been happening to me too ever since the tfu & lights update.
Before that update I've never had that issue

(That update was when it shifted from v3 to v4)

 

[Itzryzo]

i have this issue too but i just use it as an excuse to run people over

 

[Zayne]

What are you using for storage? A hard disk drive, solid state drive or both?

 

[Zayne]

If you don't have an SSD, check task manager>performance.
If you are running Garry's Mod at 100% disk usage on a HDD, you might want to consider upgrading to a SDD, or pairing the two together, installing Windows + Steam + Garry's Mod on the SSD and everything else on the HDD.

 

[Sir Zac]

Na, just HDD

I have the same issue. It's really annoying. My cpu usage is around 70% and my memory usage is fine. I'm gonna overclock my CPU in a while and see if that's the issue.

 

[Smeris]

i had the same issue. either been getting it since a PH update or garry's mod update but it appeared out of nowhere. XQ recommended i move garry'smod to my SSD and i have had no issues since. i think it's your only option

 

[Sir Zac]

But wouldn't that mean that I would need to move steam and all my steam games to the SSD?

 

[Clarky]

Nope, you can have games on a HDD whilst having Steam on a SSD for example.

 

[Sir Zac]

@Clarky didn't know that. Right. Cheers

 

[Smeris]

don't even have to move steam to your ssd per se, just go to steam>settings>downloads>libary folders and add one on your ssd and then when you install a game you can select the directory
