Step 6: Connect to a server / Singleplayer

    • Attempt to connect to any Star Wars RP server APART FROM Imperial Gaming.
    • If that does not work - try starting up a singleplayer server on either gm_flatgrass or rp_stardestroyer_v2_4_inf

    • Once you connect, don't move for 5 minutes and just wait in spawn

 

Step 7: Connect to Imperial Gaming
    • If all went well and no errors arose, you should now be able to connect to Imperial Gaming.

    • For your first connection to IG, do NOT use 'Download all custom files from server'.

    • Once you successfully connect to Imperial Gaming, you may re-subscribe to the content pack and enable 'Download all custom files from server'.

This is really good, some other options for people who have lower end PC's, because joining IG is very intensive on your PC are lowering your graphics and then giving GMod more priority to deal with stuff. But if you're having LUA Memory Error's, this is the perfect guide.

Thanks heaps Brass.
