Frosty__ 63 Report post Posted March 19 (edited) Gmod is probably one of the most unstable games I play on and since it runs on such an old engine its very unreliable. Im making this post today to tell you about some commands you can run in console to make your game run smoother. gmod_mcore_test 1 This allows gmod to use multi-core rendering which will increase your fps anywhere from 10-150+ fps (Depends on your CPU). If you dont know what Multi-Core rendering is then ill tell you a bit about it. Multi-Core Rendering enables your processor to utilize more cores on your processor then the standard 1 core that gmod runs off. r_decals 0 This removes all Decals from your game. (de-spawns your blaster shots and blood stains) These are two of the most common ways to get better fps while being on base and during events. If your PC or Laptop really struggles to run Gmod i would recommend running pac_enable 0 as this will not render anyone's pac's and will help increase your FPS I hope this helps with anyone who doesn't run gmod at high fps Thank you for reading Edited March 20 by Frosty__ 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Welly 157 Report post Posted March 19 Suprisingly helpful, would've loved this post when I was on my really awful PC. I feel bad for ISB who had to put up with my really laggy recordings with low frames. Cheers for the tips on behalf of all cabbage laptop people. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shepard 256 Report post Posted March 20 You can also put +gmod_mcore_test 1 into your gmod launch options so it does it on launch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roughly directed to the development team, would probably have to tweak the values to the servers specifics, but clients can do it themselves relative to their PC specs.
