#Freezing problem with GMod, (Solved)
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Running out of GPU memory
i can play perfectly fine without addons but once i join roleplay servers and then i download their content the game starts to do this
this also happens when i play maps from workshop
thats happening to me to whenever i play mallparking map
Reduce texture quality to the lowest setting, reduce resolution, and consider upgrading your hardware if possible
But it's ultimately up to the servers you join to optimize their content, which in this case they are not
no but i never had this problem before
i used to play with high settings too
rubat said that this has to do with GPU memory so i'm waiting for him to tell me a solution.. @pearl cipher
dude i'm having the same problemm toooo i just want a soulution 😦
@pearl cipher how do i fix this?
it's not rocket science, if you are using too much memory, use less memory. Less addons, less graphics, etc.
but i don't really get it why this is happening now, because i used to play perfectly fine back then with addons and graphics set to high
and no it doesn't fix it if i play with low settings because i already tried that
no
edit: i deleted the message that was after this one
Do NOT mess with services unless you know what you're doing
The issue isn't you missing something, rubat already explained that you're running out of GPU memory - lower graphics settings
But I tried playing with lower graphics and without addons, and it doesn't fix it
like i said previously, i don't understand how the GPU is the problem here because i used to play Garry's mod perfectly fine
why the GPU decided to suddenly run out of memory i don't really get it tbh
Doesn't really happen to me
But everytime when I noclip through the map
It's super laggy
hello?
It's been weeks that i am dealing with this shit and its very draining
do you have garrys mod installed on a ssd or hard drive?
SSD as far as i am aware
what graphics card do you have? and how much memory?
Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1355U 1.70 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable)
graphics card tho
intel iris xe
maybe try playing gmod on the x86 x64 beta
i already tried that
it's a laptop so i can't replace parts
or am i wrong?
lol
I don't understand that much in laptops but i've been told that some parts of a laptop, like the RAM or storage, are soldered directly onto the motherboard, so they can't be easily replaced or upgraded. Unlike desktops.
@thick hawk
It really depends on what laptop it is
Acer
are you sure it will fix it because hoenstly i don't want to install something that won't do anything
@thick hawk ?
but if the problem is with GPU then how will Linux fix it by just being lighter and giving me more fps?
it could be that since i had to download windows all over again
Update your windows
Okay
What is your gpu
Again
Oo
That's very outdated
Okay
Here
This download installs Intel® Graphics Driver 32.0.101.6297 for Intel® Arc™ A-Series Graphics, Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics, and Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors with Intel® Arc™ Graphics.
Download
This
And run it
It will install latest drivers
For your gpu
should i first delete this one and then download the 'right' one that you sent me?
alright
13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1355U 1.70 GHz
ok
i downloaded the app and it says "Installing new graphics driver.."
and restarted
@thick hawk
Your cooked
i really don't want to download linux, i think there are other ways to fix this because i used to be able to play gmod perfectly fine back then
i don't know why this is suddenly happening
ahh
the game is still freezing..
i put these two commands and i was also playing in low settings
@thick hawk
its okay, at least you tried
Yep
do you know where I could get help with this? @thick hawk
your cunputer is cooked
its your hardware
you prob have a vram leak
which reqs a new gpu
to fix
what? whats's a vram leak and how do they happen?
Over time
just get a new pc brah
Fr
im sorry thats how it has to be
but like
theres probably some
heavily convoluted fix
but like i just dont see it being worth it
fuuuck
but i just bought this laptop a year ago and i don't have money to buy a new pc
fuck uh
when using gmod or just normally?
Using gmod
okay
Ram is not
but try running
have you tried running on the x86-64 bit branch?
He already did
hm
Okay
Right click it
And set the priority to lowest
It decrease fps but let's see if it crash
how do i change priority, i forgot.
have you tried COMPLETELY factory resetting gmod?
Then send screenshot
He factory reset his entire system
it shows the same things?
Dang
Uh
Hmm
I'm telling you to
Install linux
On your system
But you don't have the stuff
even if i had the usb i don't want to go with linux because it is not that easy to install it as it takes time and you have to install it properly or it will mess your pc
theyve said gmod works completely fine until they install addons
Okay
and, its also a whole different operative system
i was wrong about that. I thought that it was working without addons but i was wrong
Okay
okay umm
do you have any other source games?
for example, half-life 2?
if so, try booting it up and seeing if its fine
what?? ðŸ˜
i dont think this is a game mounting issue either
i got hl2 and css from a google page
Like rn
but like
That might mess it up
remove css and hl2?
Yes
yes, try doing that
i deleted both
also, if you want hl2, and cs:s legit, id be happy to gift it to you this upcoming christmas!
lets see if it does it now
yeah
im in the game and i will play for some minutes to see if it freezes
no
i am still in the game and so far it is not happening
but
it could freeze after some more minutes
so i have to play longer to see that
no lol
Oh
lol i have hl2 and css
i know its weird
the reason i did not mount them in gmod is because i hate that you also get the maps
whys that?
also, has your gmod worked fine?
yes it used to work fine
btw i am still playing
its not freezing
at least not right now
alrigt
now i am going to try to play with high settings and with addons
i guess i spoke too soon @thick hawk @north crater
the game is still freezing
huh
try just lowering your settings
around to medium
this might be a dumb request
like most of mine..
but could you show your options
and advanced
sure
advanced settings were all set to low but after i rejoined they were at high
first, set model and texture to medium and shader detail to low, secondly set water detail to its lowest and color correction off, and lastly try enabling vertical sync
and press apply
i think it does because i am not crashing
when i was playing with all high settings it was freezing
alright
LMAOO
no, its still happening!!
i mean it did not fix it
@north crater @thick hawk
what is weird and i don't understand it is why the fuck this is happening because i used to play this game perfectly fine before
im at a loss
for what you could do
um
clear your cache
best suggestion
i got
how do i do that?
btw i am not the only one with this problem
there is a guy here that is dealing with this same shit
possibly an issue after a recent gmod update?
Probably
i cleared cache and now i am doing another factory reset of gmod
if this shit doesnt work then i am better off deleting this game and just waiting until i see someone that got this problem fixed
good news!
the game is fixed
for real this time
lol
i think clearing the cache fixed it
try clearing your cache because it helped me @past wraith
@thick hawk @north crater
thank you @north crater
sorry for not being able to solve your issue quicker
i kinda just left it unnoticed cause i thought someone else more experienced would fix it before me
glad that its working though!
Freezing problem with GMod, (Solved)
That's it? Just clear your cache? Nothing else? If it works.... Can we be friends if it works 😄 cuz imma cry if it works ðŸ˜
Wait btw how do I even clear my cache
it didnt worked for me...
wait gnomo u mean temp, %temp% those temps or the one z is saying?
@gnomo
hey
z pls help me ur my only hope
i deleted gmods cache folder
now what do i do? itsstill frezing
i deleted gmod cache the garys mod download, the main downloads folder and every cache that ever existed in my gmod
and its still not working : (
sorry i was at school, if you aren’t on the x86-64 bit branch, switch over now and (backup before) unsubscribe to all your addons and see if issues still persist
also, here’s the guide in case you didn’t see it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=336428778
Scarily keen on getting them to install linux
