As of February 2010, [url=http://www.garry.tv/?p=1527]mobile graphics cards caused 31% of crashes in GMod[/url]. (so I recommend this gets put somewhere people can see it easily)
I have a solution that works for the Intel crash caused by blood effects (including thruster effects, people getting shot, etc), explosions, and a few other combat-related things. This solved my crashing problem completely, now I get no more crashes than anyone else I know with a desktop.
1. Join singleplayer, or a server with cheats enabled ("sv_cheats 1" in console)
2. Type in the console "r_drawparticles 0" and press enter
That's it.
Seriously.
Unfortunately it only works on servers with cheats enabled, or singleplayer, because "r_drawparticles 0" significantly affects the graphics by...you guessed it...not drawing particles at all. It would be [b][i]really good[/i][/b] for all of us with mobile graphics if Garry could make this work on any server.
I'll be getting a new computer soon, a desktop, so this won't be relevant for me but I'm posting it here so everyone else can benefit.
Cool beans.
