I Need help with optimising fps for my players on my server

[PoseidonRias]

My players have been getting major lag issues on my server, I need some asap help on increasing fps

Hire someone to optimize your addons. No one here will be able to solve all your problems instantly with the random amount of random addons your server has. It also has to do with the map you are running.

ok that's fine and all, but is there any gmod wiki glua commands I can do to render stuff on client side because maybe that can fix fps lag

[c👌de_g🎷]

Render what? You can try:
studio_queue_mode 1

gmod_mcore_test 1
but they are in development.

[PoseidonRias]

what exactly do those commands do and I assume they are Server commands not glua?

[Nookyava]

There are no "magical" commands you can enter to try and lower lag. You should instead focus on the countless addons you most likely have installed and figure out which of them may be causing the lag.

One thing I've learned from experience is check if you have a large add-on that uses a Think hook. One of the add-ons I wrote one time uses one of these hooks to iterate through every single player and check for a value inside a database I had... extremely inefficient.

To expand on what Nookyava was saying, the easiest way to see if an add-on is causing lag, first determine what exactly it is trying to do. Add-ons that edit materials, access databases (local or not), add models and/or accessories (like Pointshop) can lead to performance issues if they are created sloppily.

If you have PreDrawHalos, remove it. Function is not optimized. I removed it and everyone had 30+ FPS
