Whats a good way for locating performance-sucking addons?
8 replies, posted
I am running a server, but its a problem regardless if I use these addons in sp or mp.
After playing for a while, my fps start dropping and if I am running my server, the ping starts going up to unacceptable levels (and leading to a crash eventually).
I am looking for a good way to:
A. Prevent crashes like that
B. Find the addons that produce the most lag and suck the most performance.
I have looked online for some measuring tools for gmod, however most of them seem old or say that they might lead to vac bans.
What is the best way of finding these problematic addons?
manually test each and every addon one by one (excluding obvious tiny ones)
Gmod has a tool that shows which part of gmod sucks the most performance, but it shows itnin generell, like every task. Thats not what you need. a tool that shows you the performance demand of every single addon doesnt exist
Can you atleast tell me how to use the general one? I might be able to exclude more addons from testing then
i dont remember the command anymore, but i let you know when im on pc later and found it
Understandable.
Well problem is I have around 100 addons. The problems only arise after prolonged playtime so testing them one by one will take a looooong while
yea well thats what a server owner has to do then..
but it makes sense. not every addon gets fully loaded on boot. that would take AGES. Instead stuff like entities etc, gets loaded when you spawn it the first time (which is why gmod canfreeze forna moment when spawning big the first time) but tha better than waiting for hoies to get everything loaded up from startup. gmod would instacrash also..so
Well yeah. Only other problem is that the major slowdowns only happen on MP which would mean I would have to take my server off the net for the entire time it takes me to find the addons. But ill figure it out. Thanks for your help
