• Gmod cuts off my internet sometimes
    4 replies, posted
Ok i have experiencing some weird and new problems, where when I launch gmod it cuts off the internet on my pc. Especially when alt+tabbing, i cant even go to google.com. Steam friends still seems to work, but steam store etc does not. Also the server browser doesn't seem to work and it changes when I change the game to windowed mode or full screen, but sometimes that also does not work. Has anyone experienced something like this? I multi task alot so for me it's a bit of an issue to not being able to browse the internet while playing gmod. Thanks
For me this happens when I open the server browser, it pretty much disables any new connections, but existing connections stay connected. I'll stay in Discord calls, but suddenly the browser will stop refreshing. Apparently it has something to do with the game sending and receiving way too many pings, but I'm not sure.
That's exactly the case, so if you are getting connection problems, reduce maxpings setting in Steam.
thanks ill try setting the maxping settings in steam server browser never works how it should anyway maybe this is the cause
Going down to 3000 should be enough.
