I honestly hate for it to have to come to the point of me asking around to fix this problem, but its become too unbearable to be able to enjoy the game any more at this point.
I've done extensive research to discover that others (though it be very few others) have had the exact same issue that seems to be occurring for me.
I've also done extensive debugging (to the extent i could) to try to pinpoint the issue, but what's strange is I see absolutely no change in garrysmod's resources. I even tried playing tons of sounds that didn't exist whilst watching a resource monitoring program, there was no increase in its I/O requests, but showed a 2% increase on the processor, but I assume that's because its trying to catch up from freezing so much.
I've checked as many help resources as possible for example github, finding this ( [URL="https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/305"]https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues/issues/305[/URL] ).
Though nobody seems to have a definite ANSWER to what is going on here.
In fact, on the initial steampipe release for garrysmod, I had reported this issue and have yet to find something of which EXPLAINS or even RELATES to this error. Due to the fact of which it was disreguarded and not assigned,[U][B] I assumed it was not going to be fixed.[/B][/U]
If you were to look at the github link pasted above, you'll see that "MattJeanes" is having issues with framerate when failing to load a sound, I am having an identical issue.
This makes it almost impossible to go onto a different server and actually attempt to play with lack of a simple addon,that is without going out of your way to aquire said addon or specific sound, weather it be a popularly used or known weapon, or even worse, vehicles that change pitch of a specified sound.
I run garrysmod off of a STEAM DEDICATED 400gb harddrive, so there should be nothing wrong with my drive speed, for its quite a fast drive by itself.
For those who may be concerned, or if this can help you point out my issue, here are the specifications of my system.
CPU: AMD FX-6350 Vishera 3.9GHz (Hexacore)
Graphics device: NVIDIA 660 Superclocked
Primary drive: 1.5TB, SATA
Secondary drive: 0.5TB, Steam dedicated (The one garrysmod runs off of)
RAM: 8.0GB DDR3
Operating System: Windows 7 64 bit home premium
That's all that should play in effect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The worst part about this is that anyone can take any sound file, then go to any random server and start playing it and lag everyone out because they don't have it.
