• Garry's Mod 13 Lags for people with Netbooks now, someone tell me why?
    4 replies, posted
Hi, I'm new to the forums and i want to know why the update made my gmod lag like hell. My Gmod now lags because of the Gmod 13 update, i have a Acer Aspire Timeline X Netbook that used to play gmod perfectly until the gmod 13 update. its now started lagging and crashes and freezes most of the time in singleplayer. it used to work perfectly for me with the graphics up high and now..... Can someone tell me if its something to do with the new update or the source engine? because every other source engine game works perfectly. When i play online it works perfectly and when it was gmod 12, it had no lag on servers and singleplayer worked perfectly without lag. Can some one please tell me why its lagging? ( don't say that it's my Netbook because i don't like people saying that because it worked perfectly before in the gmod 12 update ) Matthausize
I was going to comment on how you should get a new pc, but after I searched your specs, it's actually better than my own laptop. I use it sometimes when I can't use my desktop, and it's bad, but atleast it works. Lenovo G565, it's good for browsing and stuff, not really for gaming. Even though it runs Gmod at about 50 fps, 1366x768 with lowest settings, an fps config and DirectX 8.1, it never crashes. You said it only happens in singleplayer. Did you try different gamemodes, or multiplayer? It could be worth a try. I've had sometimes that it only crashes for me in TTT.
It could be the change in game, there was lots of updates and upgrades that might have either broke something internally, or just requires a higher pc now.
Then run on medium settings? Probably due to updates in the source engine.
They made a couple of graphics changes in 13 (most noticeably the lighting with lamps), so now it runs like shit on some older computers. Let's hope that there are some more optimizations soon
