[NEW] GMOD13 best lag performance tweak/fix - AWESOMEIUMPROCESS.EXE etc!

[energetic]

Today, I have chosen to release one of the best GMOD FPS configs on the internet. It basically is A VERY detailed and explained config. Configs usually contain commands that help increase FPS of your game, since the GMOD13 update, its a hell of a laggy game for all of us with low-end PC's. Put this in your (IMPORTANT) Steam->Steamapps->Common->Garrysmod->Garrysmod->cfg->Put it as filename "autoexec.cfg".

As for AWESOMIUMPROCESS.EXE, I am looking how to permantently remove/close it from GMOD!!! Its taking half of my RAM/CPU resources.

Aswell, how to stop background images of GMOD menu moving?... that lags it aswell, thanks...
any other tweaks welcome, pls help, i helped you!

Here it is:

// Launch options:
// IMPORTANT: Remove -dxlevel 81 from the launch options after the first launch!
//
// Fullscreen: -dxlevel 81 -full -w WIDTH -h HEIGHT -console -novid -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd
// Windowed:   -dxlevel 81 -sw -w WIDTH -h HEIGHT -console -noborder -novid -useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// FPS cap
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The primary benefit of an FPS cap is to make the FPS more stable, other than
// that, it doesn't do a lot. A moderate, consistent framerate is much more
// desirable than a variable but sometimes high framerate. A common
// misconception is that if any more frames are generated than your monitor can
// display, they are useless. This is wrong -- frames are used for much more
// than mere display, and affect the way the game feels well past your
// refresh rate.
//
// This FPS cap should *always* be set to a value higher than `cl_cmdrate' in
// any case, or the discrepancy between clientside frame generation and frames
// to be sent to the server will no doubt cause you many a headache, especially
// when it comes down to hit registration. Other than that, I recommend
// for everyone to use the value `132' (2*66), as long as you can generally
// keep that value stable without regular drops.

// A common question I am asked -- what defines whether a good connection is
// good or bad? Mostly personal preference. If you're not willing to make the
// choice, try both and see which is better for you.
//
// Generally, meeting both of the following conditions would classify it as a
// good connection:
//
// - Ping of <80 to the average server you join
// - Generally no/negligible choke/loss (can be checked with `net_graph')

If you want to stop the backgrounds from moving, do it Australian style, delete them ._.

EDIT: Thanks man, before I had 30FPS, now I get almost 200FPS!

DOUBLE EDIT: NVM, if you really did just pull a non-patented rubix cube idea, you are bad, them feels are not for you!

Yeah, good luck with that. GMod uses Awesomium to display loading screens and the main menu.

[bliptec]

What kind of frame rate do you get in game if a moving picture causes lag?

[QUOTE=bliptec;43134180]What kind of frame rate do you get in game if a moving picture causes lag?[/QUOTE]

Well you know, frame rate drops when things move, so if we disable movement and animations we should be able to increase frames by at least 50%

I never called it mine tho, I got it off the internet and edited some values

as for awesomiumprocess, I did more investigating and nothing can really be done about it.. as for backgrounds, I tried deleting them it worked :p

I think the above people don't appreciate your help because of it lacking documentation and / or being correct. Closing down Awesomium won't work, GMod's interaface sort of uses that (but you seem to have figured out already). Removing the backgrounds will not give you a 50% framerate increase - I just tried and I didn't even get a noticeable FPS increase.

You just need to work more on your documentation, really. Tell why you think that removing / modifying some processes can lessen FPS stutter. And if you 'borrow' some code from others, give them credit instead of shamefully taking it from a website and posting it here without crediting anyone.
