[goobied_goober]

[xdCtrl]

man these are some good tips, now if only we can get ping better than 150 in atomic networks

[Omnitrx]

not gonna lie this was one of the best and non confusing tutorial ive ever seen and my ears were blessed with this mans voice

[Klortian]

I'm getting Gmod tomorrow and there's a big chance I'll be using this information. I'm sure this'll help out a ton

For the autoexec do you need to put in the exact refresh rate because In my setting it says my monitor is 59.978 Hz, so do I put that in or would I just put 60 or even just 59??

i have a question, my laptop has 2 gfx cards, i think gmod is running with the integrated card by default, how do i set gmod to use always the other graphic card? i tried to do it in the control panel but it doesn't work..

[blobthecloud]

thanks a whole lot! this worked out greatly! :)

[kuroshukun]

it doesnt even let me put all those commands in, and go back to check, and the last of the commands is ho without the full host_writeconfig So, i just removed the gmod_mcore_test 1 since you can just enable multi-core rendering in the options anyways.

[xdCtrl]

can we get some more Coleski123 content, I enjoy his voice.

[Silas_The_Silly]

This worked really well! Though my crosshair changed to a small white dot is there any way to change it back without reversing the changes/ modding?

[spooky]

enable multicore in settings you need to do this everytime gmod restart or use a command

[Awakzn]

hey can you explain "Having issues with lag in GMod? Paste these commands into your autoexec.cfg file. Change the --- next to "fps_max" to the refresh rate on your monitor. " becuase im confused for that part in description id love to see a video if possible

[caidenmerritt]

Chromium doesnt destroy all of your mods anymore? also does editing the autoexec not just cap your fps to your refresh rate?

[heyitsmegoku]

my computer does not show the "open wiith" option at all

[prodbypxrfvct_]

What’s that command that removes the background of the map

[rehaaan]

Im just stuck on lua started atfer going up on x86-64 brooo helppp

[insertnamehere]

Good stuff but now I have the issue of when I tab out and return to the game it won't display the game. Audio still comes through.

[gameboy_]

For someone reason my chromuim for gmod isn't working it keeps saying disc write error and will never download

[ScrumPMC]
