Steam/steamapps/common/GarrysMod/garrysmod/cfg This will automatically execute all these commands as soon as you run the game. Instead of executing each command individually in the game console, you can also set these in the game’s autoexec file.

threadpool_affinity “4” //8 for octa-core, 6 for hexa-core, 4 for quad-core, 2 for double-core.

host_thread_mode “4” //8 for octa-core, 6 for hexa-core, 4 for quad-core, 2 for double-core.

Furthermore, in cases of low RAM, these commands will help in allocating more RAM to the game as well. These commands will further prioritize the game as it will allot all the cores of your computer for the game. Hopefully, you are going to experience a reduction in your Garry’s Mod lag.Īpart from the in-game settings, there are also some console commands to help you fix the trouble. Try lowering your graphics settings to what has been shown below. SO why not turn down some of the settings and make it a smoother experience than before? The game is good because of the million things that we can do so graphic settings are the least of the concern. Let’s face it we don’t play the game because it has such beautiful graphics. There are many in-game settings that you might wanna tweak to fix your lag in Garry’s Mod. DON’T select Real Time as it may lead to PC crashes while playing. Its pretty easy and all you gotta do is press CTRL+ALT+DEL at the same time to open up the Task Manager option, just locate the launcher and set its priority to high. Just open up your task manager and set the game to high priority. If there are several things running in the background, then there is little memory left for a game to be run effectively and in turn, can lead to lag. Usually, computer cores divide the tasks among them.

The quick workaround to this is by setting the game/ launcher to the high priority so that your computer knows that this game is the only thing to be focused right now. However, if you know there are several things running in your background, then most likely your Garry’s Mod lag can be due to the issue mentioned. If playing the game is the only thing you do on your computer then this part is not for you. Garry’s Mod lag in many cases can be due to your computer not giving the game the priority it needs to run the game.

Now that this is off your head let’s take a look at some of the other things that can help you in reducing Garry’s mod lag.
