I keep crashing for a lua panic. Running out of memory.

[Jenkins]

This has never happened to me before and it's kinda annoying, I've changed how much ram gmod can use but its still crashing

 

[Dayzcool]

Yea I have that same issue with Halo RP I think it might have something to do with the Graphic Card Driver?

 

[Jai]

I'm not actually sure about that one, I'd probably do some digging on the web and see if there are any suggestions that you could try out.

 

[Jenkins]

I've found out what it was! Or I think I have! I believe it was because I had my computer in power saver.

 

[Jenkins]

NEVER MIND

 

[Jai]

That could be it, I always have mine in the performance setting but I don't know.

oh RIP.

 

[Jai]

Maybe try this? I'm not entirely sure to be honest.

 

[Jenkins]

Iv found something, Once gmod hits three gigs of ram and then it crashes

 

[Jenkins]

I think that Gmod can only use so much ram, four to be exact

 

[Jai]

My GMod will slowly eat up all my RAM the more I play it so I'm not sure, but that might be because I have a memory leak.

 

[Jenkins]

I FIXED IT

 

[Jenkins]

What I did was I was turned down my settings and put
-heapsize 16777216

In launch options

 

[Jai]

Nicely done.

 

[IceBadger]

Here is also some stuff that might help, add the following to your \steamapps\common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\cfg\autoexec.cfg file

gmod_mcore_test 1
mat_queue_mode -1
cl_threaded_bone_setup 1
cl_cmdrate 0

This should help a lot with FPS, it might also not help at all or make things worse, if it does, remove these lines again.
The first 3 lines will make the multi-core support work, the tick-box in game does nothing.
The last line may or may not help with ping, if it makes things worse remove it.

 

[Vhetra]

@IceBadger Gonna try this and see if it helps with the FPS. Will report back. I had a creeping suspicion the tickbox did nothing.

 

[Vhetra]

Adding this changed nothing. No better, no worse. There's also the server FPS to consider. Arma suffers from this issue a lot, where no matter your own PC's capabilities, the server itself will bottleneck client performance.

 

[Jenkins]

I resolved This issue.

 

[Vhetra]

I was referring to IceBadger's suggestion about adding those lines of code to the autoexec file
