The default tickrate is 66 so that's the math I'm going by.Īlso, you don't need the cl_cmdrate/cl_updaterate optimizations I posted originally, unless host_limitlocal is set to 1, which it shouldn't be.ĥ. Like monitor frequency + 1/10th of monitor frequency (rounded up).

Note: You probably want to set it slightly above your monitor's refresh rate. As well, Garry's Mod is not the best at detecting refresh rate, so put '-freq 78' in there as well. Go into your launch options, and put '-tickrate 78' in there. My monitor's refresh rate is 78Hz (overclocked), so replace 78 with whatever your monitor's refresh rate is. So, it makes sense to set it to your monitor's refresh rate. The -tickrate launch option tells Garry's Mod how many times to update per second. However, this is a singleplayer only optimization (unless you're hosting the server yourself), and I'm fairly sure this is only for monitors with refresh rates higher than 60Hz. And finally, put this convar in your autoexec: filesystem_max_stdio_read 128000Ĭhange 128000 according to the number you were given previously. Scroll down to 'nofile', I have both set to 128000. You can also increase the max number of open files in your /etc/security/limits.d folder if you haven't already, I have mine set to 128000. Replace 2048 with the number given by ulimit -Hn. Go into your Garry's Mod folder and find hl2.sh, open it, and find the line that says 'ulimit -n 2048'. The number you are given is the max number of open files. This one could get you banned online since you're editing the script that starts GMod, but I doubt it. With kernel 6.0.0-rc5 with MGLRU, uksmd, and earlyoom (just in case), I can set it to 16GB (which is how much RAM I have) without issue.

This is VERY important, as it tells the game how much memory it can use (in megabytes). Also the game is broken without GModCEFCodecFix so do that as well.

Use the 64 bit version, obviously yada yada yada. I'm not going to give you a billion cvars that may or may not do anything, I'm just going to give you the most important ones. Through countless hours of arcane magic and goat sacrifice, I have finally bent the Source engine to my will.
