Have you anything OC'ed? If so take it off and run again. That includes both CPU/GPU. Mods sometimes aren't stable. Although I shouldn't think your system would have any issue with gmod. But some games just do't respond well to OC's.

Thanks for the answer, and no i havent overclocked all the other people on that server dont seem to have a problem with fps. I'am having this problem on multiple servers. Single player fps is fine

Are you connected wirelessly to your network or by cable?

 

[MousTea]

I'am connected by cable 190 Mbps download 19 Mbps upload
Maybe my cpu cant handle it because that game doesnt work much with gpu i think, it's an old game

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

Well, it's not your connection anyway

I guess its down to the mod itself. Sometimes they don't work as they should. Your CPU/system is fine. It's not that your hardware can't handle it. It can for sure. Just mods sometimes don't work on all systems. It's not as if they are tested with systems to ensure compatibility.

Try a fresh install of the stock game and mod. See if that helps.

I tried a fresh install and unsubscribed all my workshop items on steam, but i still get low fps and stutters. Can the stutters be caused by my hdd i'm running the game on my hdd.

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

Yes, for sure. If your HDD is at 100% usage, this is similar to what would happen. Easiest way to monitor that is with task manager.. Run a game, alt tab and view the disk usage.

 

[MousTea]

I just tried and no, its not on 100 procent usage but i saw that it is using 40 procent of my ram. I'm now trying the game on my ssd.

EDIT: I just tried on my ssd but i still have 30 fps and stutters

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

Did you edit any files? Like .ini setup/config files for the mod?

 

[MousTea]

No, i didn't edit any files
Should i try unparking my cpu cores?

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

No, i didn't edit any files
Should i try unparking my cpu cores?

Yes. Give it a try. What OS are you running?

 

[MousTea]

I'm running windows 10 64 bit also sorry for the late response, can unparking cores do anything bad to my cpu?

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

No it can't, but if you find things 'feel' different or not as expected remember to return the setting to auto, or whatever is default.
