Soul's launch options - SoulRipper - 12-17-2011

I finally managed to make myself proper launch options, I'll explain what my launch options do:

Code:
+r_hunkalloclightmaps 0 -heapsize 3145728 +cl_cmdrate 100 +myinfo_bytes 2000 +cl_updaterate 101 +rate 30000 -dxlevel 80 -w 1600 -h 900 -windowed +mat_antialias 8 +mat_forceaniso 16

+r_hunkalloclightmaps 0 = fix for engine hunk overflow

-heapsize 3145728 = Set how much memory in kb Garry's Mod is allowed to use. This is in my case 50% of my 6GB ram

+cl_cmdrate 100 +myinfo_bytes 2000 +cl_updaterate 101 +rate 30000 = Settings to fix most buffer overflow crashes.

-dxlevel 80 = reducing graphical appearance for more performance and stability really important

-w 1600 = width of my window

-h 900 = height of my window

-windowed = sets Gmod to a window instead of fullscreen

+mat_antialias 8 = Set antialias to 8x, since dxlevel 80 doesn't remember my settings for some reason

+mat_forceaniso 16 = Set flitering mode to 16


The only error I still receive are reliable snapshot overflow.

What do these actually do? Improve performance or something?

I got rid of hl2.exe errors and buffer overflows which were extremely annoying.

Nice!

Do the resolution/windowed mode settings contribute as well?

They are only needed because Garry's Mod in dx8 doesn't save settings as the resolution, the anti-alias, and the filtering mode. The windowed mode is just because I like to play in window, if you leave that setting, it will go in fullscreen.

What is the default value of this?

Quick question, if you let Gmod use less memory than it needs... Does your game lag? Then, why limit it?

so..
Code:
+r_hunkalloclightmaps 0 -heapsize 3145728 +cl_cmdrate 100 +myinfo_bytes 2000 +cl_updaterate 101 +rate 30000 -dxlevel 80 -w 1600 -h 900 -windowed +mat_antialias 8 +mat_forceaniso 16

I use typ this in console before i join FL server and then? profit?

You type it in your launch options, not console. You can get into it by rightclicking Garry's Mod->Properties->Set launch options
