Soul's launch options

[SoulRipper]

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.

-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

What is the default value of this?

[Holdem]

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

[Cherryberry]

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
