Bad Glitch

[mooch_]

This has been happening for a while, but never to this degree. The last few maps, when the server population gets too high / and theres too many props (I'm assuming the latter) my textures go "flat" and become a grey or flat black texture. I can still see player models and textures fine.

However, due to the new maps lighting it has made it completely unplayable.
I'm on a mac air 2015. 1.6 ghz i5
4gb ram
intel hd graphics 6k 1536 mb

Any suggestions?

this is probably just due to my shitty specs, but im jw if theres a work around.

Paging blooregardo since you have a mac also and maybe encountered this before

Your GPU is kinda low end and Airs aren't really designed for gaming. From what it looks like, you're running out of video memory. Try tanking your graphics settings and set -dxlevel 80 in launch options.

this

try cleaning out your gmod of old content and just starting fresh, it generally fixes a lot of things related to gmod clogging up and dying, at least in my history

delete old addons, run menu_cleanupgmas in console as well once you've unsubscribed to a bunch, and run factoryreset-gmod.bat (steam/steamapps/common/garrysmod) once you're done

Try mat_monitorgamma_tv_enabled 1

Won't solve the problem, but it will help a lot.

Best bet is to just do what I did, set install windows 7 on separate partition and play gmod on that, it runs better than the mac port and a lot of the more bizarre, unexplainable, or spooky glitches can be avoided this way. Boot Camp Utility should be included with your mac and it will walk you tgrough the process of setting up a new partition, installing the OS, and will download windows drivers for the macbook's hardware

For me gmod now runs completely without a hitch and smoother than some other people here. However, that's more owed to shelling out for 16gb ram rather than the anemic 4gb it came with
