Crashing every five minutes without warning is terrible. The only thing I can tell that seems to prompt the crashing is that when I approach lights a crash happens instantly.
(ALL SETTINGS ARE AT LOWEST POSSIBLE SETTINGS.)

Yeah uh, I have an issue where I look at specific part of the map, my game just poops and crashes.

 

[Disorder]

Post your computer specs. And yes, I do have to agree I get a considerable drop on FPS here.

 

[Zombiedude101]

Yeah, first time I joined the server yesterday w/ this map my client just closed itself down, next time I joined I had no issue though.

This map is pure evil.

My personal recommendation if you want to run potoky problem free is to place -dxlevel 80 in your launch options, which causes your game to launch in directx 8 compatibility mode. At least for me doing this fixed the majority of my problems running the map in gmod.

TBH I wouldn't recommend this. As much as it ups your framerate, it also kinda fucks up certain textures and can cause crashes with certain maps (rp_salvation_2 for instance). It might not work but you could try loading the map in singleplayer before joining the server, maybe?

Make sure that you have all the content nessacary, but as far as im concerned this map should run fine..........

Switching to DX80 mode will completely turn of bump mapping (this might help technically because the entire grass/dirt on potoky is bumpmapped) which will make your game look terrible.


Im slightly worried that if this is a problem now, rp_pripyat is going to be a nightmare because I have used a lot of similar techniques in the mapping process.

"Beta test" with a handful of people you trust like a week before release, perhaps?

 

[British]

Idk what the problem is because yesterday I was with him the whole time and didn't crash a single time

what are these "techniques" and what is this potoky map anyway?
