Oddly enough in Windows, by shutting down your PC (and not restarting it), Windows will clear certain memory that is other wise cannot be cleared on restart (Unless you configure it on your PC, which I forgot how to do it ). Only solution to this is to ask the addon/gamemode creator to either optimize or fix these issues on their side. This raises a point where any addons/gamemodes can possibly be making too many calls to some internal graphical functions on the client side causing the game to freeze. Problems with addons/gamemodes using too much graphical callsįrom the other thread (aka #2091), has noted that running surface.createFont around a thousand times can cause the game to allocate too many graphical resources causing the game to freeze. You can fix it by disabling some or all of your addons to see if it improves the issue. mostly enhanced texture, models, and overall graphics addons) can be a cause to the issue. Some addons that you possibly have installed right now on your Garry's Mod (e.g. Choose the lowest graphics choice for any of the settings.Lowering down graphicsįrom the other thread (aka #2091), some people have reported that lowering down some of the graphics qualities can free up video usage and cause the freezes to occur less often. Restarting your PC can possibly clean up the memory usage that is normally not possible from shutting down programs. There is a possibility that there is allocated resources in your system that has not been cleaned up which still leaves scarce resources for Garry's Mod to use. Though for me personally testing this, this rarely sometimes has a chance of not working. It's best to close down programs your currently not using so Garry's Mod can have more graphical resources to use. Some programs uses heavy processing power to render (aka Chrome, Firefox, Discord, Steam, Painting or Rendering Programs ) which will leave few graphical resources for Garry's Mod to use which will cause the freezing issue to happen. You will get a prompt asking if you want to change the priority though has a chance of causing system instability.Search > Task Manager > More Details (If the window is small) > Details > hl2.exe > Right Click > Set Priority > Click on High.Personally this has fixed the issue sometimes though has a chance of force restarting the PC. This will cause Garry's Mod to have more focus on resources usage from the operating system instead of it taking up the resources the game needs. For some odd reason, mat_antialias will trigger a screen resolution reset restoring the graphics state from what I understand. ![]() ![]() You have to bind two of them like the example because the game will only reset your graphics state if the value is different from before. Paste both of those commands into the console. The method that mostly works so far is this: Note that all of these solutions are mostly temporary and are not permanent fixes to the issue.

So I'm suggesting a fix where when the screen freezes, the graphics restarts for the game so that players can keep playing the game without having to reboot it and lose a lot of progress. I'm not sure if this ever will be fixed for Garry's Mod though seriously this bug has pestered me and a lot of other players for the last few years of playing this game. close out of the game, restart your PC, close many programs, set the program as high priority) though sometimes those solutions do work and sometimes they don't work but they all only fix the problem temporarily. I searched up many ways to see how to fix this issue and the only suggestion is to (e.g. There is many moments when your playing hours into a server and just randomly, the game screen freezes which means you have to close the game and lose all of your progress. If this isn't an appropriate place to put this at then I will move this to the Facepunch forums. ![]() Yes I know this issue already exists currently (aka #2091) though I also want to make this a thread for anyone else who has been dealing with this issue for a long time now and possible solutions that can fix the issue.
