Performance Guide

Performance is important to us! With the vast amount of content on the server, we’ve optimized as much as possible, but a lot depends on your own settings. Here are the best ways to boost your FPS:

1. Use the x64 Branch

This is one of the biggest performance boosts you can get.

In Steam, right-click Garry’s Mod → Properties → Betas.
Select x86-64 - Chromium + 64-bit binaries.
This can double your FPS in many cases.

2. Enable Multicore Rendering & Hardware Acceleration

When joining the server, you’ll be prompted to enable these.
Turn both ON for a significant FPS increase with no downside.
If you experience instability, try disabling them.
You can also disable the skybox for more FPS, but this will reduce visual quality.
If you want to open the menu again just type !fps

3. Optimize Spawn & Context Menu Settings

In the spawn menu, check under Options and Utilities on the right side.
Here you’ll find custom client settings (created by Zero) that can disable certain effects like the nightclub system to save FPS.
You can also adjust Photon lighting settings here.

4. Useful Vehicle Console Commands

Try adjusting these if you have issues with vehicles or crashes:

r_drawmodeldecals 0 — Use if you crash after shooting cars, or switch to the x64 branch.
r_rootlod 0 — Recommended; if cars look distorted, increase your Model Detail to High.
mat_specular 1 — Enables reflections on vehicles for better visuals.
mat_bumpmap 1 — Adds texture depth and is required for some reflection effects.

IMPORTANT: You must have your model and texture details set to high+ otherwise vehicles and certain models/textures will be distorted/weird.
