Timing out when tabbing out - Zaidplays - Apr 21, 2020
So not sure if anyone else is having this problem but whenever I tab out of the server to check something it doesn't let me back on the game when I press the gmod icon it just like takes2-3 minutes then says I've timed out. I currently play on the 64bit.
If anyone can help please do it's getting really frustrating.

Imma take a wild guess and assume its a hardware problem, maybe Storage or CPU.
But people know a hell of a lot more than me /shrug

Hey there, you could start your game with following start options to prevent that:
Quote:-windowed -noborder
Found under Lauch Settings in Properties.

There has been alot of bugs with the new 64 bit version.
You can try validate gmod on steam and disable all others addons that isnt LL's

Hey Zaid,
Firstly, I'd verify the games intergrity by following the below:
Right click Garry's Mod > Local Files > Verify Intergrity Of Game Files.
Let this run, if it finds any issues this will automatically resolve them.
If this doesn't help, and you're running the 64x bit version of GMod, try placing your graphics on "High" and nothing more. I know this sounds silly but I've been helping others with similar issues and this helped.
Lastly, check that your Graphics Drivers are fully upto date. Not that GMod uses alot of VRAM, however, out-dated GPU drivers can cause so many little, yet annoying bugs.
If all else fails, I'd say (Like Tom) it's hardware failiure. Potentially a CPU or RAM issue.
Hope this helps.

I had a similar issue and would have massive issues with fps in-game. I've noticed a significant improvement after following this video. Might be helpful. https://youtu.be/NRKMau_WDxo
