Be aware that most new laptops come with two graphics processors and Garry's Mod may be using an internal one which is used for your display and video playback, etc to save on power. In this case your video card is incompatible with the game. Sometimes you may get this error on start up: Failed to create D3D device!Įrror 0x8876086A: D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE: This device does not support the queried technique. You could also try temporarily disabling any antivirus software you might have installed, as they may conflict with the game. If uninstalling is not an option, temporarily disable or exit the software before starting playing. It is advised to uninstall those programs or disable their Overlay functionality and try to launch the game again if you are having start up problems, such as black screen on start up.
If that doesn't work for some reason, you can do it manually: Sometimes game files might get corrupted and a file verification is necessary. If i dont use the chromium 64 at all, the performance in general is alot worse, barely above 150 on avg (yes ik its still alot, but not compared to what it can be).If when you start Garry's Mod the screen is black - your display settings might be wrong. This didnt use to be an issue in the past but it happens every time now. The server changes maps and the errors come back and i need to restart my game again.
i restart my game and the errors are gone and fps is back to normal. I join my favourite server and the console gets spammed with all these errors and i get less than 80fps. Lets say i get around 250fps using the chromium 64 bit version when everything is running smoothly. The original version of the game doenst have this (or it might just not throw the errors in the console). or that is when the console doesnt get spammed with errors about missing textures, wrong vertex files or sprite shaders. I always use this because it comes with quite a large boost in performance in general. So you can enable the chromium beta to have the 64 bit binaries.
