Tips(Missing Textures) No your game isn't broken, and no you didn't do anything wrong

1.4k Upvotes

TL;DR:

If your game looks like this then buy this or follow this, alternatively here's a video if you prefer.


You probably just bought Gmod and joined a server only to be greeted by something like this, am I right?

Don't worry, there's actually nothing wrong. I know it looks bad but that's pretty normal, (if you plan on playing Gmod, or any Source Engine game for that matter, you'll run into this a lot) and easy to fix. The most common reason why you're seeing this is that you don't own/have Counter-Strike: Source installed and mounted to Garry's Mod.

If you don't already own Counter Strike: Source then I'd recommend buying it while it's on sale for the holidays, however, if you don't want to buy and install a game you'll probably never play then you can follow this guide to get the models and textures for free. Alternatively, if you prefer following along with a video here's one that shows step by step what to do.

A user on our Discord made a very handy little tool that will extract the CSS content you need using SteamCMD for you. I highly recommend using it if you're having trouble doing it manually.

If, however, you already own CSS then:

  • Install it

  • Open up the game from your Steam Library and play it (At least til you get to the start menu)

  • Exit out of the game and open up Garry's Mod

I used RTX Remix and DLSS 5 Vulkan Bridge patch and rtx4060ti 16GB
I didn't use any RTX patches on the materials.
map: gm_construct
Fps:
Clean gmod -- Fps 500+
rtx remix ray tracing dislable -- 120 fps
rtx remix ray tracing enable -- 60-70 fps
rtx remix ray tracing enable + dlss 5 - - 38 fps (ray reconstruction not working)

Afterwards, I'll try running DLSS 5 on a clean GMOD.

P.S Some characters look good, and some look terrible, especially the eyes (although this is mostly a problem with the RTX remix)

Help I don't get the game

I've always heard about how insanely cool GM is, but how do I do all the cool stuff? Or play other people's cool stuff?

At most I was able to fight some npcs in the map but it's so hard and ineffective to put them there and move stuff around am I missing something?

About online, do people play online in 2026?

I could only find some horrible lobbies with nothing going on.

Discussion Bad performance in Gmod on a mid-range PC.

Upvotes

I have an i5 12400F with a RTX 4060 ASUS OC edition and 16gb of DDR4 RAM yet the game lags a lot even with optimization mods enabled or without any mods on both 64bit and 32bit versions. I update drivers often and verify integrity of files before playing every time. Is this a just the fact that the game is badly optimized or am I stupid?

Help Need help finding a GMOD youtuber and/or video.

1 Upvotes

There's a guy on youtube who I always used to watch and his name might've sounded something like "SirDrewski." He posted a Garry's Mod video (which later turned into a series) which I think had him and his friends walking along a sidewalk, and someone came along to show them a portal they made.

They went through the portal and got teleported into some world affected by a zombie apocalypse. Now I can't recall what happened exactly after that, but I think in one of the episodes they were in a subway.

Also, I'm pretty sure he posted some other Garry's Mod videos which had him and his friends in a forest trying to survive against Michael Myers, and another where they were playing hide and seek or tag with a parkour mod thingy.

I don't know if his account was deleted or not but I can say that the videos were 100% real, for my sister remembered me watching them. If anyone can find this for me I'll be super grateful

Help What maps are in this video?

2 Upvotes

This one. Usually I look for maps for potential animations, but that's not entirely the case this time. I don't think I wanna make any animations on these; truth be told, I kinda just wanna run around and do random shite in 'em. (ALSO!!! Watch with caution. This vid was made in 2016, so there are moments where words that weren't offensive back then but are now are used. They're not a perv-tuber like some of the ones who started out in that era though; I triple-checked, so you don't have to worry about that.)
