Title: Anyone know how to prevent this crashing?
Post by: SoggyWontonz on March 12, 2016, 07:06:12 PM
So, my server will have moments where all NPCs/Props/etc will just disappear yet we can still see the shadows of them, they'll come back, and it'll flicker, then 90% of the server's players gmod's will crash/

Anyone know a fix?

I'm no expert, but the first place to look would be your server's specs. If you're running a VPS then you should be able to find this quite easily. If you're on a Garry's Mod host, then you might have to submit a ticket asking for the specs.

Do you have a lot of NPCs and props? What is your max playercount? How many people are on the server when it usually crashes?

It could be completely unrelated to serverside lag, but I think that's the most likely culprit.

We use a lot of NPCs when it crashes, but sometimes we will have more than usual and it doesn't crash

Try to lower the amount of entities you have being ran on the client, The crashes is the client having more entities than the engine can hold.

I would recommend getting iNPC(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=632126111) for lowering NPC entities, but it isn't a perm fix.
