HELP & SUPPORT
  • Incompatible Addons: Link
  • Not Downloading or updating?
    - Make sure VJ Base is enabled.
    - Restart Garry's Mod.
    - Steam services may be under heavy traffic, wait until later.
    - Verify game cache.
    - Reinstall by deleting the gma file manually.
  • Lagging?
    - Decrease number of addons!
    - Enable multicore rendering!
    - Use x64-bit branch
  • Models invisible?
    It means the models require DirectX 9+, stop using an old PC! Applying the command "mat_dxlevel 90" could help!
