Usually, computer cores divide the tasks among them. Garry’s Mod lag in many cases can be due to your computer not giving the game the priority it needs to run the game. The easiest way to fix the textures is to actually buy the game. A lot of mappers use materials and props from that game. Purple textures and big red flashing errors in gmod are usually caused by you not having Counter-Strike: Source. Please note: Some multiplayer servers and game-modes might require you to own other games – such as Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2. Take as much or as little as you need: it’s all free. It allows the player to manipulate objects and experiment with the physics of the Source engine, often with interesting results due to the power of the engine. Garry’s Mod, or GMod for short, is a sandbox modification for Half-Life 2 but later became a stand-alone game. All the voice lines and most regular sounds will be missing as well. But you can still launch the levels within Gmod, although most of the logic of the maps won’t work while playing on Gmod since the game isn’t on the same engine branch as portal 1. From the Steam page for Garry’s Mod: Counter Strike: Source is currently $19.99 at posting.

However, you will need to purchase and download (possibly) Counter Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2 for a lot of the textures and other game objects. Technically – you do not need to purchase anymore games.

STEP 3: Go to settings and find the mouse tab and enable the gamepad checkbox.

STEP 2: Now start Steam Big Picture Mode and start Garry’s Mod.

STEP 1: Plug in your Xbox Controller in to your laptop/desktop with the USB thingy you can plug in with the your Xbox Controller.

While it is possible to play the game with a Steam Controller, it is in most cases impossible to map all the required actions of the game to the very limited inputs of a Controller. Garry’s Mod does not have official controller support.
