lua panic! something went horribly wrong "not enough memory"
I was joining my favorite darkRP server when I got this message
Someone has a fix?
I have tried:
- reinstalling gmod (5 times)
- deleting all addons
- clean reinstall
- switching the storage device (Hard drive to SSD and back)
- upping ram (putting -heapsize 8388608 in launch options)
I am out of options pls help.

Go on gmod's properties and betas select 64 bit and it will reinstall no worries the addons will stay

Sadly you can only launch it per steam not the desktop it will ask you if u want to launch with 32 - normal - 64 select 64 and the whole problem can be solved!

garrysmod lua engine will fail when more then 2GB of ram is used. heapsize wont work and its just because there are too many lua scrips on that server for gmod to handle in some way
So what can I do about it? My friends can play no problem and I used to play no problem but now it doesnt work

Try and see if GMod is taking over more space avaible in your drive than usual, for example. More than 5GB. If this happens, I suggest testing GMod on another PC *If you can or are even allowed too* to see what is this being caused by.

What do you mean "If you can or are even allowed too* to see what is this being caused by"

What I mean if you can. Like if you are restricted from using another PC. And "are even allowed too" was just a random sentence that doesn't make no sense, I forgot to edited that out.

Since you are restricted or maybe you don't own any other PCs. Then, this may sound expensive but you may need to upgrade your storage, or maybe buy a new PC. How old is your PC anyways? Age may be a related issue.

This is a very strange issue. Have you tried restarting your PC too? Or maybe scan for some viruses, viruses may cause this issue.

Have you joined other servers. Like other type of servers in the DarkRP catagory server or others. If you can, that server must be down. I hope this helps.
