It shouldn't increase your ping, how much latency increase are you experiencing and how are you testing it? Originally posted by Soarin':Chromium is Google's open source web browser that's similar to Google Chrome. If the server has low tickrate, high choke, poor net values, or if the client has a poor connection, connecting to a server too far, has a laggy game, or their bandwidth is being maxed out by other users in the household or them downloading something then it will increase ping. Same holds true even for servers, if you set the server's tickrate too low (tickrate is equivalent to FPS in server terms, albeit just how many times per second it updates not displays frames) then you will experience a substantial ping increase. Ping is just the time it takes to send a packet to a server and how long it takes for it to get back to you, mods and Chromium shouldn't increase it unless if you have low FPS which would cause longer response times from you & the server because your client isn't updating as fast. Right click on your game Garry's Mod in your Steam library and select property.Ģ.Chromium is Google's open source web browser that's similar to Google Chrome. Will Chromium be installed one day by default on GMod instead of Awesomium?ġ.So you have to do a little manipulation on Steam, and that's exactly what I explain here.

The problem is that it is not installed by default. Fortunately the developers of Garry's Mod added Chromium which solves the problem. Unfortunately, sometimes when the user faces an obsolete browser he concludes that there is a bug while the solution is to replace an obsolete module by one that is up to date, so it will be enough to simply replace Awesomium by Chromium, all users will have to do it if they want to benefit from an up to date, secure and most importantly functional browser.Īwesomium is outdated on Gmod, many scripts, addons (or mods), and projects don't work anymore if you use Awesomium, some sites block outdated browsers for their own security.
