Hi everyone,

We are planning to release the next Garry's Mod update next week, on October 17th around 3PM GMT.

You can find the list of changes that will be coming here:

Help us test the update
We kindly ask anyone willing to help us test this update before it releases (especially modders and server owners), to minimize any potential problems with the update.

You will find instructions on how to use the upcoming update below.

Please note that this update NOT backwards compatible with the current version of the game, so you won't be able to play on normal servers while on the "prerelease" branch.
After the update releases you will have to wait for server owners to update their servers before you can play on them.

You can report any found issues in the comments below, or on our official bug tracking repository on GitHub: ( be sure to search before posting )

Pre-release Steam Branch
The Pre-Release Steam branch for Garry's Mod has been updated and contains all the changes that will be included in the next update.

If you want to set up an SRCDS instance using the Pre-Release branch, see this article: https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Hosting_A_Dedicated_Server.

How to switch game branches:
  1. Exit the game
  2. Right click on Garry's Mod in Steam and select Properties
  3. Go to the Betas tab and select your desired branch
None - This is the normal version of the game
Pre-Release - This is the next update
Dev - This is a bleeding edge version of the game, expect it to contain more bugs than usual
