July 2024 Update is coming soon
Posted on July 24th, 2024 12:15 PM EST
Hello everyone,
The next Garry's Mod update is coming soon.
The current plan is to release the next Garry's Mod update on 31st of July at 2PM GMT.
This update will be backwards compatible with existing servers, so servers do not need immediate updating and players can still join old servers, but it is still highly recommended to update as soon as the update releases to get all the new features and fixes.
You can preview the list of upcoming changes here:
https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Update_Preview_Changelog
(Please note this list is still work in progress and is subject to change.)
Just run your game or your (development/test) server on one of the beta versions briefly to see if any new issues crop up compared to the current version of the game.
The Pre-Release Steam beta branch for Garry's Mod has been updated and contains all the changes that will be included in the next update. The "dev" and "x86-64" betas also contain all the upcoming changes.
You can report any found issues preferably on our official bug tracking repository on GitHub: (be sure to search before posting)
https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues
Or at the very least in the comments below, or on our official Discord server or:
https://discord.com/invite/gmod
If you want to set up a Dedicated Server instance using any of the beta branches, see this article: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Downloading_a_Dedicated_Server
