A new update has been released!

This update is optional, however it is strongly recommended that server owners install it.
Clients will automatically update via Steam when the game is restarted.

Peer-To-Peer Listen Servers

Servers that are created via the main-menu’s “Start New Game” button can now be connected to via Steam’s P2P networking. This means that – on most networks – friends are able to connect to each other’s games without any special network configuration being required (e.g. port forwarding).

To use it, all you have to do is use your friends list to join/invite a friend!

Queued (Multi-Core) Rendering

This isn’t finished yet, but queued rendering should be pretty robust now. Any changes in performance are entirely dependent on your hardware and the scene being rendered.

You can enable it by running a few commands when you launch the game (press Shift+Escape to open the console):
gmod_mcore_test 1
mat_queue_mode -1
cl_threaded_bone_setup 1

Other Changes

  • NEW Added mat_requires_rt_alloc_first ConVar from upstream.
  • UPD Lua console commands are now removed when disconnecting from a server/changing level.
  • FIX Replicated Lua ConVars are now properly synched with the server.
  • FIX Scripted weapons now function correctly when switching to a weapon with no ammo.
  • FIX Clients will no longer be disconnected with the reason “CL_CopyExistingEntity: missing client entity”.
  • FIX Crouch-jumping will no longer cause the screen to flicker after a certain amount of server up-time.
  • FIX Fixed rare crash that occurs when increasing the outgoing network buffer size for game-state snapshots.
  • FIX Ropes no longer cause the game to not properly close on exit.
  • FIX Fixed issue that could cause the “GetLuaTable != TABLE” crash to occur on level change.
  • FIX file.Find() now sorts its results properly. The default behavior is unchanged.
  • FIX HTTP() no longer leaks request references and won’t crash if the Lua state is destroyed during a request.
  • FIX Some security fixes.

A new update has been released! This time around we’ve mostly got bug fixes, but also some changes to the server browser.

The update will be automatically downloaded through Steam when you restart your game.

An update has been released which fixes an issue that allows malicious clients to cause game-servers to crash. If you don’t want this to happen to your server, you should update it.

All dedicated servers should be updated through either your Game Server Provider’s control panel or SteamCMD.

Hey everyone, the update is going live right now. The most notable changes here are probably bug fixes and performance improvements related to shadows.

The update will be automatically downloaded through Steam when you restart your game.
Players will still be able to join servers that have not updated, but I strongly suggest server owners install the update anyway.

Third-Party binary modules (or cheats) that use the internal ILuaInterface interface may no longer function after this update. Any binary modules using the official ILuaBase interface should not be affected.
