GMod Community News Commits, GitHub & Discord. One feed. In #next-update, TheSoulClock said the new x86-64 branch crashes his low-end laptop every time he joins a big server; Rubat said crash logs would be needed to do anything about it. Nykez said a Mac user of his started crashing on load, and WinterPhoenix suspected (not yet verified) a render.Capture crash on x86-64 Linux.
In #developer-talk, Astralcircle's game ran out of memory around poster 10 while making a huge map overview. Rubat pointed out that poster can leave the tiles uncombined via its second argument. Astralcircle then made a 20k screenshot of gm_construct.
Commit 9ecf4a on main makes prediction errors on arrays include the index for ints and floats, fixes a couple of multicore rendering memory leaks and a crash in render.UpdateScreenEffectTexture.
trigger_portal_cleanser added to the entity override whitelistrender.UpdateScreenEffectTexturewidgets.RenderMe and properties.GetHovered removed serversiderender.UpdateScreenEffectTexture, render.PushCustomClipPlane)In #developer-talk, Harry said he multithreaded SV_ComputeClientPacks, increasing performance by over 50% and running a solid 64 tick with 128 players. He is looking into going past 128 players; he expects the entity limit to be the main problem, since it can't be raised without client changes.
Commit 831250 on the x86-64 beta switches the Chromium (CEF) process to a newer GCC.
RaphaelIT7 asked for a Lua binding of CBasePlayer::FindUseEntity. robotboy655 closed it with a link to Player:GetUseEntity.
RaphaelIT7 asked to network m_bLocked and m_toggle_state for func_door_rotating, as prop_door_rotating already does.
RaphaelIT7 asked prediction errors to show which NetworkVar slot failed. robotboy655 made it report the slot for ints and floats the same day (commit 9ecf4a).
DarthTealc asked to use the "May 2026" vphysics on all platforms, including Linux32, matching Win32/Win64 and the upcoming Linux64. Grocel listed issues that are fixed once all platforms use it.
Grocel noted that PhysObj:GetBuoyancyRatio now exists but only works on Windows because 32-bit Linux vphysics is outdated, and asked robotboy655 to revisit the related physgun buoyancy issue; that issue (#5696) was closed the same day.
Grocel wrote in the thread that Rubat plans to start the Linux x64 transition during the current update cycle, so concrete progress could come by March 2027 at the latest.
