GMod Community News Commits, GitHub & Discord. One feed. In #next-update, Yunhaohku hit a crash showing "funny number -12"; Evgeny Akabenko said the cause wasn't determined, and Blank said it happened to him nonstop since the day before. Rubat asked for a crash dump and linked the crash reporting guide. Later that day Darth said Yunhaohku's crash dump shows an outdated or edited launcher.dll.
Commit 7b6a89 on main brings the crash fixes (including saves), allows m_hGoalEnt and m_hPhysicsEnt in SetSaveValue and tries to account for info_ladder_dismount inside the ground.
m_hGoalEnt and m_hPhysicsEnt in SetSaveValue; hEnemy is replaced by NPC:SetEnemyinfo_ladder_dismount inside groundAstralcircle reported that SetNW* with nil only resets on the server. It was closed as a duplicate of #3397, where Astralcircle suggested falling back to the default value like NW2.
Commit f668ee on the x86-64 beta: "Fix crashes related to recent changes, including saves".
In #next-update, Redox asked to enable gmod_mcore_test by default on main and dev too before x86-64 goes away. On 24 Oct Darth replied it's already 1 in both x86-64 and dev, but not main as far as he knows.
