NovaDiablox asked to unbind F8 by default. robotboy655 declined: loading shouldn't boot you from the session; the engine wrongly checked mountable games for the "quick" save file. Commit bb557c fixes it.

Akabenko wrote on his request to add the 3D skybox to SSAO_DepthPass that a stencil is needed, because the game world is expected to always render on top of the 3D skybox.

Earu reported that a brush model with an $alphatest material leaks render state, so materials without $basetexture (vgui/white, surface.DrawRect, fonts) stop rendering. He provided a map for robotboy655; the issue was closed as completed the same day.

drobotk's PR makes ENT:StoreOutput treat times=0 like times=-1, matching engine entities. Merged on 15 October (commit bb557c).

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Grocel noted that PhysObj:GetBuoyancyRatio now exists but only works on Windows because 32-bit Linux vphysics is outdated, and asked robotboy655 to revisit the related physgun buoyancy issue; that issue (#5696) was closed the same day.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.

drobotk asked to add trigger_portal_cleanser to the override whitelist to recreate Portal 2's version in Lua. Done on 14 October (commit 9ecf4a).

robotboy655 applied a fix on dev for the 2017 issue about bad UV tiling in surface.DrawTexturedRectUV, noting it may move to a separate function or argument if it breaks addons (commit 6a75b6).

Tiagoquix proposed a policy banning LLM-generated contributions. robotboy655 closed it: "Lets worry about low quality spam if and when it actually happens."

artemking4 asked for a way to show server messages while loading, since players often disable loading screens. He later added that it doesn't have to break net compatibility, for example via svc_GMOD_ServerToClient.

robotboy655 closed Akabenko's PR using string.find to detect cable shaders: it wouldn't be faster and would let non-existent shaders with "cable" in the name through.

megascan reported repeated SIGSEGV crashes on Linux x86-64 inside the Steam Runtime's libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (RSA_new_method) while a Bootil thread verifies HTTPS certificates.

a-straight-white-male reported that $seamless_scale breaks the second normal map on WorldVertexTransition materials.

figardo opened a PR adding ttt_credits_max: above 255 credits the networked value overflows and the client shows fewer credits.

bydread reported GMod failing to launch with "No STEAMAPPS_INTERFACE_VERSION009". robotboy655: the game now uses newer Steam features, so the Steam client must be updated.

callumok2004 reported that returning a value in PostDrawSkyBox prevents the 3D skybox flag from being reset. Fixed on 12 October (commit 693484).
