Unlike many previous updates, this one will require servers to update before you can join them. We try to keep such updates to a minimum, but it was necessary for this update.

This means that for a certain time after the update you may get a message such as "The server is running an older version of the game" when connecting to your favourite servers. You will have to wait for servers to update before you can join them again.

You CANNOT downgrade to a previous version of the game.

Hi everyone,

We are planning to put out the next Garry's Mod update next week.

You can find the list of changes that will be coming here:
http://wiki.garrysmod.com/changelist/prerelease/

The Pre-Release Steam branch for Garry's Mod has been updated and contains all the changes that will be included in the next update.

Please note that this update NOT backwards compatible with the current version of the game, so you won't be able to play on normal servers.

If you want to set up an SRCDS instance using the Pre-Release branch, see this article: https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Hosting_A_Dedicated_Server.

Over the years, Trouble in Terrorist Town has been one of the most enduring Garry's Mod modes, if not to play then certainly to watch. We got in touch with TTT's creator Stefan (aka Bad King Urgrain) to talk about how it came together, how it sprung from another mod, why people are still playing his duplicitous deathmatch, and what Gabe Newell thinks about it.

What if Gordon Freeman didn't exist? That's the premise behind Haven, a 40 minute experimental machinima that has just been released, filmed in Garry's Mod. I wasn't even 10 minutes into watching it when I started making notes to send to the creator, because I had so many questions about how something like this was possible.

Come and watch the whole thing, and read how film-maker Daniel Schetter crafted one of the most impressive pieces of machinima you'll ever see.
