Source engine update. D:

If you updated (like me), you have to wait until garry fixes it.

Yeah the engine update broke GMod. Don't worry, I'm on it like a car bonnet, just need coffee and paracetamol.

Valve, or Garry?

How the fuck does Garry code his shit so whenever one thing gets fixed, a billion others break like that?  Christ.

Update:

Just merging the code now. I don’t envisage any huge problems with this process – so it should be smooth sailing.

Patch tested and sent to Steam! My guess is that you will get it in about 3 hours.

Hey, Gmod is just a mod off using the source engine. Source engine gets constantly updated so gmod (a mod) has to get updated regularly also. You can't expect gmod being compatible to every type of code the source engine throws at it.

and its not Valve's job to make sure its compatible with the source engine updates thats Garry's job.

Comp sci major here.
