This update requires servers to update before you can join them.

This means that for a certain amount of time after the update releases you may be unable to join servers and get a message saying "The server is running an older version of the game" instead. 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. Please be patient and let server owners update their servers.

t some point after June 2nd, the widely-used "GlueLibrary" add-on for Garry's mod was altered so that when you make your first input on loading into a map, the game plays max volume noises and presents a fullscreen "goatse," the infamous 2000s shock image of an anonymous man's spread anus.

Hey everyone,

We are releasing another small patch today.

The entire change log is as follows:
* Relaxed threshold for "Too many voice packets in a single frame!" kick
* Fixed crashing with npc_apcdriver when it doesn't have its vehicle
* Added console warnings when npc_apcdriver/npc_vehicledriver is removed due to it not having its vehicle to drive

As usual servers are recommended to update at earliest convenience.
