July 2016 Update
Servers that are created via the main-menu's "Start New Game" button can now be connected to via Steam's P2P networking. This means that - on most networks - friends are able to connect to each other's games without any special network configuration being required (e.g. port forwarding). To use it, all you have to do is use your friends list to join/invite a friend!
This isn't finished yet, but queued rendering should be pretty robust now. Any changes in performance are entirely dependent on your hardware and the scene being rendered. You can enable it by running a few commands when you launch the game (press Shift+Escape to open the console):

A new update has been released! This update is optional, however it is strongly recommended that server owners install it. Clients will automatically update via Steam when the game is restarted.
Peer-To-Peer Listen Servers
Servers that are created via the main-menu's "Start New Game" button can now be connected to via Steam's P2P networking. This means that - on most networks - friends are able to connect to each other's games without any special network configuration being required (e.g. port forwarding). To use it, all you have to do is use your friends list to join/invite a friend!
Queued (Multi-Core) Rendering
This isn't finished yet, but queued rendering should be pretty robust now. Any changes in performance are entirely dependent on your hardware and the scene being rendered. You can enable it by running a few commands when you launch the game (press Shift+Escape to open the console):
gmod_mcore_test 1
mat_queue_mode -1
cl_threaded_bone_setup 1
Other Changes
- Added mat_requires_rt_alloc_first ConVar from upstream.
- Lua console commands are now removed when disconnecting from a server/changing level.
- Replicated Lua ConVars are now properly synched with the server.
- Scripted weapons now function correctly when switching to a weapon with no ammo.
- Clients will no longer be disconnected with the reason "CL_CopyExistingEntity: missing client entity".
- Crouch-jumping will no longer cause the screen to flicker after a certain amount of server up-time.
- Fixed rare crash that occurs when increasing the outgoing network buffer size for game-state snapshots.
- Ropes no longer cause the game to not properly close on exit.
- Fixed issue that could cause the "GetLuaTable != TABLE" crash to occur on level change.
- file.Find() now sorts its results properly. The default behavior is unchanged.
- HTTP() no longer leaks request references and won't crash if the Lua state is destroyed during a request.
- Some security fixes.

Garry's Mod is a physics sandbox. There aren't any predefined aims or goals. We give you the tools and leave you to play.
You spawn objects and weld them together to create your own contraptions - whether that's a car, a rocket, a catapult or something that doesn't have a name yet - that's up to you. You can do it offline, or join the thousands of players who play online each day.
If you're not too great at construction - don't worry! You can place a variety of characters in silly positions. But if you want to do more, we have the means.
The Garry's Mod community is a tremendous source of content and has added hundreds of unique modes to the game. In Trouble In Terrorist Town, you can be a detective solving an online murder as criminals attempt to cover up their homicides. Be a ball, a plant, a chair, or anything else in Prop Hunt's elaborate, shape-shifting game of Hide & Seek. Elevator: Source is gaming's first elevator thrill ride, delivering players to airlocks and kitten dance parties.
We have one of the most vibrant Steam Community Workshops, with over 300'000 models, maps, and contraptions to download. It has everything from new tools to improve your builds, to guns that fire rainbow-tinged nuclear blasts from space. Take as much or as little as you need: it’s all free.
Please note: Some multiplayer servers and game-modes might require you to own other games - such as Counter-Strike: Source and Team Fortress 2.
