March 2021 Update is coming soon
The new update brings a few new features that server owners and addon developers will want to watch out for to stay on top of things. First of all, this update adds gamemode categories to the server browser. This requires all server owners and gamemode developers to update their gamemodes and set an appropriate category for it so players can filter gamemodes by these new categories and find your gamemode easier. You can find more info about this topic here: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Gamemode_Creation#category Secondly, the server browser now shows the location/spoken language of the server via a country flag icon. This setting is per server and is designed to help players more easily find servers from a preferred location and/or find servers with a common spoken language they can understand. You can find the details on how to do this properly here: https://wiki.facepunch.com/gmod/Downloading_a_Dedicated_Server#locationflag Lastly, there are some Lua API changes that will break existing scripts. These changes are unfortunately a necessary evil, and will not take long to fix. Specifically the behavior of Vehicle.SetVehicleParams has changed. You will find all of the details in the changelist, but the big issue that was fixed is with the vehicle speeds, where you no longer need to manually adjust between Hammer Units and Inches if modifying data from Vehicle.GetVehicleParams.
We kindly ask anyone willing to help us test this update before it releases (especially modders and server owners), to minimize any potential problems with the update. You will find instructions on how to test the upcoming update below. You can report any found issues in the comments below, on our official Discord server or on our official bug tracking repository on GitHub: (be sure to search before posting) https://github.com/Facepunch/garrysmod-issues https://discord.com/invite/gmod
The Pre-Release and x86-64 Steam beta branches for Garry's Mod has been updated and contain all the changes that will be included in the next update.

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.
