I put an update out today in hope that it would fix the recent Mac issues. I screwed it up though, and it didn’t fix anything.

On the bright side I fixed a couple of crashes - and updated to the latest engine. Expect another patch tomorrow with the REAL Mac fix - sorry guys :(

If you can’t join servers its because they need to be updated.

I’m aware of the Mac errors some people are getting right now. Rest assured I’m working on a fix for this - and hope to have it available by the end of today.

Update: It seems a bit more complicated than I thought. I’ve had to reach out to Valve to see if they have any ideas.

Update: This may be something that Valve has to fix. They’re looking into it.

I’ve sent another update for the Beta version of Garry’s Mod to Valve. If you want to know more about the beta (including how you can get access) you can view this wiki page.

It’s quite a slim update this time, as I’m trying to squish bugs and round the corners off other added features. There’s a few requested functions and a few improvements.

I ran through HL:Source and fixed it as best I could. So you’ve no longer got invisible props and broken sequences. It works pretty much perfectly now.

I added a few achievements for people that are using the workshop to upload their addons too. You’ll unlock them based on the amount of thumbs up your addons get :)

The guys in this thread are working on an update to gm_construct. I’ve agreed that if it’s good enough it’ll replace gm_construct in the big GMod 13 update.

If you have any opinions or suggestions then maybe you can have a read though the thread and post what you think. And since I know you’re as lazy as me - here’s  all the pictures in the thread.
