In addition to that, the Dropship NPC can now take damage and is no longer invulnerable when spawned in Sandbox.Spawnmenu got a few tweaks – content tabs can now have sub categories, which should help find what you are looking for faster. Naturally this system is open for addons to take advantage of.The player model selector menu has also been overhauled with categories, increased size and improved model rendering that better represents how the player model would actually appear in the game world.Finally, there’s now a new mountable game – standalone Insurgency (2014) game.Smaller stuffAs usual this update also brings a huge amount of smaller fixes, optimizations and other improvements as well, to both the game client and the developer tools.You can find the full change list for this update in our blog post:https://gmod.facepunch.com/news/september-2026-update17 September 2026 Hotfix:Re-enabled ability to override suit/health charger entities & combine mines with Lua entitiesAdded solution steps to “Failed to init Steamworks” crash dialogFixed certain addons with weird file names refusing to be mounted on Linux dedicated serversAdded some fallbacks in panel code to account for certain community addons and prevent Lua errorsFixed crash on start up on native 32-bit Linux client – Changed images format of _rt_ResolvedFullFrameDepth to RGBA8888
