Micro optimizations for the main menu, prop_effect initialization, table lookups in Sandbox tools, TTT spawnpoint selection, Thruster effects, Sandbox Light entity rendering, and halo library when rendering models with decals (Community Contributions)
•
Minor changes to prop_effect rendering for better integration with community addons (Community Contribution)

Implemented partial prediction latch resets from Team Fortress 2 SDK - Makes prediction errors with weapons not reset every predictable variable, causing player position jolt. This is what Half-Life 2: Deathmatch does already.
•
Cleanup contents of the cache/workshop/ folder on dedicated servers for no longer used/installed addons

Delete Lua error log files if they are over 100MB

Don't fruitlessly search workshop content for every mounted path - only search in addons for each Workshop path

•
Updated Sandbox Undo system UI code to be more self contained and flicker less on refresh
•
Refactor cleanup tool UI to be more self contained (Community Contribution)
•
Added dormancy check to Sandbox Lights, so lights outside of PVS no longer produce light, allowing more lights to be placed in the local area (Community Contribution)

Updated config_default.cfg to set ConVars to their defaults - mp_decals and sensitivity. Were set to 2x their default, now set to the actual default

Reset stale gamemode details on server list refresh (Community Contribution)

Prevent invisible Projected Textures (brightness 0) from trying to render projected shadows

Apply crazy physics entity removal to movetype FLY(GRAVITY) entities - This fixes crossbow and SMG1 projectiles spamming warnings infinitely when they somehow fall outside of the map
•
Improve "TWOPASS" brush rendering in shadow passes
•
Removed unused NW vars in gmod_thruster code + switch remaining ones to DTVars system (Community Contribution)
•

Made dsp_reload convar a cheat

Improved smoothness of various game systems at high curtime/uptime, such as certain NPCs firing, flying and certain types of entity animations

•
Display Lua net messages in the Net Graph with a separate color
•
Automatically scale the Net Graph if it goes higher than half of the screen, so it doesn't cover it entirely
•
Added fallbacks for SurfaceGGX and WorldGGX shaders (for mountable games)
•
Moved "dynamic shadow poke through" community fix to opt in convar (r_shadow_clip) since it causes unwanted behavior sometimes
•

Stopped some pointless materials being loaded on game start up
•
Removed FCVAR_ARCHIVE from sv_loadingurl - Don't want this to be saved on game clients

Disabled dedicated server status bar on Windows - causes issues with console history
•
Removed the Half-Life 2/Portal demo code - It was calling some clientside Steamworks APIs on the game server
