Garry’s Mod creator Garry Newman has confirmed that Facepunch Studios will be “keeping more of an eye” on player-made content related to Nazis going forward, following a debate on the studio’s moderation responsibilities.While Garry’s Mod‘s community-oriented approach means its servers and game modes are created by players rather than Facepunch, a number of World War 2 modes and Nazi-oriented game modes have led to Garry Newman – who the game is named after – addressing the topic on Twitter today (April 20).While Newman can see the educational and entertainment “merit” in these games, the creator has warned that some too far and actively glorify the fascist regime.While Newman confirmed Facepunch doesn’t “want to police” the “huge majority” of entertainment-oriented servers, he acknowledged that the studio has a responsibility to prevent extreme servers from finding a home in Garry’s Mod.Lots of worry about the Garry's Mod server moderation.. here's a bit more of an explanation.RoleplayingI can see merit in the games here where you roleplay survival/war scenarios.

Facepunch Studios has confirmed that the February update for the survival game Rust will feature a performance fix.Rust’s latest update, dubbed the “arctic” update due to its addition of snow, is set to launch today (February 3). Although the patch notes have yet to be released for players to comb through, the developer has revealed that it will include a framerate fix that will apparently make significant adjustments to the game’s performance.According to PCGamesN, Facepunch addressed the framerate issues in a press release, saying, “After doing a bunch of profiling we noticed that there were some significant stalls on the render thread and our tree impostor system was most likely the cause of the issue, even though the population had only been tweaked very slightly recently.”The developer also said that when the fix goes live, “frame rates should be a lot more consistent again (as long as what’s being rendered is consistent) and should overall be slightly higher in general, particularly in areas with a lot of bushes and trees like Bandit Camp.”Ahead of the release, images have also been shared online featuring a new Arctic Research Station, hazmat suits, as well as polar bears to fit the patch’s winter theme.Players can expect the Rust patch to be released today at 7 PM GMT / 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST.Elsewhere, Facepunch recently reflected on its most significant moments in Rust over the last year, confirming that its Voice Props DLC Pack was the game’s “best selling DLC to date.” The game has also sold almost 12.5million copies in its eight years since launch, with a peak of 267,211 players on the game at once.
