Hey, we're pushing an update for Garry's Mod right now. You'll still be able to play on any servers that have not yet been updated.
There's some more in-depth information on the update [url=https://gmod.facepunch.com/blog/july-2017-update/]here[/url].
It might take up to 15 minutes for the update to pop up on Steam.
