The rewrite of the tool is officially out of beta. We've moved from a python base to Rust, and with it comes a fresh new name and the early workings of GUI support, faster and more reliable downloading, caching, and patching, and a new pkgbuild script.
Remember, to run the app, we'll need to use "gmodpatchtool-bin" going forward. Thank you for your continued support.
Thank you for the updated version of the tool :]
@TSG thanks, I know :) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gmodpatchtool-bin now exists, and this repo will hopefully be merged into it soon enough.
Package now identifies as "gmodpatchtool" as of 8/10/2025 release. https://github.com/solsticegamestudios/GModPatchTool/releases/tag/20250810
We're once again up-to-date. Sorry for the delay.
With this update comes support for Flatpak, Snap, and other containerized Steam installations, which just rolled out tonight, so even more users can benefit without changing their setups to accommodate the fix!

context: exit status 1With the latest version, we now have early support for Steam's Proton compatibility layer. It is still recommended, in most circumstances, however to use the native Linux binaries.
In order to use with Proton, follow the steps below.
makepkg to get the executable.GModCEFCodecFix-Linux executable with chmod +x /path/to/GModCEFCodecFix-LinuxPROTON_SET_GAME_DRIVE=1 %command% to your Garry's Mod [x86-64] launch options.GModCEFCodecFix-Linux.

Because that binary is three years out of date and hasn't been updated nor maintained. I've provided a more or less officially managed repository here in its stead; one that I'll try not to let fall years out of date. I am not super familiar with the workings or etiquette of the AUR, but I am an active part of the team which releases, updates, and maintains this software.
Pretty much this: This copy is actively updated to some degree and the other has been stale for years now. Feel free to try to use the other if you wish, though.
Edit: This one also uses the correct naming conventions we use in the official release, which is fairly important for search engines.
Why was this package published to the AUR when https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gmod-cef-codec-fix-bin exists?
