Installation

• Switch to the x86-64 branch of Garry's Mod on Steam (x32 works but not recommended)

• Ensure you've ran the vanilla game at least once, especially if you switched branches.

• Download RTXLauncher.

• Windows

  • Put RTXLauncher.Avalonia.Windows.exe in an empty folder, run it as an Administrator
  • Do not place in the same place as your vanilla game
  • Do not place it in a OneDrive synced folder (Documents, Desktop, etc), the game will not work correctly if you do so

• Linux

  • Ensure Steam Play is forced for Garry's Mod with either Proton Experimental or another recent Proton build.
  • Run GModPatchTool
  • Put RTXLauncher.Avalonia.Linux in an empty folder, run it via the terminal or double click it (make sure it's marked as executable chmod +x ./RTXLauncher.Avalonia.Linux)

• Select the Fixes package type:

  • garrys-mod-rtx-remixed (this repo, normal version)
  • garrys-mod-rtx-remixed-perf (performance focused version)

• Select Start Quick Install on the main screen and follow the prompts when asked.

• Once it's finished, press Launch Game at the bottom of the launcher.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer works best when the server/host has this addon and the cvar sv_allowcslua 1 set.

You can join servers without the addon but you will experience visual issues.
