Step 1

First, close Garry's Mod.

Then open Steam, and right click Garry's Mod from your Library games list. Select Properties from the menu.

Steam > Garry's Mod > Properties

In the Properties window, select "Betas", then click on the Dropdown menu and select "x86-64 - Chromium + 64-bit Binaries"

Steam > Garry's Mod > Properties > Betas

Now you can close the properties window and wait for the update to download. Once it's done, proceed to the next step.

Download the Latest Release of GModPatchTool for Linux (ChromeOS is Linux).

GModPatchTool Logo GModPatchTool

Extract (unzip) GModPatchTool-Linux.zip.

Proceed to the next step.

Open the Chrome app, then open crosh by pressing CTRL+ALT+T.

Run the following commands in crosh, in order:

vmc share borealis Downloads vsh borealis cd /mnt/shared/MyFiles/Downloads ./gmodpatchtool TODO | Image: Running commands in crosh

Here's what each command does, if you'd like to know:

  1. vmc share borealis Downloads - Shares your Downloads folder with the Steam VM
  2. vsh borealis - Accesses the Steam VM
  3. cd /mnt/shared/MyFiles/Downloads - Changes directory to the Downloads folder you just shared
  4. ./gmodpatchtool - Runs GModPatchTool

Proceed to the next step.

GModPatchTool should now patch Garry's Mod. It may take some time depending on your internet connection speed.

  • Auto-launching GMod after patching

Auto-launching GMod after patching

ℹ This enables you to configure GModPatchTool to launch GMod immediately after successfully patching.

Create a Bash script named RunGModPatchTool.sh in the same folder as the gmodpatchtool executable, containing the following:

#!/bin/bash vsh borealis -- /mnt/shared/MyFiles/Downloads/gmodpatchtool --launch-gmod --skip-exit-prompt

Mark your script as executable using its File Properties or with chmod +x. You should now be able to simply double click the script to patch GMod and then run it without prompting you on close.
