RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS
GModPatchTool | June 23rd, 2026 Update Released + State of Cinema/CEF!
  • Better localconfig.vdf handling/reading
  • UAC no longer triggers on Windows in some circumstances (apparently having "patch" in the filename was enough to trigger it)
  • We now use the system's proxy settings again, which may fix some situations with "error sending request"

We also updated our build pipeline so GModPatchTool is no longer built manually. We now use GitHub Actions with build attestation/provenance, which means you can now verify the release executables came from our public code and hasn't been tampered with. More info here:

State of Cinema/CEF
We also have an update on the state of Cinema/CEF. Last time, we let you know that CEF is now available on the Windows public (non-beta) branch of GMod.

This time, I'm happy to report that Facepunch has begun merging x86-64 to the dev branch*!
* Technically they're making the dev branch 64-bit/bringing over CEF from the ground up, it's not the x86-64 branch verbatim, but close enough!

This is an important step, and it means at some point (possibly within the next couple of GMod updates), we'll see CEF and 64-bit on ALL platforms on the public (non-beta) branch!

Should this come to pass, players will no longer need to switch to a specific beta for GMod in Steam for the best experience. Just download GMod, run GModPatchTool, and go!

The Next CEF Update
We don't have an update to CEF itself as part of this GModPatchTool Release, however, we're planning on doing this soon. We're currently using CEF 137, which came out in May 2025, and the stable version of CEF is currently CEF 149, so our patched version could definitely use an update. A note that GMod itself still uses CEF 86 (October 2020) when CEF is available out of the box.

This CEF update may take some time as the way sandboxing works changed dramatically in CEF 138, so it won't be simple, but we're actively looking into it.

Happy 13th Anniversary, Yuki!
  • Map v3 Beta8
    • Finishing what we wanted to have in Beta7, including a lot of missing detail, Bathrooms, cubemap reflections, etc
  • Bowling Alley / Arcade
    • We're going to start with Bowling
    • Arcade cabinets will come later
    • Eight Ball will also be in this location
    • All games in the Bowling Alley will be playable at the same time as watching Media (for the first time!)
  • Media Service refresh
    • There's been some issues with some services lately that need reviewing
    • We want to add more services, some of which will be for non-English speakers (like Bilibili)
  • Chalkwall + Power Supporter Credits
    • If you've paid close attention, since Map v3 Beta6c, there's been a chalkboard behind the logo art on the second floor of the Lobby
    • We want to make it so players can draw on the chalkboard, even with real drawing tablets
    • Maybe it'll even be visible on the website at some point
    • Obviously there will be moderation on it

Thanks for being here for us, and still showing up to our silly little events. We wouldn't still be here, without you. ❤️

Let's make 2026 our best year yet! 🍾

P.S. Remember to hop on YukiTheater[yukitheater.org] today (before 12AM Eastern/Server Time) to get your 13th Anniversary Achievement! 🎉

P.P.S. If you haven't seen it yet, Map v3 Beta7 is out, but we're still going to do a separate announcement for that, along with a Changelog of everything we've done this year, so stay tuned. ;p

Love You All! 💖

Is it possible to add a “🍖” Kernel? I also asked in the Kernel suggestion thread on the Forums. I love the server, donated, and i’m always having fun doing in Yuki Theater! :steamhappy:
