Hello,

i have some weird problems with my l4d2 servers. when playing the old l4d1 campaigns the server crashes on map change. l4d2 campaign are fine.

it seems to be sourcemod related, but i am not sure about that. the following criteria must be matched to cause a crash:

1. l4d1 campaign
2. other players connected (doesn't crash when playing with bots)

i tried a lot to narrow down the cause of the crashes.

1. running the server with sourcemod and core plugins only - CRASHES
2. running the server without sourcemod - OK
3. running the server without metamod&sourcemod - OK
4. running the server with sourcemod and no active plugins - OK
5. reinstalling server + trying 1-4 again - 1 CRASHES, 2-4 OK

So basically, SM without any plugins is fine, with some of the core plugins: crash.

Some server information, the minimal configuration that crashes, too:

Workaround:

set precaching in server config


sm_cvar precache_all_survivors 1 // fixes crash on l4d1 campaigns; default 0
