L4d2 - Witches crash my game

My L4d2 crashes whenever a witch is spawned by me or AI Director.
This only happens when sourcemod is installed and I've tried using different versions of sourcemod/metamod as well as taking out all the plugins. Nothing has worked so far.

Please help.

Re: L4d2 - Witches crash my game

can you remove plugin nr 23 (l4d_witches 1.5 by Sheleu) and reboot your server, then try? that witch mod dosn't even appear to be a valid mod from this forum?

also, try upgrading metamod to latest 1.9-dev also. always run sm-dev with metamod-dev and sm stable with metamod stable. ive always had problems by running sm-dev with metamod stable.

Currently switched to these and removed the L4d_witches 1.5 plugin. The crashing still happens when its still a clean sourcemod and metamod with no changes to them at all.

Re: L4d2 - Witches crash my game

Clean meta and sourcemod does not produce a crash on witch with the current stable version.

Why are you using the dev builds? Any particular reason?

Re: L4d2 - Witches crash my game

neither does the -dev versions. it must be one of his plugins or it could be his dedicated server being corrupted.

download hldsupdatetool and do a complete reinstall of the server. then add sourcemod and metamod to it but do not add any custom plugins.
then tell me if your server crashes on an AI spawned witch? most likely it will not.

Re: L4d2 - Witches crash my game

I have the same problem. I'm running, and always have ran, a local (listen) server from the game client. Played for more than half a year like this without problems, now when a witch is spawned by any means the game just closes without any error messages or anything, like I Alt+F4'd it.

Re: L4d2 - Witches crash my game

This seems to only be happening to local hosted servers.
