L4D2 Crashes on Startup
 
After today's update which contained The Passing, MetaMod has been crashing L4D2 on startup.
I kept removing different folders and the files within those folders in Addons until I found the one file that caused the crash.
If I remove metamod.2.l4d2.dll from addons/metamod/bin, L4D2 will boot fully.
If I leave the file in, it crashes and immediately goes to my desktop during the loading screen after the intro video.

I'm just assuming that since this file is specific to L4d2 only and this is the only game that crashes with SourceMod/MetaMod, and it JUST got updated a few minutes ago, that Valve updated something that screwed up this file in MM. And also that this is probably a crucial file to the operation of MM and SM.
MM and SM were working before the update, and this is the only file that crashes L4d2.
MM and SM are still working in other games.

So is there any way to fix this in the meantime? Is this just me?

Can confirm: Linux dedi

#Console initialized.
#Game.dll loaded for "Left 4 Dead 2"
Server is hibernating
ConVarRef test_progression_loop doesn't point to an existing ConVar
Parent cvar in server.dll not allowed (spit_scaling_min_scale)
Failed to load plugin "../left4dead2/addons/metamod/bin/server_linux.so"

It never rains but it pours!

Re: L4D2 Crashes on Startup
 
Just to let you all know i rent my server from e frag and they have the updated metamod this is what they said.....

A new patch was released this morning and is now on the core. Just tested on a fresh install and then added sourcemod to it. Running ok here.

Give your servers a resync and then restart. You should now find they come online http://www.e-frag.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif
