My L4D2 server no longer runs. SRCDS crashes leaving log files...
 
1 Attachment(s)
At some point over the last month or two, my L4D2 server stopped working on my PC at home. If I run it I get (see attached).



In my "D:\L4D2Server\left4dead2" folder on every run I get a file along the lines of:-
srcds_806292_crash_2010_9_16T10_5_53C0.mdmp

How do I work out what's at fault and what to fix?



If I change my command line from:-
D:\L4D2Server\left4dead2\srcds.exe -console -game left4dead2 +ip "93.96.122.186" +hostport 27020 +"map" c5m1_waterfront.bsp

To instead just:-
D:\L4D2Server\left4dead2\srcds.exe -console -game left4dead2 +ip "93.96.122.186" +hostport 27020

The server loads up, but I can't connect to it (it times out), and if I issue the console command "map c5m1_waterfront.bsp" it dies!

I've done a fresh install, and that runs OK, so it's clearly something to do with the original install that a Valve update has stuffed.

What's odd is during the running of the console, before it bombs out, it talks about 18 players, but my config (designed to allow 5 of us to play) doesn't specify 18 players? Could this be a hint of the problem?

Also, if I take the map out of the startup line, the console starts fine. But the moment I issue a map command in the console, it dies?

Code:

hostname "Neils Server"

// Rcon Cvars
rcon_password "XXXXXXXXX" //Sets remote control password


// Do not connect to the Match Making Service
// "0" = Off
// "1" = On
// sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1


// Server Cvars
mp_disable_autokick 1 //Prevents a userid from being auto-kicked
sv_allow_wait_command 0 //Allow or disallow the wait command on clients connected to this server.
sv_alltalk 0 //Players can hear all other players, no team restrictions
sv_alternateticks 0 //If set, server only simulates entities on even numbered ticks.
sv_clearhinthistory 0 //Clear memory of server side hints displayed to the player.
sv_consistency 1 //Whether the server enforces file consistency for critical files
sv_contact "[email protected]" //Contact email for server sysop
sv_downloadurl "" //Location from which clients can download missing files

// Lan or internet play, Server region cvars
// sv_lan 0 //If set to 1,Server is a lan server ( no heartbeat, no authentication, no non-class C addresses )
// Region Codes 0 US East coast  1  US West coast  2  South America  3  Europe  4 Asia  5 Australia  6 Middle East  7 Africa  255 world
sv_region 3

// Server Logging
sv_log_onefile 0 //Log server information to only one file.
sv_logbans 1 //Log server bans in the server logs.
sv_logecho 0 //Echo log information to the console.
sv_logfile 1 //Log server information in the log file.

//sv_logflush 0 //Flush the log file to disk on each write (slow).
//Folder in the game directory where server logs will be stored.
sv_logsdir "logs"

// Rate Settings
sv_minrate 20000
sv_maxrate 30000

//Server Rates
sv_maxcmdrate 100 //(If sv_mincmdrate is > 0), this sets the maximum value for cl_cmdrate.
sv_unlag 1
sv_maxunlag .5


sm_cvar survivor_limit 5 //5

sm_cvar z_max_player_zombies 5
sv_maxplayers 5 //5
sv_removehumanlimit 1
sv_unlock_sb_add 1
sv_force_unreserved 1


Is there way of better diagnosing the cause?

Has Metamod or SourceMod changed over the past couple of months to resolve a problem?
