Hello there. First of all, I apologize if this is not the correct place to post this thread, newly registered and first time posting here. Have been browsing this place for plugins for years however, but not really knowledgeable.
I have been using SM and MM for L4D2 for awhile now and never had any major issues. Most of the time, managed to get it running well but ever since TLS update even now, I have been facing a frustrating issue where game would often crash during gameplay. Despite stated in the title that vphysics.dll is causing it, I can't be real certain to whether it is the real issue. That's just what I got from reading the .mdmp files created by the game when it crashed.
What I do know however, these are the steps I've taken and did before I finally decide to post here to ask for help:-
- On the day TLS update is released, I tried removing SM and MM since I read that they're not compatible or some sort as of yet. Game runs fine. Mods are installed still.
- After waiting and downloading for newer versions of SM/MM, installed it again and play the game with mods still present. Crashed with stated error.
- Decided to delete and install a fresh copy of L4D2. No mods and SM/MM this time, game runs fine.
- Installed and checked used mods one by one and playing the game in case any of them is causing the crash. Game runs fine.
- Installed SM/MM to current latest versions. Also updated used plugins based on newest versions available on respective threads. Mods disabled for now. Game crashes.
- Same as above but this time mods enabled. Game crashes.
When/how did crash happened?
Basically just anytime it wishes. Whether it be by deploying ammo pack, shooting a gun, sometimes killing/shoving an infected. At times when just walking around. I tried playing many times in hope of finding out what's the cause of it but couldn't pinpoint any specific action or event. Perhaps the mdmp files might tell more, I'm not an expert in reading it. One thing for sure I have not able to complete even a single chapter let alone a whole campaign due to this crash.

L [SM] Unable to load plugin "multitanks_a-l4d2.smx": Error detected in plugin startup (see error logs)
The plugins used before and after I decided to install a fresh copy and test are mostly the same. In exception to several few that I found and update, in some cases, delete and use new ones based on the latest builds etc I found in their respective threads.
Additional note, I have not used any extra extensions other than the ones provided by SM. I noticed there's Left 4 Downtown, l4dtoolz or the sort. However as of this posting, I installed 1-2 extension I think as the Multitanks Improved plugin requires them. Before TLS update, I've been using the old one posted by original creator. Despite this, the problem is still the same where the game crashes before and after installation of additional ext. Anyway, this is the ext list

I'm not sure how to upload mdmp files here since it exceeds size limit. I'll upload it somewhere else, sorry if it somehow violates forum rules. Thanks for your time and help. I'm a little clueless as to what to do, what's causing it for certain and how to fix it.
