It's well known that the forward "FM_GetGameDescription" seems to cause problems/crashes. Well, with Orpheu not anymore. A *very* quick and tiny plugin.
Put these two CVars into your amxx.cfg / server.cfg or however you usually do it.

You must have this module installed

Code:
amxx_game_name "" - This is the original name of the game (This auto-detects if it's blank, RECOMMENDED to set anyways.
amxx_game_newname "My Game" - The name that the game should be set too.
NOTE:
You must put in "GameName.ini" into your "configs/orpheu/memory" folder.

- Don't use extension. You better provide a package with the file into the right directory.
- PLUGIN_HANDLED does nothing. Just use return.
- Since you use orpheu, why not to try to play with GetCurrentSteamAppName() to get the original gamename instead of hardcoding.

But actually, it's a bad method, because if you provide a new game name with a length > to the original, it will crash.
You better hook the function CGameRules::GetGameDescription() which returns the string.

Redundant, no changes have been made as suggested.

Unapproved.
