Random Crashes on Player Connect since the recent update 30/09/2010

nOzE · **Author**

Hey Guys,

my Server(s) are crashing randomly since the update

I updated everything i could find so far. If the servers are running everything works fine and without any problems or errors. But it seems if players join the server (not all the time) it crashes!

The latest gamedata files i found here in the forum are on it.

Then why not use "released" version of MMS and SM ?
SourceMod 1.3.4, Metamod:Source 1.8.3 released!

> Releases

If this not help, try unload all plugins expect SM stock plugins and check again will it still crash server.

*edit
We run MMS 1.8.3 and SM 1.3.4 on Linux server and no problems, update works and so on.
Same on my computer Windows 7 where I have installed/using Source Dedicated Server

Tried this already and had it before.

Nothing seems to help, at least it seems i am the only one with this problems...

The bug is likely in one of the plugins you run, you're in for a long haul of debugging.

Okay, I am having major issues aswell.

I have the latest version of both MetaMod and SourceMod running as per the SourceMod site.

I disabled all sourcemod plugins, even the stock ones and it still crashes on player connect.

I tried disabling sourcemod itself and it started working.

In short:

MM + SM + Plugins = crash on join
MM + SM - Plugins = crash on join
MM - SM = working

My server is working again. Made a new install with actual snapshots of SM+MM. Did reinstall nearly all Plugins. Can´t say what the problem was. Only thing which still doesnt work is: "clientprefs.smx" which worked for short time after reinstall but than crashing the server immediate after typing "!settings" in the chat. I could imagine its a performance issue. I am hosting all database on an external Server with mysql and this one has often very heavy load so maybe its not answering fast enough and then some timeout issue occurs. Maybe. But this problem is well known by many other users in the forum here.

You are doing something wrong with the gamedata. This problem had nearly all servers and its fixxed.

I am having the same problem with the linux server we run. The server doesn't necessarily crash, but to the client, it seems like the server crashed. The clients lose connection if I have sourcemod enabled. I have disabled every plugin and it still crashes. The only thing I have found to solve the problem is to disable sourcemod altogether, leaving me without my plugins. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I previously had tf2 equipment manager installed. I thought I had deleted all the files when I was looking through the gamedata folder to check out a bad txt and found a file for the equipment manager in there. I deleted that file and now the server works properly.
