Applied 12 April 2018 TF2 update. Server works, but..... console is now filled with constant spam of things like:

0.000188
0.000188
0.000375
0.000375
0.000375
0.000375

I performed a sm plugins unload_all command and the issue persists. I change maps and the issue persists. Any ideas on how to eliminate the spam?

Sourcemod verison: 1.8.0.6040

See this HLDS mailing list thing.

Heads up, you left your debug prints in when a player is healed. It can produce quite some spam in the server console.

Grab the console cleaner and add the following to the config as a quick fix:

0.000
0.001125
0.001238

No blank line at the end, otherwise the extension treats every output as a match and you'll see nothing.

Edit: I had a go at checking this out in IDA and attempting to write a plugin-based patch for it. Found the call really quickly since the string "%0.6f\n" only shows up once.

Linux only gamedata, no sanity checks other than verifying a call op is present at that offset, requires 1.9+ due to some new gamedata offset functionality that I don't feel like backporting, I've never done anything with assembly or Windows sigscanning until when I wrote this. But if you want to still try it out, here's the plugin and accompanying gamedata.

Edit: Added a Windows sig that seems to work.

An optional update was just released to fix this issue.

Unfortunately, not all GSPs will install optional updates unless you explicitly ask for it.

Same way you apply any other update to TF2, including the update that caused the issue.
