The only think I can think of ZR doing wrong that would cause a crash is messing with entity attributes (some of them may have changed behavior or valid values). Otherwise ZR is using extensions and frameworks to do stuff in the engine.

In nearly every case, it's an extension (or it's gamedata file) that needs an update. SourceMod plugins shouldn't be able to crash the engine as long as it's not messing with it directly. If it does, it's a bug in the framework, not the plugin.

For those running on Linux, is it possible to get a stack trace of the engine crash dump (with symbol names)? Then we might have a clue what's causing it.

Hi Richard,

I'll send through shortly, cheers.

A temporary fix for stop the random crashes is downgrade the server version

I made it in my ZE server and no more random crashes

Those are the two crashes I've been getting over the last week since the update. It would appear to be an issue with models and weapons on round restart/infection.

The last CS:GO update is still crashing.

This solution dont work since the today´s update because the update is required...


Ok so since the crashes reason is unknown, I made a new zombie plugin with all the basic functions (infection, respawn, zombie models, etc...) for try to stop the random crashes in my server.

You can test my basic zombie plugin here or here and if someone want it can contact with me. For the moment not more random crashes with my zombie plugin.

Btw, a rare thing is that some zombie servers with the ZR plugin dont have random crashes, may have something to do with the map?

EDIT: no more random crashes with my zombie plugin, seems to be fixed

I'm pretty sure my server has not crashed for a while. It was only crashing because of a knife mod which I removed about 3 weeks ago. I've looked in my dumps folder and nothing is in there

The knife mod published can cause a crashes but I have a different method for give a knife than dont cause crashes and I always used it without crashes


So trust me that the knife mod is not the problem of these random crashes since the 15th-october update

Hi Richard,

Do the above crash dumps give you any hints?

[rhelgeby]

Not much. Only one line far down in the stack trace is from SourceMod, but I think this is a bug in CS: GO.

It's possible that ZR may trigger a bug, but I doubt the bug is in ZR itself since this happened only after an update.

It seems to be related to weapon removal (apparently on spawn). If there's a way to reproduce the crash, it should be possible to see if this is related by disabling anything in ZR that will remove weapons on spawn/infection (ZR does that for zombies at least).
