Looks like today's L4D update rendered Sourcemod unusable again.. servers don't start until you disable Sourcemod.

...or maybe not... our servers weren't starting after the update, so I assumed that was the problem, but now, even with it disabled, they aren't starting.

Yeah its defo broken buts its not Sourcemod or Metamod Source thats caused the problem on my Server.

Same error happens even as a vanilla Server

As soon as i start the srcds it instantly crashes with this error

 
could not load library matchmaking

Heres guessing that there will be the usual unannounced 2nd update in a bit.

Valve make great games but their updating truly sucks. Cant remember the last time a valve update didnt break anything.

People need to stop jumping to conclusions that Sourcemod/Metamod:Source/etc. are breaking their servers. After a recent TF2 update that had a similar issue, people were even assuming SM/MMS would break after every subsequent update, posting topics claiming it broke or asking if it broke when there was no issue whatsoever.

This is, by far, not the first time a stock version of srcds has had trouble starting after an update. In the event that something in SM/MMS does need to be tweaked, the team here has shown that they are quick to address confirmed issues.

I'm sure that most of the problems with servers not working after an update is the result of Sourcemod or Metamod Source having a problem. In this case, though. It does not appear to be the problem.

If by "Sourcemod or Metamod" you mean 3rd-party SM plugin X or 3rd-party SM Extension Y, then yes, but a stock install of SM has not often had issues, especially not server startup issues, after a server update.

Its nothing to do with Smod or MMS. It is unfair to blame them without even checking.

There has just been another Server Update Like is said Guys,

They still havent fixed it though LoL.

Made it worse in fact. Doesnt even find the console now and puts this error up

 
failed to load the launcher DLL
The specified module could not be found

Standby for another unnanounced update shortly.

Can we lock or delete this thread? It's obviously not needed now.

I would say that people do need to know that there have been further updates so they can update their servers again before blaming smod etc.

There will be more updates shortly as they still havent fixed the problem.

I will post here when its fixed with further updates if the thread still exists.
