I'm glad to see that this issue has a solution at last though I won't be able to test properly since I only have access to my local dedicated server at the moment and not the game but I hope others will be able to and confirm that it's sorted out.

Thanks Silvers. I'm not sure if the problem is solved. But after I install this patch, multiple special infected spawn at the same time, the game will lag very much, and the player may fall out of the game.

May I ask where to download latest MemoryEx?
I am used to compiling the file, thanks.

I highly doubt this plugin is causing that, makes no sense. Too often people attribute random behavior with things completely unrelated, bad pattern recognition machines.

Well, technically IsValidPointer() is quite time consuming operation if it is done like 100 times per frame.
Also, on linux MemoryEx delays server start for 1 sec., but that's only after server restarting.
I'm working under optimization.

However, I'm curious if returning false result from GetPosAtHeight might cause something @yzybb described.
As I can see, it is get called from ChaseVictim::AvoidNeighbors which is related to behaviour after spawning, not before.

I installed and played server two days, nothing changed without crash.

If the spawning place of the special infected is right near the ladder(For example the first ladder of c10m4), and then 10~15 special infected are spawned at the same time, the server will be very lag, I am sure of this. (My server is built on Windows)
