It is rare to have to do anything.

Unless the plugin uses orpheu/okapi/rage and doesn't have signatures for both linux and windows or deals with one of the few tricky functions which are removed in one binary but not the other.

OP, that's why you should mention what plugin you are talking about.

yeah, that's what i mean.

I've heard about this, and did try doing it but sword animations gone horribly wrong. Also other modes doesn't work.

I have a knife sword plugin that I downloaded somewhere, it works in windows but when I try using it on my online server, it crash for some sort of reason. Did try checking the logs but it doesn't show the reason why it crash. No errors are shown.

Speaking of Rage, I tested it recently and it seems to crash whenever I hook / call a function. About Okapi, it causes segfaults even with non-virtual functions. The only one that seems to work perfect is Orpheu, but it lacks proper vector support. Now, I'm not sure what's wrong with Rage. Either some offsets are wrong in the default files that it comes with or some are hardcoded into it and have wrong values, as the last major update was before the steampipe update if I'm not mistaken, or maybe it was only properly tested on CS and works fine there, but not on other mods ... Who knows?

You should post the source code. How else are we supposed to know what is wrong?
Speaking of offsets, it is possible the plugin has the wrong extra offset for linux but I can't say more without looking at the code.

DarthMan, can you reproduce okapi crashes under windows too? I only managed to get a crash under linux with virtual functions.

Sadly not, not using it anymore tho. But I know that the tfc bugfixes plugin that hlstriker made caused segfaults, and I was told a possible issue could be the Okapi module, as I inspected the code and nothing looked bad.
About Rage, u can just try to hook or call any function on TFC, hlds/rehlds will instantly crash. I have a handler for CBasePlayer::Observer_SetMode.

When does the server crash? Is it just at random or is it on certain events/actions, like you stabbing with a knife, round start, on server launch, etc... It's a really important piece of information for reproducing, understanding and fixing a bug.
