Tried updating to 1.4.2 now server crashes at map changes

doze · **Author**

Hey,

So guys i need a little help, would be very grateful if you could help me figure out why my HL2DM server is restarting at map changes after i tried to update to SM 1.4.2, let me give you the exact details of what i done:

I was running SM 1.4.1 but decided to update to the latest version, i have made a backup of all the content under hl2mp/addons just in case something goes wrong, i have successfully updated SM to 1.4.2 (checked in console) and the Gamedata content from the latest snapshot, joined the server and tried to change the map but i notice every time i do so the server crashes and restarts.
I thot , eh no big deal i'll just restore my SM 1.4.1 backup but after restoring it the crashing still continues.

Anyone got any ideas why this might be happening ?

Found out that disabling the SourceTV bot resolves the issue, don't know why or how is it related to it but if it is disabled things function as normal.

question.... when you did upgrade,
was server shutdown for that moment or at least MM:S and SM unloaded ??

ok...
Don't know what SM plugins you run and extensions. What other addons beside MM:S and SM.

So, try do this way.
- shutdown server
- download latest released version of MetaMod:Source and replace all files from your server.
- Go your sourcemod plugins folder,
create "new folder" and drag & drop all your plugins.smx in there,
then move your "new folder" with all content in ...plugins/disabled folder.
This way you not run any SM plugins and you find yours current plugins later easier. Can check will this stop server crash.

- Launch server with SourceTV and change map.
- Server didn't crash ? Then next, go your SM ...plugins/disabled/new folder,
Pick all SM base plugins, just type column "date" to order plugins by date and choose plugins what have same dates.
Move them back ...plugins/ section, change map couple times.

Try this far. You could show list SM extensions also, rest addons and/or mods.
