Anyone able to shed any light on the following crash errors since the MvM update?

Code:

Engine error: Host_Error: Overflow error writing string table baseline GameRulesCreation

or

Code:

Engine error: Host_Error: Overflow error writing string table baseline ServerMapCycle

or

Code:

Engine error: Host_Error: Overflow error writing string table baseline Scenes

Seeing those as well on windows 2008R2 serves running the latest SM snapshot.

Yeah i have already had 3 crashes with them errors too. It doesnt appear to be related to SM. There are people talking about it on the mailinglist too.

I've had the same issues on all four of my servers as well, hosted on linux and using the latest snapshot of sourcemod (1.4.5-hg-3537). In addition to the errors you mentioned, I've had the following as well:

Engine error: Host_Error: Overflow error writing string table baseline ServerPopFiles
Engine error: Host_Error: Overflow error writing string table baseline ServerMapCycleMvM

I agree with the above, it doesn't seem to be a problem with sourcemod. Let's hope valve fixes these issues soon. My servers have been crashing at seemingly random intervals of every 1 to 4 hours.

Any solution?

So far, this seems to be a problem on Valve's end.

Hopefully they update a fix.

Same here mate.

Today I disabled sourcemod and no crashes

Unfortunately I cannot disable Sourcemod on our servers, as the maps are pretty much powered by plugins we have created. Hoping this problem can be resolved soon though!

The latest snapshot of SM is fine and there is no need to disable it. Valve have acknowledged the engine overflow crash problems via hlds mailing list and have said that they will be releasing a fix for it sometime today aswell as various other bug fixes.
