Random Crashes: HLDS & SRCDS

[xpservers]

Wondering if anyone is experiencing random crash symptoms for srcds and hlds servers on a Windows 2008 Server platform. I took a look at my event viewer the other day and there were quite a few crashes across all 5 (all i have running on the box) srcds and hlds servers.

 

going into the game directory I notice crash minidumps and I analyzed them. This is what I came up with:

One SRCDS server is running 1000FPS, the others are 550fps. The crashing srcds server is only running zblock mod. This is not a map issue. Just wondering if anyone else had these issues because its becoming annoying.

 

thanks

yeah i been having a problem with some too.

with the source update.

The updates the other day broke almost every mod. Reinstall without MODs until the modmakers update there builds.
