Left 4 Dead Servers - Crashing Randomly?

[trancemode]

Hey,

 

I was wondering if anyone has any left 4 dead servers on windows

using source mod & metamod on their server

 

I been having some randomly crashes throughout the game.

 

I heard the game been happening like this lately.

 

I have updated the snapshot and metamod snapshot

 

sourcemod is latest version of 1.23

and metamod is latest of 1.7.1

 

anyone else experiencing this and would like to give a way to either fix the crash?

 

thanks.

[trancemode]

Right now im gonna stop all plugins and mods and test it out. im thinking this game is broken with sourcemod / metamod.

[trancemode]

During Vanilla, while testing it..

it seems like

it crashed as well with nothing changed in server.cfg, no source mod nor metamod.

 

But it crashed later..

however i did change the setting to versus mode and spawn a hunter throughout the map

 

 

also im running on th left 4 dead apartment 01 map.

[trancemode]

it also seems like there no .mdmps files under the left 4 dead folder.

weird, i got absolutely no crash with l4D + metamod 1.7.1 and sourcemod 1.2.3

 

Did you try to run the server manually with a bat to see in live whats the error message?

[trancemode]

Nope, I will try that out.

 

Is there any settings or such as server.cfg that you have changed or any plugins you have installed?

 

or just source mod + metamod?

 

thanks.

Did you try reinstalling it? Post your command line here, and do -verify_all as well.

I am running 6 or 7 with the SM & MM and I only have trouble with one of them due to the customer constantly fiddling with it.

Yes,

I did reinstall it.

 

command line:

-game left4dead -console +ip -port 27017 +maxplayers 8 +exec server.cfg +map l4d_vs_hospital01_apartment

 

*the ip isn't missing* its there i just delete it.

 

try -verify_all in command line?

like what? what is he doing?

[GodFather]

Yes in the command line.

 

He's probably fiddling with the files screwing them up and it's causing a lot of errors thus crashing the server. He is probably one of those kids that have a megabyte worth of error logs lol.

Yes in the command line.

Welcome to the world of being a GSP

[trancemode]

I am not sure.

 

I am running other L4D servers and they run great.

 

I am just not sure if its sourcemod or maybe you are right, tons of editing and cheat commands in rcon and spamming non stop? im nto sure.

If your client allows you to do your maintenance and see what's going on. I can provide you with some checks that you should do. I'm very experienced with SourceMod and MetaMod... Usually it's either a outdated SourceMod, or the new version could have broke something... 90% of the time it's a certain plugin that breaks it. If they are running it for CEVO with the plugin (Ready Up I think) then that's can be it

[trancemode]

yep they are running readyup. im thinking its the cevo readyup.

 

im gonna try the 1.3.0 beta sourcemod thanks.

[trancemode]

okay, well now im trying

 

Metamod:Source version 1.7.1

SourceMod Version: 1.3.0-dev

 

Plugins:

Cevo

Competitive

 

Some how, it still crashes. im not sure if its the stats reporting error of steam? or score?

[GodFather]

Have them disable the Cevo Ready up and go to sourcemod and have them use that ready up plugin instead. I believe they are different. See if that fixes it.

[nhouck]

I get the same issues with users who run cevo readyup, they complain the server crashes. It has been like this ever since the readyup mod was released. Odd thing is some people don't complain, I don't know if they have it installed but don't use it much or what.

[trancemode]

hm... so im guessing it has to be a memory error with Valve's DDLs that is inflicting with the cevo ready up mod?
