-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] We run servers with rotations with bots Servers with rotations and no bots Servers with a single map rotation that never use bots Servers with map rotations and bots, crash a lot (multiple times a day) Servers with rotations and no bots crash a lot (multiple times a day) Servers with a single map rotation that never use bots hardly ever crash (Once a day if we are unlucky) What I mean to say is this, I can reboot a server clean and bots are never introduced to the server (we add them manually with a simple script we can run on a per server basis if required, like when you have 2 identical servers and 1 is full with players lined up trying to get in whilst the other remains empty all because CS players are too scared to join an empty server) and the server will crash at some random time, usually at map change, and usually with 3 bars showing on the client connect screen. I have sent mini dumps to Valve, but so far no response as to what information they have gleaned from them to tell us what is causing the problem.
