Since the new update, I have been experiencing more than the usual number of srcds crashes. I suspect an addon - possibly mani or statsme minimum (these are the only two I run).
I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a recent increase in server crashes? Looking at my logs, this seems to happen on a map change. The game play log for the ending map closes correctly. The "loading map" log is created and closed correctly. The game play log for the next level is opened - but the server crashes before things get started. Also, I am interested in which version combinations of Mani and StatsMe minimum that folks are using who have reasonably stable servers, since the new upgrade. <rant> I am not a server guy, my thing is writing code. While I am grateful for the great addons and mods that are available, I am always puzzled that their developers don't wrap their code in decent exception handling and dump a simple message to the application or system log when their dll's are about to puke. It would be SO nice to look in the event log and see something like: "LameMod v2.3 unhandled My_Oopsie exception". Then, instead of the whole guessing and trial and error thing, we might be able to isolate the source of problems a hell of a lot quicker. Hell, if the developer is creative in their exception logging, it can even *gasp* help them find bugs!" Just sayin'... </rant> Frazer _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
