Subject: [hlds] Application Fatal Error- srcds.exe
Reply-To: [email protected]
Hi List,
We have been struggling with srcds.exe crashing out with a FE. This almost
always happens when we have a lot of people playing and then do a map
change. The error happens 95% of the time when we change maps (using RCON
or
via console). I have logging enabled, however for some reason the logs
don't
have any data in them if the server crashed (0 bytes). Here is the error:
************BEGIN SNIPPET************
srcds.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x00dc2c1a"
referenced memory at "0x119100fc". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
************END SNIPPET**************
The machine(s) exist for only one reason: Run dedicated game servers.
Nothing else is installed on them; not IIS, nor DNS or Mail services.
Nothing.
On the multi-cpu machines we have set the CPU affinity using imagecfg.exe
and bound the server to CPU 0. We also have tried binding to 0/1 as well
as
0/1/2/3/4/5/6/7 (for the quad CPU PowerEdge). NOTE: The variation of
affinity settings is due to us trying to improve the currently terrible
performance of srcds.exe when handling large netcode payloads from GMOD10
(Such performance issues are a whole different topic I'm guessing).
So has anyone resolved this problem yet? I know I'm not the only one as
I've
found many others (via Google) with this issue, however all the leads
turned
up nothing. Can anyone please help us? Below is a short description of our
environment.
Soft:
--------
Binary: srcds.exe (stand-alone dedicated)
OS: Windows 2003 server EE
Game: HL2
Mod: GMOD10
Misc: srcdsfpsbooster, +fps_max 600, -tickrate 66, using a BAT file to
restart on crash and have modified the registry to silence the ErrorMode
popup.
Hard:
--------
CPU: Dual Xeon 3.0Ghz
Ram: 4 GB DDR2
HDD: RAID 0 / SCSI 15k
WAN: 100Mb port on Saavis backbone

We were having similar issues with our 2003 CSS gun game server turning
stats off has fixed 99% of them

My suggestion would be to add a simple amxx plugin to Your public servers
(its no more than 10 lines of code), and warn private servers players via
rcon message until Valve adresses this issue shortly. For more accuracy,
check
http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Valve_Time

I have similar problem. On Windows boosted CS 1.6 server with plenty

30000 chokes even while connecting via LAN. Chokes are not that bad,
rarely above 20, generally below 10, but still quite annoying.
Also I noticed that this is happening when you have more than 6-8
other players around you within some distance. In other words full 20
slots gives more choke to players than full 12 slots server where
choke almost negligible.
And honestly this looks like recently introduced Windows specific
engine problem to me... Do not want to install Linux just to run few
CS 1.6 servers...
