Do you have a backtrace? I don't have this error, but I assume is CBaseClient::SendServerInfo -> CNetworkStringTableContainer::WriteBaselines, so the overflow occurs when a client joins.
I see that the buffer used by CBaseClient::SendServerInfo has 96000 bytes. The problem occurs when writing the string tables, but why? Unfortunately the string tables are not the first written out, so it may be something else that requires so much data. The CNetworkStringTableContainer::WriteBaselines should log some data if sv_dumpstringtables and developer are both non zero. See if this helps you to gather more data. Also there are two commands regarding string tables (dumpgamestringtable and dumpstringtables), try them on a test server. Anyway, as I said I don't think the problem is the string tables, probably they are only the "last drop". Note that CNetworkStringTableContainer::WriteBaselines is also called for Replay and STV, but I assume you don't have any enabled. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andreas Grimm Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 3:57 PM To: 'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list' Subject: Re: [hlds] TF2 Engine Error: Host_Error: Overflow ...

We're seeing crashes as well across our normal PvP servers. MvM seems to run pretty stable. This is on Linux though. Haven't captured an error yet.
