I don;t think this has anything to do with Sourcemod, or I would be seeing the same crashing behavior across all of my servers, and as of right now I have several custom map servers that have not crashed since last night's update - yet my 2Fort, Badwater/Goldrush, and several other Valve payload maps/servers have all crashed several times today with the same error mentioned in my original post.
As mentioned previously, I also ran without sourcemod for almost a full day, and still saw the same crashes, so I think I've eliminated that as the cause (and I think if it WAS sourcemod, their forums would be alight with people posting the same issues). This is either something to do with the changes Valve made to the maps, or all the new particle effects, or both - but the entities are building up the longer a server runs, sending it over the limit with a crash. Help us Obi-Valve-Kenobi....you're our only hope ;-) On Fri, Jul 12, 2013 at 1:10 PM, Aerolite <[email protected]>wrote: > I have been having the same issue, the entities are building up over time > which makes the CPU usage gradually rise till it lags pretty badly. > > If anyone finds a solution please let us all know, I wonder if it's part > of the standard SourceMod and not a third party plugin. > > > On 12/07/2013 14:02, Kyle Sanderson wrote: > >> are we the testers for these products or are there actual testers looking >>> at these things before they are released to the public? >>> >> What Custom, Third-Party SourceMod plugins are you running? >> >> Thanks, >> Kyle. >> >> On Thu, Jul 11, 2013 at 9:58 PM, Valve Monkey <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> same here. sourcemod appears to be the source and cause of the windows >>> servers edict overflowing issues. >>> >>> are we the testers for these products or are there actual testers >>> looking at >>> these things before they are released to the public? >>> >>> ______________________________**__ >>> From: [email protected] >>> To: [email protected] >>> Date: Fri, 12 Jul 2013 00:54:26 -0400 >>> >>> Subject: Re: [hlds] Windows Server 2008R2 crashing issues since update >>> >>> As soon as I removed sourcemod from my windows servers they have been >>> stable >>> and no more edict issues.
