Not sure if this is the cause, but I was just in a game and someone decided to exploit something on the Concert map finale. He managed to spawn stacks of grenade launchers.
Everyone's ping then started to go up and everyone began to warp around, I just left the game. I'd suspect he would have sent that server to high CPU usage since everything began to lag and degrade. May or may not be the reason for what you're seeing. - Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joshua Smith Sent: Tuesday, 22 December 2009 4:17 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Crashing L4D2 fork killing entire machine Just wondering if anyone has tracked down a possible cause for this yet? Is it related to setting sched_fifo? whenever this happens there seems to be no logs and being locked out of ssh ive never seen what is actually happening.
