Re: [hlds] Possible cause and fix for the recent group crashes

We run a Saxton Hale server and a lot of client crashes and some server crashes point in the direction of custom player models. In particular it seems to happen when a player with a custom model dies on the client, while I'm not quite sure on the server. I'm also rather scared of the bone setup

No, the random drops of clients isn't related to this. If there is such exploit, it's a separate issue. Not everyone crashes off on our servers when the crash event occurs. Sometimes they all do crash though. -ics 5.3.2012 17:16, Ken Bateman kirjoitti: On Mon, Mar 5, 2012 at 2:51 AM,

Yep - been seeing this more lately. 12-15 players all crash at once, with no discernible cause. At this point, I think it's an engine/steam issue, but who knows - there could very well be another exploit in the wild. Hopefully, the TF2 team is aware and tracking down a cause. On Mon, Mar 5, 2012

For what it's worth, if this helps... I have noticed that my Linux servers have this crashing issue whereas my Windows server does not. Also, I just recently got around to updating SM from 1.4.0 to 1.4.1. Once I did this, the crashes increased by 10 fold and I was forced to downgrade back to
