SRCDS crashing is getting old.

[pwrightfl]

My SRCDS installation of TR2 is crashing with random regularity. It seems random but whatever the cause it really is becoming a nuisance and I can keep the server running length of time.

Specs:

• Debian 64 Squeeze, 6.0.2
  AMD Athlon 64 bit 3400+
  2.9 GByte Memory
  Game -TF2
  12 slots
  10 Bots
  

Startup:
./srcds_run -game tf +map koth_viaduct -ip 0.0.0.0 +maxplayers 12 -pidfile srcds.pid +fps_max 66.67

Here's the error dump:

I've tried using old physics.so trick which helped a bit but still crashes. This has been going on for some time and started after an update several months ago, possibly last year. The box has been rebuilt from Debian 5 to 6 and a fresh SRCDS was download 2 weeks ago. The 2 updates since has not corrected the problem and an increase of memory form 0.9 to 2.9 GBytes didn't fix. I'm leaning to the conclusion that it is the Bot code but I'm having a hard time confirming that. However it was running with 10 to 12 slots of real clients for a good 20 hour stretch.

Does anyone have any clues as to how to nail this bug down or a fix?

Cheers.

Nope. There isn't a fix. If you subscribe to the valve mailinglist you'll see that there are a lot of complaints. The first thing that crashed them is the new weapons for soldier (or so the guys in the mailinglist say).

[CentralFrag]

Try removing any addons and see if a fresh install will run better for you.

[Mike]

It's not going to help. I've tried all options, still crashing.

That is disappointing but what are the hosting sites doing? I can't image that they're restarting their servers every hour.

I'm not having any issues then again I run Windows platforms for the game servers.

[Mike]

The problem is that it's only on Linux the crashing shows.

[pwrightfl]

Windows or punt, huh. Well that stinks. I guess I'll have to find another application to learn the software.

Cheers.
