srcds random freezing/crashing...
#1
whats up guys, got a small problem. my DS runs fine for the most part, but it seems like it always randomly crashes on me (freezes up my whole system and have to manually reboot).

i am running the server from my desktop computer with an amd64 3000+, 1gb ddr ram, ati radeon 8500le vid card, win xp pro, 10mbit cable connection. i have mani admin 1.2 installed, es_zombiehorde 1.2b, and also es tools, sourcemm, mattie eventscrips (all required for ZH).

everything seems to load up fine, no errors except a couple msg's saying a few materials not found. everything is config'd properly.

normally when i start the server, it will run around 250fps, until it freezes up and crashes (seems random most of the time), then when i go to run it again it will be capped at 64fps.. whats the deal with that? in my games its only me plus 1-3 other human players, and anywhere up to 15 bots. at first i thought it might be my friends connecting making it unstable (they all connected at the same time once and crashed it. and another time my friends steam crashed and also crashed my server).

last night i got an error msg from the server console, screen shot attached below.. any ideas what that means? maybe it could solve my system freezing problems. also is there a log file somewhere that i could check out?

any/all help is appreciated. thanks!

It's a plugin error, remove all the plugins from the server and add them one by one (or the other way around) to see which ones making the server crash.

you could also use a auto-restarter. (had the same prollem) and i just installed Serverdoc and am awaiting results. It has a good reputation and looks solid. might wanna give it a look

ServerDoc works very well, I've used it a while ago. But after some time I figured it would be better to just fix the errors instead of restarting the server every 20 minutes Toungue
