Exclamation  03-30-2009, 01:11 AM
Ok, somebody I know for a fact keeps crashing my Counter Strike: Source server on purpose. I need to know how to prevent it so it does not happen and if it does how to quickly restore it. This is an emergency because I have a lot of players playing at once.

Do you have the logs so we can see which exploit he is using?

1. Update your server.

2. Make sure it's updated.

3. The reason:
Valve had some client commands that will go check if some files exits on the server. If you spam them, the server will crash immediately!

Yes it still works on alot of servers since they haven't been updated yet! Smile

Hehehe. Is it Windows server?

EDIT: Just checked, it is.


Ohh well. The -autoupdate for Windows is broken and do NOT update your server Smile


EDIT: I was on your server. And yes, you will have to update it. I could use those commands Smile (sorry Toungue)

Run the HldsUpdateTool.exe with -verify_all

Do you get the client buffer overflow error? Or does the server crash and restart, please provide more information.
