Assertion Failed - Problem Solved

[mikeytrw]

Hey guys,

Finally fixed the assertion failed bug.

as previously stated on this forum :

Run the command:
sysctl kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=524288
If this fixes it you may must add kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=524288 to /etc/sysctl.conf so that this value stays set after a reboot.


However this is not applicable to either Ubuntu or hed hat. And no explanation is given - it is to do with setting variables within the system kernel that control the size of socket buffers when TCP or UDP sockets are created. I guess Valve coded srcds on a linux platform that had fairly liberal settings.

For red hat add the following to /etc/sysctl.conf

Code:

net.core.rmem_max = 16777216
  net.core.wmem_max = 16777216
  net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
  net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 65536 16777216

then reboot.

any help needed PM me.

Thanks,

Mike
