crasx March 5, 2016 Share crasx GC Alumni March 5, 2016 Hey l4d-ers, I need some input I see that our l4d2 servers crash a couple of times a day and it's something I was hoping to resolve with a server upgrade. I had some great debugging software on our servers that told me what caused each crash so I could narrow it down to a plugin if needed. Unfortunately all of the recent crash dumps do not lead to any plugin and are not very helpful. The dumps all show the server crashing at the same internal c++ function, but don't show what causes that function to be called and in what context. I was assuming it would resolve itself with upgraded mod software. While I was testing last night the server crashed on me and the dump showed it happening in the same function call... but... It happened when I closed the saferoom door. Now, there is no such thing as a random crash. Computers do exactly what you tell them to do even if it is totally illogical and wrong. It takes in your instructions and does exactly what you tell it to do. Even a random number is not totally random. So what I want to know is, if you have been on during crashes, what has taken place right before your crash? Was it the saferoom door closing? Was it a checkpoint? Was it a SI being killed? I need your help on this one Thx, and I hope to make your games more enjoyable 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlock March 6, 2016 Share Deadlock Member March 6, 2016 When i'm on it typically happens after the saferoom closes or as its loading the next chapter or map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing I saw was a charger charging the first surv. Edited March 6, 2016 by Meng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos March 6, 2016 Share Carlos Member March 6, 2016 (edited) I think this was a different game, but we were playing No Mercy Jackie's Pathing on Server 2. It crashed around 11:30 EST at the beginning of the third chapter on the first round. The last key moments I remember were the other team surviving our spit attacks and barely passing that first alley outside the safe room, and one of my teammates landing a high pounce on one of the survivors.

heroman758 March 26, 2016 Share heroman758 Member March 26, 2016 Could a possible thing causing crashes is the buy system being flooded? Say like 4 or 5 people buy a heal at almost the exact same time, while infected are doing things like upping a limit might overwhelm the server?
