HLDS update today, servers crashing even worse

(Busterking) #1

My servers use to stay up for a few hours, now not even an hour and they crash.

Is there anyone looking into this mess?

Our GSP has also been having problems with servers. Since the 10th we’ve been unable to have a pleasant gaming experience because of the crashing.

We are receiving the message:
FATAL ERROR: AllocRenderModel called from a different thread for ‘models/items/syringe/world/syringe_held.staticmodel’

This occurs at random, anywhere from 5 minutes after a restart to 30-45 minutes.

We’ve tried a ton of different server.cfg, no bots, no hijacking and so forth but still we receive the same message.

I cant even get 2 mins out of my server. Wish I knew how these other servers were up. Clearly it’s not alot that did get um going, but still some are.

My server has not crashed at all from what I’ve noticed, whether it be yesterday or today (yes, I’ve updated). Since my server is only running one gametype and is not “hijackable” I run all the commands from the server.cfg instead of having the server run another cfg.

Some of it is a bit messy but as I have stated the server has not crashed for 3 hours, and I didn’t have it crash yesterday either.

Please note again that my server is not “hijackable” nor does it run more than one game mode, so thus is why I have the gamemode config turned off. Not sure if this is the “proper” way to do it, but it’s working for me, so I can’t complain.

Quick edit: If you’re using hldsupdatetool, you can also try doing a -verify_all at the end of the update command to make the tool verify all your files to make sure there’s nothing corrupt in your download.
