Thanks for the tip on the crashdump - trying that now to see if it isolates things a bit better. As to "predicting where the bugs are gonna happen" - the whole point of wrapping ALL non-trivial blocks of code in error-reporting exception handling is exactly that "we" don't know where the bugs are :)

That can be debugged in VS.net ( Off course your gonnna be limited in the information that's shown without the pdb files) or sends to the plugin developer. I'm sure "we" could start adding a bite more error handlig code, the problem is predicting where the bugs are gonna happen :) Want a Basic Admin Tool for your Source server? http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=343034 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Frazer Sent: 2. juli 2006 02:48 To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] srcds Crashing Woes Thanks - already running on Windows Server 2003. I suspect the issue is addons and suspect statsme, versus mani. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Ottalini Sent: Saturday, July 01, 2006 8:55 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] srcds Crashing Woes Frazer, As a baseline for you, I just moved both of my game servers over to a datacenter to a Server2003 box and they have been totally crash free since the update ... and as you might guess ...for the HL2DM server I don't use any server addons at all. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frazer" To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Saturday, July 01, 2006 4:31 PM Subject: [hlds] srcds Crashing Woes > Since the new update, I have been experiencing more than the usual > number of srcds crashes.
