I'm also seeing crashing but I'm not sure this plugin is doing much. I'd like to hear the feedback from others as well on if they're seeing the same crashes I am.
I have several servers over many boxes and it not all of them are displaying the same behavior, which leads me to believe it's hardware-based/load/configuration/admin mods/etc etc. Any other thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Arg!
