And the difference of todays crashes are? 70% of all my crashes for hlds happens at client connect. All these crashes started once valve decided to throw in threading support. And getting up to 40-60 crashes per day spread on 8 servers isnt good... especially since they get restarted 0600 as a workaround if there are any memory leaks.
Setting a roof for memory usage isnt bad practice at all. Its better to let the leaking process crash before it hogs the system. /Bjorn On Sun, 8 Jan 2006, Stan Bubrouski wrote: > If there is a memory leak, there is a memory leak.
