Re: [hlcoders] Weird STV crash on windows servers

You may need to double check that any plugins you have running are still being loaded with -allowdebug turned on (I think it forces the server to only load debug builds of plugins, not release builds). Your error may still be occurring but less obvious because of the debug build of your plugin/s.
