LOL, I knew this would be your answer! It is the same one I arrived at. It is too bad they wont release the source code. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stuart Stegall Sent: Saturday, February 18, 2006 2:00 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: RE: [hlds] Error Boxes Yes I no longer get AVP server crashes.

RE: [hlds] Error Boxes
Hey LDuke, This probably won't answer your actual question, however is interesting as a side note: It appears that ServerChecker can detect when an exception is thrown in SRCDS to a degree, as if the host becomes unresponsive on the TCP port SRCDS is running on, ServerChecker spawns a new process. When I was using ServerChecker, I would login to my server to sometimes find up to 3 or 4 instances of exception dialogs up however ServerChecker would continue to spawn instances of SRCDS, and my server would continue to work. Not ideal, but it is working to a degree. As I said, not a solution, however if you got desperate to find a workaround, you could potentially use a port monitor of some sort that could re-start the service if the TCP port was closed? Maybe...
