GunGame 5 Forums

Hello

We got a huge problem with our Gungame5 Server. It randomly crashes with the following report line:

Feb 17 00:06:56 R14573 kernel: srcds_i686[9924]: segfault at 0 ip b5f8b30b sp bfcb65e0 error 4 in server_i486.so[b5708000+af2000]

This happens, without any obvious reason.

- The Server can be full or empty, that doesnt matter
- It crashes nearly after a reboot or after some hours
- sometimes it doesnt happen for a week - then six times a day
- theres no special event on the Server, it just happens

We really tried everything to find out, whats the problem:

- We disabled most of all Plugins randomly
- We replaced most of all gungame functions by using sourcemod plugins
- we rebooted that Server 2 times a day to help against the memory leak (although it never crashed due to memory problems)
- we checked the RAM with different stress tests
- we even changed our host last time, cause we thaught "new Kernel - no more problems".

That all didn´t help..................

We also got two other Servers (Public & Deathmatch) and this NEVER happens on those Servers, although we use most of the same SM Plugins and
Eventscripts on them. Even at our previous host those two Servers ran fine.

So (even it describes itself as a Kernel Error) it seems to be a Gungame5 Problem imo.

Again: THIS DOESNT HAPPEN ON THE OTHER SERVERS

I´ve searched for this issue everywhere, but besides the Memory Leak Issue it seems that this Problem is not known anywhere. So i hope someone can help us here. I already described that Problem in many other Boards and now i dont know, where to ask else.

Here´s my SM Plugin List, if needed.

SourceMod v1.3.1 (those crashes also happened two SM Versions before)
SteamBans SouRCe v4.0.0
spe_package for respawn fix

Does no one of the Gungame Developers here have any idea?

This is hard...

I´m pretty sure that this is a gungame Bug and nobody else in any other Board has a clue what to do else. We host CSS Servers since eight years now and i´ve never had a problem without any solution like this before.

I would suggest maybe switching one of the other servers to Gungame and this one to whatever the other one was and see if it follows GG or the server. We have a lot of servers running GG and they don't have this problem.

I do know running 33 SM plugins has to be a little taxing.

It surely would follow the GG mod. As i mentioned in my first post, we even changed our host last time, and we got the same weird crash at our new host. May i ask, which plugins and Scripts you use on your Servers (ES; Admin Plugin, Plugin List)?

Does nobody else have these Kernel Crashes? I cant imagine that.

Our Gungame Konfiguration is not so special that you could say: "That´s it".

This is really weird.
