Server Crash On Map Change

Post by NukaColaBomb »

Hello, I seem to be having a recent and serious issue with my server. Upon the Team Fortress 2 update on 10/17, every time my server changes map it crashes. This is not being caused by an outdated sourcemod, Metamod, SDKHooks, or plugins. I have attempted to run the server with no plugins once-so-ever, but upon map change I am presented with a crash. This may be directly related to the issue I have with HLDS updater, it is possible my server is not fully updated, as I update weirdly. Upon using HLDS Update Tool, it creates a folder called "tf" with Orangebox and HL2 inside of it. Issue being, the "tf" folder is actually inside the orangebox folder, so I can never actually get it to automatically update, because no matter where I set it, it will create an incorrect folder or add a folder to a wrong location. Instead, I have been allowing it to update, and then I move the files to the appropriate places. I attempted this twice, so I assume it did fully update at one point. Although, it is a possibility something went wrong. Any help you could appreciate would be great, thanks!

(Side Note: The HLDS Updater issue is not really something that bugs me, just the fact that my server crashes on map change.)

What directory structure are you using, and what is the full command line for the hldsupdatetool invocation?

I believe after actually taking some more time into it that I managed to fix that issue, however my directory structure is: C:\Game installs\sourcebase\orangebox

So, taking into account that everything should be fully updated now, the server map crash gives an error notice whenever the crash happens:

(**********'s TF2 Server: srcds.exe - Application Error

The exception unknown software exception (0xc0000005) occurred in the application at location 0x0f211798. Click on OK to terminate the program
