SRCDS Crashing with STV

Post by Snpbond »

We've recently ran into a puzzling issue with our srcds installation, when we enable the UGC configs before a match and change levels sourcetv becomes active. Shortly afterwards the CPU usage spikes, the server lags and eventually crashes, our VPS becomes almost totally unresponsive during this time too.

We are hosting 2 srcds servers on a VPS from NFO and hope someone could help us, after setting tv_enabled to 0 the server seemed to work fine so we're thinking that may be the problem. Thoughts?

We may require more memory on the VPS but want to check before we look at upgrading...can't edit but thought I'd toss this in here.

I know that GOTV is broken and uses tons of RAM, and SourceTV may be similar. When you run it, what do you see happen memory-wise in task manager/top?

Ram and CPU pegs in top with the server load up to 17.00 at times and free memory down to around 75mb, we may look at adding more ram or stepping up to the next VPS plan.
