SRCDS Engine Error

Post by Evil Metro »

Hello. I keep getting the following error whenever I have a good number of people on my Garry's Mod server, and it's getting really frustrating as it crashes the server and causes the server to lose players. I have an auto-restart batch file for SRCDS to restart on its own when it crashes, but it doesn't work for this specific error and it has been occurring more recently.

This is the error I get: http://puu.sh/5ZFRq.jpg

Can someone help me? Is there a way to make the server restart after that error happens? I'm also thinking about upgrading my VPS cores from duel-core to quad-core, will that eliminate the problem?

You should add -nocrashdialog to your command line to avoid the dialog. To restart the server when it crashes, you should use Firedaemon, a batch file, or a similar wrapper (but it sounds like you may already be doing this). Firedaemon has an option to close dialog boxes, which you might find useful if it still pops up with -nocrashdialog.

To avoid the problem in the first place, you should look into ways of limiting the number of models that your players are allowed to spawn, so that you don't hit the built-in engine limit.
