Dedicated Server lua crash?

Post by nickbg7n1234 »

Hello, im having a problem where my Dedicated Server keeps crashing. When it does crash it says:
GetLuaTable != TABLE! Type is: 21

Here is a screenshot of the box that pops up: https://gyazo.com/17ddef20eb9fee06abae62e4d45bbb30

This happens every now and then, i tried looking up some solutions but i can not find one.

Thank you in advance for your help!

That moment when people realize command prompts inside windows server is a horrible way to host. And that the Windows GUI is a pig on resources which put in buffers and caches instead. :lol:

This is a lua error, which the game engine is not throwing or catching properly. You should try to resolve it, and report the issue as a game bug because a server crash should never happen with good coding practices.

You have two issues however.

1. The actual error within the gamemode or plugin code on your server.

2. The server is not started with "-nocrashdialog". And there may not be an autorestart script/feature. When your server crashes like this, it will stay stalled indefinitely until user intervention happens. Instead of gratefully starting back up again.
