CSS server crashing with same error

[canogiga]

So since the steam update the most recent one Im haveing a problem with my servers. They will crash at random, sometimes it will crash when someone disconnects or just random. I get the following error every time:
any suggestions, oh it didnt do this untill the update took place

[Edge100x]

We've been hearing some other reports of crashes from customers following the most recent CS:S update and our suspicion is that there might be a fresh bug in the game that is causing these. If so, we'll need to get as much information on the problem as possible and forward it to Valve.

To rule out plugins, could you try disabling them temporarily?

it did crash one of ower scrim servers that had no mod what so ever, vanilla server, it crashed when some player disconnected and popped up with the above error. So far it has been crashing ower surf server and climb server the most, So far ower gungame i have not seen it go down once and its be maxed out all day.
all ower servers, except scrim servers, have:

Kac anti cheat
source mod 1.3.4-dev
mm:source 1.8.2
then basic plugins that come with source mod.

Most of the crashs that i have see today have been mostly when a player disconnect, once or twice i have seen just randoms.

We were getting this on our hosted server as well. We just switched to our dedicated box and I got the same thing so I installed KAC and Rcon Lock and it went away.

From what I saw they sit there and spam radio commands in some fashion and it crashes the server. KAC caught this after I installed it and started banning.

That was everything he did before he got autobanned by KAC. Earlier in the night someone crashed our server doing the exact same thing but I didn't have KAC installed to log it. Someone reported that there was a ton of radio commands and then a server crash.

My Kac_Status

Client Module: On
Client Anti-Rejoin: Off
Client Name Protection: On
CVars Detection: On
Eye Test Disabled
Anti-Wallhack: Disabled
Network: On
RCON Crash Prevention: Off

[canogiga]

hmm those setting are the same as mine and i have rcon lock that didnt help, what i dont get is ower gungame server has not crashed at all, the only diff is its running source mod 1.4.0-dev
and the rest of servers are running
1.3.4-dev
1.3.5-dev

so i will update all servers to this and see if it helps. like my pub and climb server crash at the same time. This is mind boggling, i just disable all mods on ower pub to see if its one of the plug ins.
i will also turn on kac cmd logs and see what it is picking up

[RyanR]

What version of KAC?

[Edge100x]

Also of note is that Valve says crashdumps are not being created because a support .dll was forgotten in the distribution. They should be releasing a new version soon to fix this, at which point we should be able to get better data on what's going on. (Hopefully they fix the crash at the same time, too.)

[canogiga]

1.2.1.2 kac version

[canogiga]

well so far no crashes i update all servers to sourcemod 1.4-dev

[canogiga]

nvm it crashed

[smeikle]

Are any of you using bots on your servers? I only ask because bots are annoying when it comes to radio commands (which can be turned off, but some don't realize this) and if radio commands are triggering server crashes, they can be the cause of the recent probs.

I have not noticed any issues on my server, although I cannot be used as a reliable sample base simply because my server hasn't really been populated (with people) yet.

Also of note is that Valve says crashdumps are not being created because a support .dll was forgotten in the distribution.

Hmm...beginning to think Valve and Blizzard share the same techies since they both seem to fail at updates....

(Hopefully they fix the crash at the same time, too.)

Fingers are crossed!

[canogiga]

is there a way i can disable radio cmds on all servers to test that therory out,
casue most of the server restarts and crashes are from just connecting and just disconnecting, but i cant figure it out ower gun game has not crash at all and its running the same plugins
