I have disabled the Restriction version ran by the wcs mod. This is the version that the races use ( thanks for the idea ds)

The one that's ran with SS is a keeper, cause that one takes care of map restrictions like in awp maps ( awp only ). That mod has been tested over and over again by others, so i hope that one isn't the partycrasher.

EDIT : * Ds check your pm's
* I'll disable the weapon restrictions from SS later tonight. See if the server crashes from now till then. After i've disabled the SS version, we'll check again... What a job

server is up for over 2 hours and a half now, that's a record from the recent days.

edit: crash at 14:18 GMT

timeleft, nextmap and those kind of things dont seem to be wrkin, rtv is. time: 15:41

heads up, SS restrictions now dissabled.

EDIT: just had a lagg spike for 30 secs, game resumed for 10 sec and then crashed. This points towards an overload ?

Day is almost over.
My personal oppion is that the crashes did reduce, but didn't completely disappear.
Server votes tell me that the amount stayed the same...

We'll keep trying to work on other things ( effects, complementary mods etc ) and hopefully come to a solution

Thanks for the comprehension

Yeah, I'm waiting on a message back from Tunes, then I'll investigate other WCS servers to see if we can compare.

The server is hosted on a dedicated server and the specs are: E6600 2 x 2.4-2GB-Raptor10k.

It should certainly be sufficient for the purposes. We had a beast before and I believe the crashes were still happening. We are (as I write this) utilising around 33% of the server cpu and 800mb of the 2 gig memory. I'll keep an eye when the server is full though.

My gut instinct is that the mod itself, or a combination of plugins, will be the cause. We've removed a number tonight for testing in hopes that we can eliminate the issue. WCS is a very complex mod with lots happening. We are also running SourceMod in tandem with Eventscripts. It might be worth disabling SourceMod for a day purely for ruling out purposes? We'd lose in-game admin but it would eliminate a large 'grey-area'?

We could also disable some of the other servers for a day to see if this helps?

have you tried running it on empty server and see if it crashes? (or maybe with bots)

Thanks for the idea's guys.

I like the idea to disable sourcemod for a day, some admins got rcon, so we'd still be able to admin it. That way we could indeed rule out a big possible cause.

Cheers
