Bugzilla – Bug 3596
All plugins fail to load on mapchange even with latest hlds update!
Last modified: 2013-06-17 17:04:41 PDT
Since migrating from amxmodx 1.75 to the 1.8.x branch I started noticing that each one of my servers would totally fail to load their plugins on mapchange after a couple of days uptime. When this bug occurs absolutely ALL plugins fail to load and stay that way after mapchange, restart, etc. In fact the only way to get them loading again is to "rcon quit" and start the server again! After a lot of research I found a way to reproduce it somewhat shortly, it seems to be dependant on number of mapchanges the server did, so I ran a server with mp_timelimit 1 and voila, it occurs overnight! Did a lot of testing on various systems (dual quad xeons and c2d e6400 at home) with both XP Pro 32bit and 64bit: fresh hlds (empty directory, hldsupdatetool -command update -game cstrike -verify_all) with amxmodx official 1.8.0&1.8.1 (clean via Installer) and the latest SVN trunk, also tested with metamod 1.19 and metamod-p 1.19p32 Sadly this bug occurs in ALL of them. It seems to be a problem with the win32 version of amxmodx because on linux everything is fine. To summarize: XP 32 or 64, latest hlds, clean amxmodx 1.8.x official or SVN, and after 500-1200 mapchanges ALL plugins will fail to load with no way to get them loading again until hlds is quit/killed!
This problem is described in bugreport 3957: https://bugs.alliedmods.net/show_bug.cgi?id=3957 And it is assigned to be fixed. Solution is also in that bugreport, so you can fix it by your self.
