View Full Version : Corrupt maps on server

Is anyone experiencing corrupt maps on their server? The server will run fine for a day or so and then we'll come across another one corrupt. All players are kicked of course with the error that their maps differs from the server.

I then have to run my Hldsupdatetool batch file that includes -verify_all. During this it sometimes finds more than one corrupt map. Once this is done I restart the CS:S server and all is fine for awhile longer.

Server specs..

(2) AMD Opteron 246 CPUs (2.0ghz, 1mb L2 cache)
Tyan Thunder K8W motherboard (model S2885)
2048mb PC3200 ECC/Registered RAM (Corsair XMS, 4x 512mb DIMMs)
(2) Western Digital Raptor 10,000 RPM 74gb SATA drives (mirrored in RAID 1)
PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 510 ATX power supply with EPS12V support and active PFC
Antec SX1000 series SOHO file server case
Generic CDROM, PCI video, etc.

Full details and pics (http://www.clannumbnutz.com/phpnuke/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=10&mode=&order=0&thold=0)

I'm at a loss for where to begin. We have and do ran servers on this same machine (colocation) for the following SoF2, BF Vietnam, BF Desert Combat. These problems only seem to be happening with CS:S though.

...I have yet to find a pattern. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dunno about the maps being corrupt. I have been having peeps saying that the textures were missing. The other players and my own textures were fine. Peeps were saying that the walls were black and such. I have seen one map, The aim_shooty map where the water has a Purple tint to it. But people have complained about inferno and others and they looked fine to me.

I am talking only about stock maps on my server.

If your having problem with custom maps then you probably need the .res file so people joining your server will get the textures as well.

Decided to dump the entire install again and see if the third time was a charm. Nope...sigh!

...still looking for the problem and a fix.
