Possible stack corruption? about gmsv_serversecure HOT 15 CLOSED

I have been having weird errors/freezes that seem to only happen if the map has been changed off of the default one. Here is a log example.

Player <STEAM_0:0:0> used tool creator on The Map

The weird part that is leading me onto this conclusion is

ConVarRef room_type doesn't point to an existing ConVar
Executing dedicated server config file server.cfg

which is a console message that only prints when the server first starts up.

I would assume Lua would still be in a valid state whenever __gc is called, otherwise it would be impossible to clean up native resources held by Lua objects. Then again, Garry butchered the require function so any assumptions from Lua are probably moot. I do this clean up because of another module I have, unrequire, that allows unloading native modules. This unrequire also tries to remove the global table possibly created by the module, so it shouldn't be needed to remove the global table by the original module. It should be fine to do this change.

I'm getting a similar issue as well, 80% of the time the server will crash on map restart/change.

Trying to create entities too early! (base_point)

@jellyton69

1. What version of the module are you using?
2. What operating system is the server on (distro, version, is it updated)?
3. What architecture is your operating system (32 or 64 bits)?
4. Are you using the main or x86-64 branch of Garry's Mod and if using the x86-64 branch, what architecture are you using (32 or 64 bits)?
5. Is your server updated?
6. Are you using any other binary modules?

from gmsv_serversecure.

I was using an old version, so I've gone ahead and updated, I'll report back all my info if the problem persists on the new version.

from gmsv_serversecure.

1. Latest Version
2. Linux (unsure of distro, and version, using a Crident Server)
3. Server arch: 32bit
4. Main branch 32bit
5. Yes
6. Yes, mysqloo, wos crypt, xeon DRM, gluapack.

@jellyton69 can you try this build please?

from gmsv_serversecure.

I've run a bunch of tests, seems like the issue persists, but might be less common.

(This might just be a coincidence, but it seems that the longer the server has been on a map, the smaller chance of a crash, the shorted the time, the more common the crash.

from gmsv_serversecure.

Just to confirm, when you say "the issue persists", you're talking about map restarts/changes, right?

from gmsv_serversecure.

Also, I'd appreciate if you could tell me how you're testing, I'm unable to reproduce any crashes by spamming changelevel and map commands, with or without a real player.

The issue being server crash on attempted restart/change.

Also, I'd appreciate if you could tell me how you're testing, I'm unable to reproduce any crashes by spamming changelevel and map commands, with or without a real player.

I'm just running a simple map/maprestart command from the admin mod SAM. It's possible the issue could stem from another addon or module, or the server itself, which has major issues with steam auth currently.

from gmsv_serversecure.

A stacktrace of the crash would help, do you know how to run srcds with gdb?

from gmsv_serversecure.

I'm not familiar, but I'll look into it.

from gmsv_serversecure.

At the expense of the server crash when changing the map, it's true, there is such a problem at the moment with this module.

from gmsv_serversecure.

It could have also been MySQLoo as they recently released an update that they say fixed a possible stack corruption.
