The facts

Currently all GE:S Beta Linux servers are experiencing a bug that will cause them to crash about every 10 minutes if there's players in them.

How to fix ?

Any weapon spawn at the moment can cause this crash, so a workaround is to remove all weapon spawns from your maps loadout files. Of course this does mean that there will be no weapon spawns on the maps, only ammo crates and armor, so - even if the server is stable - you only start with slappers and a knife.

• Go to /gesource/maps/ directory and copy the 'loadouts' directory and make a backup copy of it (DO NOT make the backup copy inside the gesource directory or people will get an error that their directories dont match when they connect - instead copy it to somewhere else like mydocuments or the desktop - this is just to make sure you can set your spawns back to the default if you want to later on).

• Download this zip file.

• Extract the contents to /gesource/maps/loadouts/ directory.

• Now restart your server and you will have a crash-free server

Add weapons

You now have a DM server with knives and slaps only. You have three options. Use ONE of them.

Keep it like that

Yes. Not very funny.

LTK + PP7

• Go to /gesource/cfg/ directory and open server.cfg in your favorite text editor.
• Insert/change the following cvars:
  • ge_ltk 1
  • ge_startarmed 1

• At this time you should also check that ge_roundtimer is your time limit (mp_timelimit) plus a few seconds, this fixes a different crash bug by making the whole game only have 1 round (so no resetting). Note that ge_roundtimer is in seconds and mp_timelimit is in minutes so you need to make sure you set accordingly. Example:
  • ge_roundtimer 1810
  • mp_timelimit 30
  • since 30 minutes is 1800 seconds, ive set my round timer to 1810 seconds just to be sure.

• Use the rcon command "exec config.cfg" or restart your server: you will have a ltk server with pp7s and no other weapons

DeathMatch (or LTK) + All the weapons

• Download and install eventscript. Be sure that your /gesource/addons/mattie_eventscripts.vdf is like that:

"Plugin"
{
        "file"  "../gesource/addons/mattie_eventscripts"
}

• Create a folder in /gesource/addons/eventscripts/ named "rand_wpn".
• Copy/paste one of those scripts in /gesource/addons/eventscripts/rand_wpn/
• Add "es_load rand_wpn" to your /gesource/cfg/autoexec.cfg file.
• Use the rcon command "exec autoexec.cfg" or restart your server.
