Twice tonight the server has crashed abruptly and made all players gmod crash. It seems to happen right as an admin leaves, first it was Never and then Midna. It has done this for the past couple of days but I didn't correlate the admins leaving to the problem, I thought it was just random crashes. Still not sure if they correlate but they seem to.
Update: Rhythums just joined to test it and it didn't crash. But it's happened a few times with midna so I don't understand what could be the exact cause.
Update 2: Midna just got back on and we tested it again, this time only I crashed but earlier everyone on the server did.
I wonder if the Admins at the time were using the Admin glow, although in theory this would stretch to anyone using an Aura at this point. When you say it makes the players crash, do you mean everyone gets a clientside error and forces the clients themselves to crash?
I'm guessing so, as gmod itself crashes when this happens. Not entirely sure if that's what you meant as I don't know any of the technical details but I hope that answers your question.
Okay, I have a loose theory as to what might be causing this - if it is what I think it is, it was supposed to have been fixed.
My bad!! I saw this earlier but was busy at the time and completely forgot about it. I also haven't seen any more crashes so looks like we're good. hopefully haha
