Hi,

The map I have made is all done and works fine on my Windows PC, but the map crashes the Clan GGG remote Linux server that I pay for.

Symptoms: When the map is loaded using rcon command "changelevel de_Veikko_b2" or "changelevel de_veikko_b2", CS:S goes to the connection/loading screen, and just stays on "server changing level" and never gets anywhere. When I check the server's map using xfire, I find that it has crashed and after some time, reverted back to the first map in the map list (de_dust).

So I was hoping that some of you could tell me some things in a map that would invariably crash Linux servers. BTW, my map is a Counter-Strike: Source map, if that helps you in any way.

Now I realise that there has already been a topic on this by Boxy, but he never actually said how he fixed it, and he hasn't been on since Feb 2005.

I hope that I can sort out the problem soon, I want to premier my new server with this map on board.

the only time that one of my maps crashed linux servers while playing fine on windows was a few years ago. a tfc map with an explosion that created to many gibs caused that one.

Found a solution! Apparently, it wasn't my map's fault, it is any map compiled under the newest version of the SDK. All I had to do was add this to the command line when you go to compile:

-novirtualmesh

That's it! I mean, it might not work for all, but it worked perfectly for my map, so it is worth a shot for anyone else having problems.
