Hello,

before we make an official Steam update, I'd like to give this small update out that fixes the crashes that have been happening, which have been found thanks to everyone sending the mdmp files to me.

Windows: http://synergymod.net/files/server.zip
Linux: http://synergymod.net/files/server_i486.zip

NOTE: make sure you disable auto-update if it's on, or Steam will replace the new one with the Steam version.

Can't you say which fixes in particular? HL2 campaign fixes also?

[Dr.Stinglock]

Nice work, as always VOSK.

I'll leave my server up all night and check in the morning...see if the maps all played in order!

Windows server standalone

So far:

EP1_citadel_00 does not crash watching car fall down. Good job!

The reason that map crashes is because the van gets deleted when it gets to the bottom, taking players along with it. So there is still the potential for crash, however 4-Legged Tumor will be adding a fail-safe to it, to make sure it doesn't happen: a trigger_hurt!

This server update fixes the Airboat (gun) crash, the crash that happens when a player connects and a few others as well, just can't recall at the moment.

EP1 I played now without any crash.

but somehow No NPCs speak.. Like they are muted or somebody took out their tongue.

Whoops.
Can you tell me if going back to the old DLL works? (The Steam DLL.)

[Teddl]

Yes, the old server.dll works with sound.

I tried back and forth! What's the issue? =)

[Dark1337]

Awesome! Now my server wont crash in the canals!

[Teddl]

The GMan scene without voice in EP2 with Alyx is realy creepy =)

[Teddl]

I jumped into my windows server and it appeared that with the new server.dll the main characters ( Alyx, Eli, Kleiner... ) have nothing to say.
But the "unimportant" NPCs seem to talk like "Here, take a med kit". Alien and Zombie sounds are ok..

[Teddl]

uhm.. HL2 sounds are all fine.. only the episodes are with no main npc voices.

sorry for posting this so **** late.

[VOSK]

Not to worry folks, I've already resolved the issue. Won't be released until a bit later though.

[Methodman]

Woo thanks for the early update. I actually made it through canals 11 without crashing! Though It never stays. I set do not automatically update this game and it does it anyway. It keeps switching back on it's own... Guess I'll just wait for the official.

[Teddl]

If it is of interrest, windows server crashed only once while playing HL2 - EP1 - EP2

5/5 players

Same here.

[Rothgar]

We still get a fair number of crashes on map changes with this server.dll, I've sent some in via e-mail.

"Level transition ERROR

Message like those should NEVER happen. I don't know how you're getting them, as I don't.
I'd better check this one out though.

You aren't running with sv_cheats on, are you?

Just for a laugh, try deleting the "dat" files from the "maps" directory.

[janvier1985]

Same here.
