    At some point my server is always crashing. Or maybe more like hanging. All people currently playing get kicked, server disappears from server browser, but it doesnt literally crash. It just hangs and needs to be killed manually from this point.

    GDB output is here: http://91.228.199.193/van/crashlog.log

    Halp plx.

    is it using 100% of your CPU power when it hangs?

    Noes. Far to that. I didnt check but this is friend's VPS machine and I use only one of few accounts there. And besides that one server I host 4 other game servers. They would be dead if that single hang would use 100% of CPU.

    Does it happen on a certain map, maybe? We -Robinskie and I- had that with one of the maps on our server. (But that disconnected everyone. So it didn't "hang".)

    I use map generators, and sometimes it is able to run the whole mapcycle few times so I doubt so. Actually yes, it disconnects everyone (and the server isnt responsible later).

    Please set sv_tcpr=0 and tell me if it still crashes. Also please share the gdb backtrace from more of these crashes so I can look for patterns

    Actually it stopped crashing for now after setting sv_tcpr=0 (like 2-3 days already). Thanks for hint!

    @FliesLikeABrick, would you still like me to make some crashes with sv_tcpr enabled (running via GDB of course) for debugging purposes?
