sdktools crashes due to recent tf2 update on certain cpus

[bottiger1]

The new TF2 update broke GetCPUInformation() for at least 1 of my cpus. This function is dynamically linked to in libtier0_srv.so.

It shows the intel cpu as having 3dnow an AMD only instruction set and not having SSE. So when NormalizeVector is called, the server crashes due to running AMD only code. This doesn't seem to be an issue on every CPU.

I don't know if this will be fixed so maybe it's worth not using the game for basic math operations like this.

Having the same issue, server crashes on NormalizeVector

CPU: AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6386 SE OS: linux x32

I'm sorry, I'm asking a question at a more primitive level.

After the update, server crashes when using things related to aim tracing, for example targeting player with @aim command; using plugins such as 'spawn building at aim', 'teleport player to aim'. Super Spray Handler or Spray Manager crash the server when you try to connect (those plugins always check if you are aiming at the spray, as I understand it).

Is this related to the problem you are talking about? Thank you!

@minimal138 yea, this is related to the problem, everything that uses NormalizeVector (maybe some other functions) causes crash

@bottiger1 @Jugheadbomb @minimal138 Please could you edit your comments to include which platform and model CPU you're using.

Could one of you give SourceMod 1.12.7119 or 1.11.6958 a try to see if it resolves the issue? (Linux builds are available now, Windows will be shortly)

[engvin]

@psychonic 1.11.6958 resolved the issue for me, thanks!

p.s. still dont know the linux version and CPU I have, hoster's tech support is slow

[psychonic]

There was another comment that mentioned the issue still being present, however, that comment looks to have been edited or removed.

I pushed some additional fixes, and new builds are in progress. Would you mind verifying again that everything is still working as intended once those are available? (The version number should end up being +1 from the ones I listed in my previous comment)

[Jugheadbomb]

@psychonic I'm sorry, it was my comment. Issue have been resolved after your previous hl2sdk-tf2 changes. It was my mistake: I just updated sm bins, but forgot to update extensions.

[engvin]

@psychonic 1.11.6959 works fine as well

[psychonic]

Thanks for checking
