Code:

SetTitleMatchMode 2
Loop
{
	WinKill, Application Error	
	Sleep 5000
}

Those 4 wonderful lines of AutoHotkey code (not counting the braces) guarantee that when srcds crashes in the way that has become very common now, my existing server loader will catch the process closing. Before this, an Application Error message appeared which required manual intervention to close before the srcds process closed, but now this will check every 5 seconds and close any that appear.

Basically, whenever a server crashes, it will almost always be back up before anyone gets automatically disconnected

Awesome - I hadn't actually tested it tbh

 

Re: Yet another reason why GM > *

Window Spy any error messages that appear, please

(Programs > Autohotkey > AutoIt3 Window Spy and then just focus on the error message and save all the shit that appears in the window spy dialog)

It runs globally for the main user's desktop on the dedi, so errors of that type in any program (not just all our srcds processes) will be closed. So yeah, it already runs on our gmod server And it seems to work too - I saw it handle errors in gmod several times earlier today

It turns out the script only worked when someone was logged into RDP because the screensaver password protect was enabled, which hides all windows, preventing AHK from functioning.

It should work perfectly now
