I have added -nomaster and +hide_server 1 in launch options for our match servers. I will let you know if it solves anything tonight.

Ok. Just thinking. I removed the servers from master browser. I think it would be also advised to change ports on the servers? Or removing the server form the browser will eliminate possibility of that happening again?

edit. I will check the above posted solution too

Yeah I forgot to say I did change the port too, although our server was already running on a different port to 27015. We tried running a game without tournament mode on and it still crashed, but the only thing that has (apparently) fixed it was removing the server from the master lists.

Tried it, did not prevent the server from crashing.

Tried this yesterday – after 10 the server crashed again :x

The problem we were experiencing was not crashes, the server just freezes for about 35 seconds then continues where it left off. No server restart no map restart you can actually just continue playing the match as long as everyone has not timed out.

With the recent firewall fix to prevent attacks on high level games, maybe the attackers have switched their attack vector to more vulnerable servers. Its not hard to find a server running a comp match (13 man, passworded, stv tags?) Sure a automated program could do it, and the idea of only attacking for 30 seconds is that is the default time-out for most players so the match has been ruined move onto the next target.

However, has anyone experienced this in warm-up time?

It isn’t.

eu server ops really need to get ahead of the game then, us gamehosts resolved this back in what, 07?

after that theyll only have three more years worth of still unresolved bugs to catch up with.

oh the hilarity

We crashed at the second we were going live, right before you get in spawn.
And all the other ‘ crashes’ were 35 sec long.
Coincidence? or updated fucked something over?
