Anti-Crash (Performance Booster)

Performance Guarantee

In order to guarantee results anti-crash has been developed on a popular pure vanilla sandbox server reducing 20-30 crashes each day to 0 crashes.

There could still be rare crashes caused by engine bugs or improper configured server hosting software.

How does it work?

• Anti-Crash constantly monitors your server's loss of performance to predict incoming crashes and monitors all entities for weird or out of bounds behaviors to stop collision and map exploit crashes.
• the system automatically patches several exploits, reduce physics performance impact, and has its own netrate limiter.
• Anti-Crash automatically prevents lag and crashes the way you configured it in the settings.
• The toolgun and prop spammers can say goodbye to spamming their ropes, props, and all other annoying toolgun mechanics that ruin the fun for others.
• The system gives out flags to players for triggering the system and admins have the tools needed to monitor those players with the sleek admin interface menu that allows them to have full control over anyone's props and ability to spawn and toolgun.
• Players love workshop dupes, no need to disable them any longer, dupes are filtered on spawn disabling those crash dupes and any models not installed on the server will not spawn to avoid error model spammers (no one likes errors).
• Track your server's performance combined with other useful stats, so you know what the general bottleneck of your servers performance is.
• Can't be bothered to check player per player? No problem, toggle global Entity Vision and see all player owned entities trough walls to find out instantly what is happening around you.
• The anti-crash will broadcast all events in console to any staff members that you allowed for easy monitoring without even having to open the menu.

Compatibility

Administration Tools:

• FAdmin
• sAdmin
• SAM
• Server Guard
• ULX
• XAdmin

Prop protections:

• APG - Anti Prop Griefing & Crash Protection
• Falco's Prop Protection (FPP)
• PCS - Prop Control System
• PatchProtect
• Simple Prop Protection (SPP)
• gProtect - Prop Protection Reinvented
• Astrea Toolbox

Why not use a free workshop anti-crash?

Sure, go ahead and use a poorly optimized anti-crash like crident's that will most definitely not stop the players intended to crash your server and blacklists half the available props...

I have prop protection X do I need an anti-crash?

Some prop protections like gProtect have anti-crash related features but those are only a small part of what this anti-crash does to prevent crashes.

That's why Anti-Crash is fully compatible with most if-not all prop protection systems to get you that anti-crash guarantee!
