So, I created this thread in the Scripting Help forums. I'll post the contents of my first post again:

GetConsoleVarAsInt and GetConsoleVarAsBool don't return the correct value obviously. I have this line in my server.cfg file: Code: stream_distance 300.0 Does anyone know a solution?

So, here I am reporting the problem.

EDIT:
See also this post in the Useful Functions thread.

EDIT 2:
The server also crashes if a nonexistent console variable is used.
I've updated the wiki page to show that this is a known bug.
