I've been trying to fire up a dedicated server (to leave running on my router machine, Windows 2003 server, which is on 24/7) but not having much luck
The file structure for my source install can be seen in this screenshot, as well as the persistent error that keeps occurring. This error happens whether I run the SRCDS.exe in UI (via the little shortcut I created - which is not my preferred choice) or if I use a batch file with the command:
srcds.exe -console -game gesource -maxplayers 8 +map ge_caves +exec sv/type/dm.cfg
(Where the dm.cfg file contains the server specific settings)
Is there a known work-around for this?
The server hotfix is installed.
I've tried binding the IP in the command line.
I've even re-downloaded HL2MP using the HLUPDATETOOL.
Nothing seems to be fixing it
Basically, I'm at a loss and desperate to get a server up and running for this fantastic mod.
(btw - not sure I mentioned it, in a shameless sycophantic way, that this mod absolutely rocks my socks off!)
