I followed the instructions on the Wiki page for creating a dedicated server and all goes well... for a while. When I install the Dedicated Server tool, update it, pull down the OB files, drop the GES files in there and run the server, it works fantastically. That is until I'm forced to shut the server down. Every attempt afterwards fails and it hangs loading the deathmatch.cfg file. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong as it works flawlessly on my main PC, which runs Windows 7.
The PC I'm using has a now completely fresh install of Windows XP Professional x86. I have the firewall disabled, I don't run anti-virus or anti-spyware tools on it either. I've gone so far as to basically disable Automatic Updates as well.
srcds.exe -console -game gesource -tickrate 33 -ip 192.168.1.108 -port 27015 +map ge_stack_classic +maxplayers 8
That's the command I use to run the server. As said, it runs great the very first time but fails every single time afterwards.
Attached is exactly what my server looks like and exactly where it hangs every time. Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something important? Someone help me out here!
