Title: Server setup gameinfo.txt missing
Post by: JDB458430 on March 04, 2015, 02:29:46 am
So I tried to set up my own server recently, and I got to the point where a box game up asking me pick a server name and rcon password and all that jazz, and when I hit OK I get an error code that says "C:/Program/gameinfo.txt is missing!" So I made a folder called "Program", found the gameinfo.txt file, and copied it over. Now when I hit OK everything just closes immediately. If it isn't obvious I am a n00b when it comes to setting up servers. Pls help!

I assume you're setting up a server using Windows. Tell us a little more about your environment, how are you setting it up? It sounds like you're using SRCDS?

What I can tell you for sure though is your issue has to do with the fact that there's a space in your directory path, notably "Program Files".

Assuming all your Steam stuff is installed under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam, I'd recommend moving your Steam install directory to C:\Steam to avoid spaces in the directory name. See https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?p_faqid=231

Make sure your -game path is wrapped in quotes.

Correct, I was using SRCDS, and when I moved the install directory over to the other location it worked! Thanks for the help!
