SRCDS in Windows 7

[Otoris]

I run an in house server for testing purposes. I just installed Windows 7 on the server after having a hard drive failure. ( Not wanting to dig up my old copy of Windows XP ) I set everything up the way it was supposed to be, installed all the games I run on it, then I went to start it up. I goto run> then enter the params in, then click run. Nothing happened. So I tried running GUI. Nothing happened there either. So my only guess so far is that Windows 7 cannot handle SRCDS? If anyone has a fix or can confirm this, it would be much appreciated. ^_^

Thanks,

Well I tryed with the Beta of Windows 7. It didn't work on that.

What's your startup command?

[Otoris]

c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_atomic -maxplayers 6 -autoupdate -port 27015

Try run it from a batch script.

[Otoris]

Nothing.

I suppose it was dumb trying a new OS anyways. ^_^ I'll go stick with what I know for now, until srcds updates to address this issue, probably an incompatibility issue.

Thanks though.

SRCDS dose not work with Windows 7 atm, it is very buggy on the ver I am on (about 8 ver ahead of the public one).

Oh, wow! I just found that by installing steam and running the dedicated server through steam under the tools tab works! Everything looks normal performance wise as well. ( Compared to Windows XP )

Thought I would mention it.

Thanks, I will look into this and report back

Just to be clearer about this, it ran Counter-Strike Source and Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, I'll boot it up today and install other games and make a list of the ones that work if they don't all work. ^_^

all the games play fine.


If one server works, they all should too

**Resists urge to explode**

Why are you using Windows 7 for a server OS? I have nothing against it (im typing this on win 7 on my laptop atm) its just not anywhere close to being a server OS.

Although for games, It runs TF2 just aswell (if not marginally better) than vista did.
