[resolved] Left 4 Dead Dedicated server "srcds.exe - Entry point not found"
#1
Exclamation 
I am able to download the dedicated server and update it - Version 11 I believe. But when I launch I get the following error:

srcds.exe - Entry point not found
The procedure entry point ThreadShellExecute could not be located in the dynamic link librarytier0_s.dll

The server then claims to start with an error:

Uname to load steam suppor library.
The server will now operate in LAN only mode.

Any clues? Ive re-download the server content 2 times and I still get the same error.


OS - Windows SErver 2003 SP2, x86
Intex Xeon, 4 cores 2.6gHz
1GB ram
Left 4 Dead
startup command: srcds.exe -console -game left4dead +ip 74.231.179.240 +hostport 27015 +map l4d_hospital01_apartment.bsp

Install command:
hldsupdatetool -command update -game l4d_full -dir E:\l4d

Thanks!

I also get the same error after updating.

We also have a new add-ons folder to consider for when we do resolve this issue.

I can confirm that my server updated again and rebooted without issue and the first 4 players have entered (for some survival gamemode play no doubt Smile )

Thanks for the update posting.

Wow, Thanks all - I drove home from work (where I made the post) and just ran the update now - works perfectly fine.

I was freaked out because this is a new server I just paid for, glad it was a Steam problem. :-D

Even after the 2nd update I still can't get my L4D windows server working...

When launching the server I'm still getting an error:

Code:
"loading : srcds.exe - Entry Point Not Found"
The procedure entry point g_pMenAlloc could not be located in the dynamic link library tier0_s.dll"

After clicking ok the GUI will finished loading and I can click through the tabs fine but if I type "status" under the console tab the server crashes....

Below is the log after running the update again this morning to make sure my server had all the updates:

Code:
C:\>cd srcds

C:\srcds>hldsupdatetool -command update -game "l4d_full" -dir c:\srcds\l4d -pass
word ******

here is my command line:
Code:
C:\srcds\l4d\l4d\srcds.exe -autoupdate -game left4dead +ip ***.***.***.*** -port *****

And my server.cfg
Code:

//Fix to get your server onto the master lists
setmaster add 68.142.72.250:27011
setmaster add 72.165.61.189:27011


Using this same server.cfg and launching the game from my local machine (windows) with this command line:

Code:
"C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\srcds.exe"

This local server works fine and using sv_search_key I can connect to it.

I even reinstalled to a new folder to test a clean install, just added my server.cfg and still getting the same error starting the server.

Does anyone see anything in my config and/or command line as to why this isn't working on the server box? Worked fine with this setup before the updates yesterday...:confused: Thanks for any help anyone can give me. Smile
