Srcds wont start
#1
ok so i've installed srcds the same way i always do and it have always been working but not now? :S

when i open the server without any mods/scripts or anything
the console opens and it spams the following like shit;
Exec banned_user cfg: File size larger then 20MB

and this keeps on spamming and server wont start :/

Any suggestions on what may cause this?

could you post your startup line. also. idk if theres a limit on the banned file. but you can try removin all the users temporarily and reboot the server see wat happens

here's the command line (pretty poor cuz just set up server):

C:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust -maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

and i have no players in the banned.cfg cuz the server hasnt been up yet.

try removing the banned_user file itself and see if it boots up correctyl
and if you;re using windows you can remove -autoupdate from the command line as well

Show us your full server.cfg (Edit out the rcon).
I'm guessing it's running itself.
Also, remove -autoupdate as it doesn't work in windows.

on your server.cfg at the end you have exec server.cfg
i doubt that would be the problem but heck you can still give it a shot.

you dont need it there anyway. since the file is already being executed. i was thinkin maybe its confusin the server in someway having the command executed twice.
