srcds hangs on startup

[michaelh]

Hi,
I'm running SRCDS with TF2, and it just hangs at the point:
Network: IP 97.107.129.42, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 27015 SV / 27005 CL
It's been working for a few months, but since the last update it just hasn't worked.

My system specs are:
OS: Debian 5.0 64-bit (inside Xen)
CPU: 4x Xeon L5420 @ 2.4GHz
RAM: 0.36GB

Startup command:
./srcds_run -debug -console -game tf +map arena_waste_final -autoupdate -tickrate 66 +maxplayers 32 +sv_maxrate 20000 +sv_maxupdaterate 66 +fps_max 600

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

"-ip 97.107.129.42"

Needs to be added to your startup command.

Nope, still no joy

EDIT: Now it works, but I keep getting

Quote:MasterRequestRestart
Your server will be restarted on map change.

No idea, I have never run into that error before.

I think that means that it needs to be restarted due to updates. Or maybe it only believes that it needs that restart... Try running a manual update, maybe with -verify_all

Already tried updating with ./steam -game tf -command update left it saying it was up to date (and same error), but i'll try -verify_all.

EDIT: Still nothing.

Ive notice srcds hang right after it puts up the IP like that when DNS servers, default gateways, and just general network stuff is incorrect.

But, another question... Is this a VPS?

EDIT: Dumb question, of course it is...
In most cases srcds doesn't work well under VPS'.

That's why its called Source Dedicated Server, Else it would be srcvps :3

But you could try reinstalling all the server files. Rather than re updating, install srcds to another directory then run it to see if it works.

It is a VPS, however, it has been running fine for 2-3 months up till now, and my friend is also running srcds on his VPS, and that's fine. I'll try redownloading a copy of the tf2 files then.

Let me know if that fixes it, Ive had some random errors before and that fixed it just fine, or -verify_all
