[Resolved] Need help with new L4D2 Dedicated Server

[Tech]

Hello all,

Trying to launch a L4D2 Dedicated Windows Server. When launching, this is the console window:

Code:

12.6 fps  0/18 on map  c5m1_waterfront
#Console initialized.
#***VPK: FastFindFile Attempting to use full path with VPK file!

Not sure if I need to worried about any of those errors? Could someone clairfy for me? For example the "Server is hibernating", not sure if that's normal or not.

Secondly, my L4D2 server stays up for a bit, then just randomly crashes with no errors. Not sure if there is a way to debug, or hold the console window to see what the error is. Any ideas?

Here is my server config:

Code:

hostname Blah Blah Wicked Cool L4D2 Server
rcon_password "**********"
sv_password "" // only needed to make your server private.
sv_contact "ryan.horman@gmail.com"

hostport 27016
sv_lan 0 // enable LAN = 1; disable LAN = 0
sv_region 0
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 //enable/disable Lobby connections 1/0

mp_disable_autokick 1 //disables autokick=1

sv_maxrate 60000
sv_minupdaterate 66
sv_maxupdaterate 101
sv_mincmdrate 66
sv_maxcmdrate 101

Lastly, here is my server info:
BASIC INFO
Server OS: Windows Server 2003 Standard 32-bit
Processor: AMD 64-bit
Ram: 4 GB
Game(s): Team Fortress 2, L4D2
Start Up Command: C:\L4D2\left4dead2\srcds.exe -console -game left4dead2 -port 27025 +map c5m1_waterfront
Admin Mods: SourceMod v1.3.1, MetaMod v1.8.0

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ry

Don't worry about this. Unless your server won't start up.

Just might want to use a FPS booster to fix the fps. Should be 30.

Oh ok. What do I do about the L4D2 SRCDS.EXE crashing? Anything I can do about that? It just randomly keeps closing.

Also, where could I find an FPS booster?

Thanks for the help!

Thanks Mooga! Everything appears to be working great. I just need someone to test my L4D2 server for me and confirm it's working if anyone would be so kind?

Had a friend test it for me. It's working just fine. Thanks for everyone's help!
