[fjz345]

I've a BIG yet small problem here... when i start me srcds shortcut with commands:
C:\srcds\css\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -tickrate 33 -ip 81.170.138.39 -maxplayers 16 +map de_dust -port 27015 -autoupdate -insecure

2 errors comes up...

I "reinstalled" my computer 2 months ago with a fully working wcs css srcds server. I but it on my USB and then moved it in after to the same computer then I reinstalled the server the same way but it didn't work.. just 2 errors came up:


Im soooooo sry for swedish pictures ;(. But I will translate:
Errors1 says: srcds.exe - Can not find the start address
Can not find procedure start address SteamAPI_WriteMiniDump within the DLL steam_api.dll.

Error2 says: Launcher Error
Failed to load the launcher DLL:
Can not find the specified procedure.

I've searched the forum and google for similar things but nothing found
I want my server up again ;(

Are you still on the same IP address as listed in the command line above? Have you updated the game server srcds files with the hldsupdtetool after the recent updates from Valve? Have you updated the Steam client on the PC you're hosting this on?

Give those a try for starters...It appears to me there's an issue with the startup command line or not all the files are where they should be.

thx for reply i will try out in a instant

And when I start hldsupdatetool with starting commands C:\srcds\updater\HldsUpdateTool.exe hldsupdatetool -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir C:\srcds -verify_all
I notice something, every time i update it says that 5things will be updated and when i "update" again it says the same.
(Might be that thing)

That message is normal when running the hldsupdatetool and doesn't mean your server is out of date. I agree it's confusing, but it is in fact normal.

[fjz345]

Well it doesn't work ;(

1. Confirm the IP you are using in your command line is the correct IP for your PC like I asked you previously? Use this website to check: http://www.showmyip.com/

2. Try this command line: C:\srcds\css\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +ip 81.170.138.39 +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust -port 27015 -insecure - Substutute your correct IP if the one listed is wrong.

Let us know...

same thing. But i got 1 more "info".
the pop up things comes instant up and the 2nd comes after i clicked ok..... This is wierd -.-''.
I think that it might be something fucked up with some windows 7 update or something cause my server or killing floor works...

[scso1502]

Did you allow the hldsupdatetool to run all the way to the end till it finishes? It appears some files may be missing judging by the dll errors in your image...

I recommend re-running the hldsupdatetool again after adding the "-verify_all" parameter to the hldsupdatetool's command line. This will allow it to check the files and fix anything missing. The new line should something like this:

C:\hldsupdatetool\HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir C:\srcds\css -verify_all

Just make sure you set the folders in the tool's command line for your own system since mine I listed are probably a little different than what you have on your system.

Let us know...

yes... done it fully 10 times, but this is the school laptop and my friend and i also have same problem with borderlands and we fixed borderlands with:
1. Download all the .dll files that was missning.
2. Put them in the "C:\Windows\system".
But it takes too long time, i guess there are even more files for srcds

[fjz345]

but the thing my friend did with borderlands dont work on this... i tryed but it is this same problem...

[fjz345]

soo... no1 can help me so i have to stop using my server? -.- soooooooo bad ..

I have no idea why you would do this. This will not solve anything but in fact may have made things worse if you did it. There should be only one place you have the SRCDS files on your PC and that's the folder you downloaded them into with the HLDSUpdatetool. If that doesn't work, it's time to start looking at your basic settings to run the server, not where the files were placed.

Please do the following:

1. Remove any files you copied into your Windows folder or anywhere else on your PC except the SRCDS server folder.

2. Download a fresh copy of the server files to a NEW/DIFFERENT folder so we can start anew.

3. Create a startup batch file using the instructions found here: http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=109736209 in the section called "Restarting SRCDS at Crash"

4. Add the external IP and port to the command line in the batch file you create using the above instructions and test it out.

I know this is work and I know it takes time, but we have to eliminate the obvious and start clean or we will spend half the time to double-checking the band-aids we've place on stuff that may never work and at this point it's a mess.

Let us know.

I told you it doesn't work with these start commands... its the computers fault 100%, something with the new update or something that makes the .dll files not able to read the same way... thx for your concerning.
