Server OS: Windows Server 2012 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40 Ghz
Ram: 4 GB.

Start Up Command: "C:\HLServer\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf +map ctf_2fort +maxplayers 16" with compatibility mode set for Windows XP SP3
Admin Mods: None
I decided to run a TF2 server on Windows Server 2012 (64bit)
1) Installed HldsUpdateTool and ran the following command:
2) The installation finished with:
3) I verify ports 27015 and 27005 are forwarded in my router correctly. I also make Inbound Rules to allow them in Windows Firewall. I verify that there is a "steam_appid.txt" file with "440" inside of it.
4) I launch TF2 with the following:
4) The following is displayed:
5) The message "Sending CMsgGameServerMatchmakingStatus (state=ServerMatchmakingState_NOT_PARTICIPATING)" bothers me since it seemed like everything installed correctly.
6) I go to a command prompt and do a "netstat -a" which shows:
7) I notice "UDP 0.0.0.0:27020 *:*" and realize that's not forwarded in my router. I forward it in my router and create a rule for it in Windows Firewall.
8) I relaunch TF2 with the same command as earlier but still get the "Sending CMsgGameServerMatchmakingStatus (state=ServerMatchmakingState_NOT_PARTICIPATING)" message. I wonder if I'm missing another port so I shutdown the TF2 server and do another "netstat -a" and compare it to the one I did when TF2 server was running. One port is not accounted for: 26901
9) I add rules for 26901 in Windows Firewall and forward it in my router and relaunch TF2 server. I still get the "Sending CMsgGameServerMatchmakingStatus (state=ServerMatchmakingState_NOT_PARTICIPATING)" message.
10) I reboot my router and relaunch TF2 server. I still get the same error.
11) I try to launch TF2 server with:
but I still get the same error.
12) I install and run TCPview (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx). I notice that on occasion, srcds.exe will connect on ports 50030 and higher, but it appears to be an outbound connection that establishes itself and then disconnects.
13) Just for the hell of it I install Steam and update it. I log into my account and leave steam open. I relaunch TF2 server and still get the same error. Then I wonder if the "tf_server_identity_account_id not set; not logging into registered account" message is related and might be causing the problem. So I follow the directions on (https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513).
14) Relaunch TF2 server with 16 max players and still get the same error message. This is now my output:
15) Read on a forum that I need to add "tf_mm_servermode 1" to my server.cfg so I give that a try. #$&)$&#@!!!, It finally works! No more error message. =D
