Server REFUSES to start
#1
Sad 
I have ran a Sourceforts server for sometime... latly it had to be shutdown for opproxematly 66days.. i fire it up now... i get the config screen (where you choose the game, players, rcon pass, etc.) when i hit start, nothing happend.. all i get is a process named "srcds.exe" (wich is obviously the server one), and nothing happens.. no net activity... no window... nothing!. Anyone got an idea why? Sad

i tried running a straight-no-mod CSS server, still same problem

i have tried this on 3 Pcs (Processors of wich are: AMD, Intel, VIA EDEN) All failed


Any idea? Sad

Try running the server as console not GUI. (GUI = bad).

Update-
I ran it froma  shortcut with commandline args:
-console -game sourceforts -maxplayers 6 +map sf_skywalk
And the window oipens for a split second then exits... what happening :S
update again....
i magaed to capture the output by VERY quickly pressing the print screen key!

output:-
Console initialized
Attempted to create unknown entity type event_queue_saveload_proxy!
Game.DLL loaded for "sourceforts v1.9.2"

Update the server, start it without any mod and then rebuild with mods.

Looks liek you're running the dedicated server from steam, you shouldn't use that one.
You should get the standalone dedicated server (HLDSUpdatetool.exe installs it)

Indeed i was,

I now installed the stand alone version.. Worked first time!!, Smile

Also.. my server install is much smaller (600mb, as apposed to 3-4gig!)
