Code:

Connection to Steam servers successful.
Adding master server 69.28.151.162:27011
Adding master server 207.173.177.11:27011

That's how a server suppose to be when its on the master list
But my server is like this:



Code:

Connection to Steam servers successful.
VAC secure mode is activated.

Well this is HIGHLY not recommended. Many features lack in the Steam version. It is highly recommended NOT to do this.

Thats true dont use steams dedicated server, use srcds, runs a heap better and if you dont like console coz you have to know all the commands the download hlsw which is a server tool for easy access. its what i use when im not playing and people dont have admin to change them selfs and there to stupid to write rtv.

[ikillyou]

ok i will try SRDS from this website

Yes it does work on Vista, but there are some known problems. Just give it a try, and feel free to open a new thread if you run into trouble

it works on visa yes, i have my server running on a vista os, i havnt found any problems so it works really well, srsly my server runs on my laptop and i play on my pc. its the best!

[ikillyou]

ok
i got it to work
i forwaded all the ports and it still did not go online
i am now using the version from this website

[Tashiiee]

It is hard for you to see if its online because you will only ever see it in lan, just leave it up for a day or so and see if some1 connects, mind you i have my server going all day so no1 ever connects anyway, you just have to be patient.

[ikillyou]

so you want me to keep it on for a day?

i asked my friend to connect to it and he can't
