Unexplained Immediate Crash

[XtremeGamingWid]

I just made a fresh install of Steam Dedicated Server via hldsupdatetool.

when i launch hlds, not gui, it puts a 15% load on my machine for about a half a second and goes away. So I know it is launching, but it just crashed right away.

the same issue is present with the gui environment as well. I have also ran the updatetool a second time to make sure I have valid files and up to date files and all is good their.

any suggestion?

I have tried starting the gui by double clicking on the application and I have also tried launching it from cmd.

I also created a shortcut and put the Launch Switches to set server basics and launched that by double click and from cmd.

I am very knowledgeable when it comes to server for I have been hosting home servers for about 3 years and tech support for some small gaming companies.

The problem I am experiencing, I have never experienced before and w/o an Error, I dont know what is going on.

Did you try to add -debug to the startupline? See what that comes up with (log comes in the main srcds\<mod> folder)

Hello.

This is not the original person who has been posting. He has called in sick today and has asked me to resolve this issue since the server is located here at our Gaming Center. He told me to set up a command line in the shortcut of the scrds.exe

I have created, what i think is right, the command line for the boot up and the problem is still present. Please verify that this is right. I dont want to call him since he is sick and sleeping. Thank you.
