Pls Help SRCDS not starting up

[stonehash]

I have read all the forums posts about this fault but none apply to my case. The server starts up and when its busy loading server.cfg it just dissapears, when run in console mode.

In Gui it starts up and then gives a mem error.

i have also updated the server 3 or more times

C:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -fpspingboost -game cstrike -tickrate 66 +fps_max 600 +maxplayers 12 +map de_dust2

Pls someone help
Thnx

Ensure to clear your RCON and server password.

hmmmm which addons do you have installed?
Have you tried removing the addons and just booting up the server fresh?
Have you tried a server update?
Have you tried to verify all the server files?

[stonehash]

Thnx again manofphat......yeah like i said ..i have tried brand new downloaded srcds with nothing on ...also downloaded it about 3x times...when u download over existing files it auto verifies..yeah so u c...

There is one way i can start my srcds server and does not crash ..and thats if i change my outgoing ip adress so that theres no internet connection and then start srcds server up..and when it comes to the part which says finnished loading mani_server.cfg and almost making the steam connection ..i then restore my ip address to normal so that internet is up then srcds server says VAC secure mode and issues me with master ip address from steam.

the server then runs 100% until map change time..then it crashes again.

i have managed get a debug error from my srcds which ill try to attach ..maybe u can make some sence out of it... once again thnx for yur reply.

what the hell is that attachment man? lol

Do you have a static or dynamic external IP?
Is this on your home PC or on a dedicated box?
Which operating system is it running?
What kind of router do you have?

[Drocona]

That file be a secret link to a hidden treasuremap!

[stonehash]

The internet ip is Dynamic all other internal ips are dhcp assined.
Stand alone server dual zeon 3ghz - 3gb mem - raid scsi hdd - WIN server2003 which runs threw to Intel server 1.8ghz zeon running IPCOP firewall then connects to Internet router (Netgear dg384 v3) all necessary ports forwarded....anyway as i explained previously ... if i disconnect from internet and start the server it runs until it has to do mapchange

[Drocona]

Why are you using 2 routing points?

Make sure you forward the ports on that 1.8GHz Xeon too.
Also static internet IP will be needed, else no-one will be able to add it to their favorites.
