Error with TF2 server

[Krypt]

Trying to get a TF2 server going and when I launch it I get the error:

"Failed to load the launcher dll. The specified procedure could not be found."

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Hey
i just finished dling tf2 as well
how did u end up even getting it to launch

i dont see a srcds.exe like you normaly see in a cs:s server

[Krypt]

I'm still getting this error. I just reinstalled the DS to see if that would help but it did not.

When I try to run it through the run command I get this message first:

"The procedure entry point ThreadWaitForObjects could not be located in the dynamic link library tier0.dll"

That is followed by the error located in my first post.

I cant get the TF2 server to download this is the error I get

Quote:Cannot open blob archive file: CMultiFieldBlob(mem-mapped file): File does not e
xist and failed to create new file

This is the command I am running to download it. I think everything it ok with it. I used the same one to download a CS:S server I just changed the location and game name.

C:\srcds\HldsUpdateTool.exe -command update -game tf -dir C:\TF2server

I too am having this same issue, it just started with in the past 2 days.
When trying to install DOD, so i was like whats go on here now, so i attempted to run the css.bat & got the same thing.

I have tested this on 4 different machines 2 that have never had any games of any kind ever installed on them & one was a fresh install of XP-pro as well as up on the server, dual xeon 2 gig ram 1u rack mount also an XP-pro rigg.

Changing folder permissions has no effect.
At this point im at a total loss.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

This is CSS update its worked fine for more then a year, untill now.

"Cannot open blob archive file: CMultiFieldBlob(mem-mapped file): File does not exist and failed to create new file"

I got that one too. But the error went away just as fast as it came. I startet the update again like 5 times and then my download continued. I did run the command with and without the -dir parameter and without the ".exe" I don't know if it had any effect. Try it. Try one of these:

c:\srcds\hldsupdatetool -command update -game tf
c:\srcds\hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game tf
c:\srcds\hldsupdatetool -command update -game tf -dir c:\srcds (use another folder. This gets a bit messy)
c:\srcds\hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game tf -dir c:\srcds

Thanks for the reply & yes i just tried your suggestion with the following line.
This is on a fresh install of XP-pro & its had all its updates.
This is the only thing to have been installed on this rigg after running windows update.

Also as far as i know as long as the batch file resides in the same folder as the executable it doesn't require you to have the full directory path. IE "c:\foldername" as its already in this folder
Im pretty sure you only need the full path when the batch file is sitting somewhere else in the system & needs to be told where the exe is located.

Heres the line.
hldsupdatetool -command update -game tf -dir C:\temp\TF2
time/t
@pause

Heres the response.

C:\TEMP\Valve>hldsupdatetool -command update -game tf -dir c:\temp\TF2

C:\TEMP\Valve>time/t

Press any key to continue . . .

It also creates a file after each attempt to run the exe.
Heres the last file name.

I have also started a topic on the steam forums, i hope its ok to post a link if not feel free to remove it.

Why are you trying to install into the Temp folder?

that wont work..


Install it in a folder like c:\SRCDS and update 3 times (YES 3!!), I had to update 3 times on 3 different servers before it worked, the srcds.exe will be in C:\SRCDS\orangebox\ folder when the install is complete.
AS LONG AS SRCDS.EXE IS NOT THERE KEEP RUNNING THE UPDATER!!

It really makes no difference what the folders name is. The only reason i used a temp folder was because this was a clean install of windows.
If it had worked i would have uploaded that whole temp folder to the server.

I was running into the same error. Try this and see if it works.

In my case, my command line was:

D:\Valve\HLServer\HLDSUPDATETOOL.EXE -command update -game "tf" -dir "D:\Valve\TF2_Server_1"

I was getting the same error.

I went into "d:\valve\" and created the TF2_Server_1 directory manually.

Reran the update, this time it gave me some...
Updating TF2... blah blah blah... resource not found
and did it a few time then started to update the game files.

So far it appears to be working. It's a ghetto fix, but if it works who cares, right? LOL.

***Edit*** By the way, if the connection 'drops', just run the update command again; it'll work. I don't know wtf is up with the update tool, but it's being a... tool I guess.

[SargCHG]

Yup thats it, worked like a charm, you are correct it does drop the connection after about 4 mins or so & you have to restart it. Other then that Problem solved. Thanks for the input, im sure it will help others as well.

Well, I have gotten to the point where the items should download, however I get the message no installation record found at c:\tf2ds\orangebox and there is no folder structure being created in my \orangebox folder. Is this normal? Should no activity be happening on the command prompt?

[Drocona]

It can stay at that line for as much as 5 minutes before it continues, just be patient, valve content servers are under a LOT of stress and TF2 is much bigger than the rest of the gameservers.

[THaNaToS_J2]

Having it 'stall' multiple times is normal. At least normal for me last night! I was even getting client session rejected errors and couldn't continue my update. In the end, it all eventually came through and I got to run a smooth 24-man server.
Although the tick rate never went about 60... Never went below 60 either so I guess that's a good thing! I run my own CS:S server sometimes and I know I know what I'm doing; must be a beta tf2 thing or I just haven't found an article explaining what needs to be done differently.
