Team Fortress 2 Dedicated Server wont start

[Blits]

As the title says. I'm running a standard, un-modded TF2 Dedi. Its the Steam UI version. Now please, don't tell me to go over to the console version, im sick of hearing that. Basically, I chose "Team Fortress 2" from the games list, enter the port and rcon password, and click start. It appears in the processes list of Windows task manger, and then disappears. Wtf?

Can you explain why you don't want to run console?

I don't support the steam GUI thing cause it stands for EVERYTHING you should NOT do with a dedicated server, in fact it's not a dedicated server at all.... Also it hides all errors and crap like that, which gets me in a position I should start guessing about what the problem is.

I like the GUI version, its more user friendly. Can you just help me out and not question? All I want are a few useful places I should look. Thanks.

Like I said, if there's no errors and things like that I can't help much.

If it simply disappears it could be hundreds of things, maybe if there's someone running GUI too on these forums he or she can reply but, we don't see the steam gui as a server here, just the standalone console.

Don't get me wrong I'd like to help you.
Are there any other options you've entered to run it?

Nope. Just opened the program, and clicked "start server".

There might be some people running SRCDS with the GUI, but not many people use the steam server GUI.
