Winsock Error 10054

[bluestreak101]

Hi all,

Im trying to help my little brother setup a DoDs server on my server box and he's hit an error I cant seem to find a resolution to.

its installed everything I beleive and so far so good, but when I run SRCDS im asked to update the server.

when I run the update tool using the following command: "HLDSUpdatetool.exe -command update -game dods -dir C:\srcds -verify_all"

it runs for about 5 mins then stops on c:\srcds/orangebox\srcds.exe with the Error "Connection Reset, WinSock Error 10054 'Connection reset by peer'"

At first I just assumed it was a connect problem so tried it again, but it seems to stop in exactly the same place everytime which indicates its something else. I have tried running without -verify_all but this doesnt appear to work either.

I have search a few places and drawn a blank so far. Any ideas? would be nice to sort this for my bro.

Thanks

I actually had that. Even though it broken on srcds.exe, you should have the file.

Try running the server, see if it work

If it doesn't work, keep trying to update.

yea I've run it like a dozen times time, everytime it stops on that file. SRCDS opens fine but asks me to update, and no one can connect to the server as they all have the updates already, its really annoying me now. its just after it starts on TF2 as well.

What's your startup line?
dods now uses orange box. Make sure you are using the srcds.exe within orangebox

Code:

@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game dod +map dod_flash +maxplayers 12
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

From the very helpful tutorial on this website (as I have done previously)

Hello I have the same problem!!But the difference is that the update was running till 99,99% and it was the same error(connection reset "connection reset by peer".Please help me because I want too much to run my own dedicated server.Furthermore if I try to run the SRCDS.exe it appears the busy icon for a while but it doesn't start.I tried it with -verify_all but again the same error in 99,99%.Thanks you a lot!!!

Hi, I think I got it working, although It doesnt make sense as It has never finished updating.

I did what Mooga said and changed the code in my script to open the SRCDS.exe within the orange box folder:

Code:

@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game dod +map dod_flash +maxplayers 12
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

It not opens SRCDS.exe without problems and I dont get the update messages.

Thanks
