Help! srcds won't start...

[benzwong]

Hi guys, I'm new to starting dedicated servers and I really need some help here. Here's my problem.

Recently I've just setup a CS:S dedicated server using Steam's srcds in my campus. I also installed WCS mod and everything was running fine.

I then moved the computer back home and the dedicated server just wont start. It loads, and just disappears, I assumed it crashed. Observing the process manager, srcds.exe increases in memory slowly and disappears after it reaches 300+KB.

So I thought maybe it was my router and I made sure it was port-forwarded correctly, UDP 27015 is open. I tried setting up a HL2DM server and it worked perfectly. I tried a fresh install for the dedicated server with no mods, but still, CS:S DS just wouldn't start.

After more searching on google, I decided to turn to srcds.com! But it still wouldn't startup for CS:S! Here's the console.log:

I have tried alot of ways to sort of reset everything, like deleting ClientRegistry.blob, deleting dedicated server directory, nothing seems to solve the problem.

Please help.

Thanks in advance!

Try with -verify_all in your update command.

[benzwong]

Hi thanks!

I've just tried the command
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "counter-strike source" -dir c:\srcds -verify_all

Here's what I've got:

Quote:Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation
Checking/Installing 'Counter-Strike Source Shared Content' version 69

Checking/Installing 'Base Source Shared Models' version 4

Checking/Installing 'Base Source Shared Sounds' version 4

Checking/Installing 'Base Source Shared Materials' version 8

Checking/Installing 'Source Dedicated Server' version 95

Connection Reset, WinSock Error 10054 "Connection reset by peer"

What does the last line implies?

Thanks again...

[EDIT]: Oops, I shall retry until I get it verified, sorry for not searching enough =)
[EDIT 2]: I tried for at least 10 over times and it still gives me the same message... =( boo.

correct me if im wrong but shouldnt the -verify_All command be before c:\srcds so instead of it being like this
hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "counter-strike source" -dir c:\srcds -verify_all it should be

hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "counter-strike source" -dir verify_all c:\srcds

[Mooga]

Nope, shouldn't matter. I've always used -verify_all at the end.

The place of the commands doesn't matter, they all get executed on startup.
It's just handy to keep them in the same way, so you know where they are

if this appeers Connection Reset, WinSock Error 10054 "Connection reset by peer" you server is finishing downloading

do you have Global Ban hooked up or Sourcemod? since I uploaded both GlobalBan and Sourcemod latetly on my fully working server and I got some similar stuff..
