SRCDS slow start

[Markitos Hoppus]

Hi, This is the second or third time I install a source dedicated server because of this problem:


SRCDS hangs them for minutes.

Recently I found that the problem is related with internet, I blocked on my firewall the srcds at startup and started in about 10 seconds, then I allowed it to access the internet and all was nice until I tried to changelevel.

I tried to change startup commands, deleting -autoupdate, setting -verify_all ... etc, and nothing worked. Any ideas?


P.S.: The server lasts starting, but when I make a changelevel, it hangs again for minutes.

My start line is: srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 10 -autoupdate

Sorry for my english, im spanish

Shot when it starts:
The error must be "Incorrect Price Blob version", but i dont know what it is about.

Ok, i found on the linux srcds the solution with the autoexec.cfg. Why is this temporarily? My HLDS installation is up-to-date.

And about the error "Material "sprites/bubble"..."? Thanks for all.

I'm not sure if I've understood your question right.
But I'd quess it's like this, you're asking about why your autoexec.cfg's content are only temporarily? If so, it's because the content in the server.cfg will overwrite the autoexec.cfg's content.

The "Material "sprites/bubble"..." error can be ignored. It's a standard bug.

Run your HLDSUpdateTool.exe with verify_all.(And you must include the same commands agian, as you used first time).

Ok, I understand.

About the temporarily fix, was about this quote:

This should resolve your problem temporarily - but this problem appeared back in Nov 06.

Have you added -autoupdate to your startup commands?

Now I understand what he said

Thank you so much.
