Server crashed after start.

So, i installed hlds to my little server computer but it always crashes when i try to start it, i dunno why

heres debug:

Anybody know why?

[loopyman]

Have you tried to reinstall the game files?

[bearz]

Yes i have tried to install the server files few times, on different users..

Code:

scandir failed:/root/hlds/./valve/SAVE
scandir failed:/root/hlds/./platform/SAVE

have you installed the server as root? don't do that. use a normal user, and use the same user to run the server...

[bearz]

nope.. doesn't help

What CPU do you have? Write "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and paste contents. Some very old CPUs can't handle the server.

Do you have some weirdo linux distribution?

Nice server name.

the server did work in this computer when i had windows server 2003

Just what I thought. There should be sse2 in the list. At least that's what I've read.

I'd say with 90% certainty that the problem is the old CPU. Don't run servers on lagipaska. That's what you'll learn

This is strange.

[bearz]

Okay.. I guess i have to buy new server. So the CPU has to support sse2? Isn't normal "sse" enough?

[loopyman]

Well, if it ran under server 2003, then the processor is not to blame, but possibly it could be the combination of processor / operating system.
If you need a dedicated server, all my systems work fine with game servers, and they are cheap too!

[BehaartesEtwas]

err, there are different binaries for the server. it uses currently the amd optimized binary, not the i686, so it does not require sse(2) !

to be sure try to start with the "-binary ./hlds_i486" option. that should run on any i486 compatible cpu, i.e. any PC cpu...

Tried that, didn't help :/

Eh, its an old AMD anyway, you can build a dual core intel for under $300...

Okay. Great. I didn't know that. Could you tell me where I can find the $300. I can't find it.

[loopyman]

I will sell you one for $300, brand new, I order them in lots of 5 or more for a little discount.
Or if you want to buy one for $300, and then colo it on 1.5TB of 100mbps for $50 per month, I can do that too :3
