Hey,
First time trying to get anything like a dedicated server to work and I'm really struggling so any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to run a Counter Strike Source server for me and some friends to expand on a clan we lead (not the most original use of a dedicated server, lol, but still we'd really like to give it a go). I'm trying to just run it at the moment from my desktop (with a fairly good spec and internet connection) but cannot get it to work properly at all.
I followed your tutorial here as best I could and managed to get the cstrike files all downloaded and I can start the dedicated server from Windows --> Run but not the GUI shortcut (problem one).
I'm also having difficulties connecting. I'm trying to just connect for testing purposes as of now, so am attempting it from my laptop (on the same network as the server PC). I can successfully see the dedicated server over LAN but cannot Join the game (I could briefly earlier after changing some of the port forwarding settings on my router but now it seems to have reverted to the old problems :-/) and I can't see it at all over the net (tried plugging the IP address into Favourites and it says "Server not responding" - again earlier it was viewable whilst I could connect over LAN, even registered that I was playing when I could see it but I couldn't Join the game then or add to favourites, just see it).
I can't understand why the problems have come back, or why the GUI wont open. If it helps when I run the server it tells me "Incorrect Price Blob Version" but I can't run the UpdateTool as it just flashes on then off screen and can't find the .BAT file for it...
Like I said any help greatly appreciated :lol:
