Problem with dedicated server
#1
OK I've been having a few issues with a dedicated server I run recently, the main one being content missing but that was my fault and I rectified it. The problem that then sprang up is a very unusual one. No matter what I specify in a cfg file or try to change with the startup command or even in console (using srcds.exe in gui mode) the maxplayers *always* stays at 0/1 and VAC secured mode isn't enabled. The VAC secure isn't an issue right now as even with the limit of 0/1 players nobody, even myself, can see the server. It doesn't show up on LAN or in browser by IP. I've noticed on another forum that a few users are having exactly the same issue and it started exactly the same time, a few days ago.

I'm fairly new to running a dedicated server but the fact that I had it running, albeit with missing content, shows me that I had it set up properly. It was working for over a week without serious issues and then this started after I downloaded the tf2 content and it thought it was a tf2 server. I've done a complete reinstall and started over but the same issue is there. If anyone can help with this I'd really appreciate it as it's driving me insane. I've tried using console instead of GUI and that seemed to work but I couldn't be sure, I'm going to check later.

Whats your command line? Console is way better than GUI.

srcds.exe -game garrysmod +map gm_construct -maxplayers 4

I've tried it even just specifying the game and using the GUI to configure the rest but it gives the same result. The thing that concerns me most is that it happened yesterday and happens with a clean install.

YOU HAVE TO USE CONSOLE TO USE THE OTHER COMMANDS!

The only way the map, maxplayers, etc works is if it is done in CLI!!!

EX:
srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct -maxplayers 4

Yes and if you'd read what I'd said instead of using your capslock and !!!!!!!!! you'd see that I said I've used it without and there's no difference, same error.

I doubt this would work......but give it a shot Wink. Try +maxplayers.
