I can't boot srcds.exe or left4dead.exe
Crashes or nothing.

[helio]

I am guessing that its new so that the server doesn't chew cpu with bots whilst empty.

My FPS is also down in the 30 range from a normal of 400 on TF2. So it looks like "standby" mode.

[helio]

yeah this game must be pretty intense, has anyone join their server yet?

[Mooga]

What command are you using to boot?

[Poag]

Clan mates are reporting game CTDs on load

[Poag]

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting L4D3 Box"
sleep 1
cd /home/**/l4d3/l4d_demo

I see no servers for l4d running, all the game lobby's tell you is no dedicated found, would you like to host a lan?

[Poag]

Got one of my guys too try connecting directly and got...

Connecting to *.*.*.*:27399...
9.329: Sending UDP connect to *.*.*.*:27399
Server using lobbies yes, requiring pw no, lobby id 0
Connection to *.*.*.*:27399 failed, server requires lobby reservation but is unreserved.

[helio]

so is your server not being forced to lan?
