asturmas Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi, I'm running 10 CS Servers and they don't start. All the other CS NS or CSS servers are starting fine. The error is: Unable to initialize Steam I saw this error trough the Desktop of the server enabling the "Interact With Desktop function". I've already ran Steam Update and also installed Steam on the server () but not even doing that it works. Best Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonF Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Did you open a ticket with TCAdmin about this issue? Not sure if that is you how put in that ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asturmas Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Yes, I have one ticket opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECF Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 All TCAdmin does is start the executable with the commandline you specify. After that it's on its own. If the server will not start you will need to look for support in the STEAM forums not via our support system. We do not support gameservers, only our software.

asturmas Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well, didn't I post on the right section? And IF I start the server trough the Windows Command Line it starts very well. So maybe there is a problem in TCAdmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIS-MOTHER Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 So maybe there is a problem in TCAdmin. Doubt it. Most likely there is a problem with your TCADMIN configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asturmas Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 If the game without TCAdmin runs with no problem and in the TCAdmin enviroment isn't starting very well, maybe something needs to be corrected, dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS-Liam Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If the game without TCAdmin runs with no problem and in the TCAdmin enviroment isn't starting very well, maybe something needs to be corrected, dunno. Your Answer.... Most likely there is a problem with your TCADMIN configuration. Add me on msn/xfire or send me a email and i will take a look for you if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 The server produces a Can Not Allocate Port ***** when it is started from the desktop so this is not a TCAdmin issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asturmas Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well you were starting the server on a Port already used. How did you want it to start? Changing the port to anything else it works, but in the TCAdmin enviroment it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS-Liam Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 lol, Got your msn add will have a look see if i can see problem for you asturmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS-Liam Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Taken a look at his setup, and its the same as mine and i'm not sure why its working on the desktop comand line, but not when its run by tcadmin :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asturmas Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Well, GS-Liam was really amazing spending time with me to check the problem. As it will confirm, this HAS TO be related with something wrong on TCAdmin: When starting in the desktop with EXACTLY the same command line as in TCAdmin the result is the server running very well: http://ptservidor.com/fotos/moz-screenshot-3.jpg After that I closed the HLDS console and started it trough TCAdmin with the Interact With Desktop option On, and the result is: http://ptservidor.com/fotos/steam_error.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I started the server from your desktop and got the error. Click on the server.bat file located in the C:\GameInstalls\CS folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asturmas Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Jason, Like I said you were using a port already used by another Server, I think it's a CSS server in fact, try using another port that you're sure not running: 27067 (It's the port I'm using on the testing server and it's Stopped now) Or anything else like for eg 2900. Of course if you use a port already used It won't start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS-Liam Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Correct, it wasnt anything to do with the firewall blocking any ports as the server was running fine in desktop mode, so just want to rule that out before anyone suggests that also the bat file doesnt chuck any errors at us when was started in the C:\userfiles\Admin...... location, because its then not using a port thats already in use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Switching the service user to administrator fixed the problem. Do you have a anti-virus program running on this server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asturmas Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 What is exatly fixed? I'm not able to see no CS server running yet. Nop, I don't. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asturmas Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 I just checked and the error reported on the Screenshot #2 is still showing up on every Counter Strike server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonF Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 User >> Test Check out the CS server I created for that user. I am not going to every single CS server for you and change the service user to Administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asturmas Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 If you explain me how can I do that that won't be a problem because I'm not understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asturmas Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 New servers are working, but when Going to Service Settings of each server already created and I save it says it's going to restart but it doesn't run under the configured account.
