Because the game is based on the source engine and it could be that someone already made a config that probably work's.

 

If you aint got a answer

 

Why do people bother to reply?

I have to say this board seem to be getting more and more hostile, like most mother's use to say if you don't have nothing nice to say shut up.

Has anybody made one yet? I'm very interested in using it if somebody has.

Working on one....if you are in such a hurry, learn to make one yourself!

 

It seems due to the crap nature of steam like normal they cannot handle the load of a new game coming online. With this most of the dedicated servers cannot get onto the network to broadcast, as such are lauching as lan only servers...at least what i can test with multiple boxes in multiple diverse locations, any suggestions?

You need to install steam on the box and have it running in the background.

 

Here is my config for it.

To clarify, It's on HLDSUpdateTool - game name is alienswarm - but launches in lan mode unless you have steam running.

 

************************************************

* Unable to load Steam support library. *

* This server will operate in LAN mode only. *

Judging by the in-game menu, it uses similar matchmaking commands as l4d/l4d2 (assigning it to a group's id number to have it show in the main menu)

 

Edit:

Also, your default command-line is wrong, you haven't put a space before +map.

Hopefully they will release one without running STEAM =/ might take a while tho.

You don't need the full Steam client running. I created a blog post outlining this here:

It'd probably help if you could copy and paste the console output so you problem can be diagnosed a little easier.

well i have set up a config, and the game server creates, it appears as an active server in my tcadmin, but doesnt ping through steam / hlsw

[Dan M]

Do you either.

 

A.) Have Steam running on the box, in the background?

 

-or-

 

B.) Have included the four DLL files in your install files, according to my blog post?: http://www.jiles.eu/10324/alien-swarm-revised-server-workaround/

So...i followed the directions in the blog to start AS without having steam running. Copied all file over, used the credited TCA config but im not able to start the server at all.

 

Am i missing something?
