trancemode Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 you need steam to run servrs online but go read the alienswarm config and it tells you how to run it without steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djonz Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Did you installed the server from zero?? If not, then you should try to. hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game alienswarm -dir c:/GameInstalls/AlienSwarm Also, there is an updated version of the config file lower in the topic where you took your's. You should take this one. Else, you can try to start it without TCAdmin to see if there is any errors. srcds.exe -console -game swarm -ip 192.168.1.1 -port 27015 -maxplayers 4 +exec server.cfg +map lobby Please note, there is a little mistake inside the "Server template config file". I've made a reply on the post where you found your config file. You should try correcting it. Else, you can contact me and i'll send you a "Corrected by me" version (the one we use). Edit : Game was updated recently. You can try updating hit before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
