Does anyone have the some problems or maybe a resolution to this?

 

Thanks in advance

No problem with AS here. Did yoy try a reinstall of the game?

Maybe a corrupt steam file.

[dimitrifrom31]

does it crash on starting or randomly

[Darrylglenn]

randomly..

[dimitrifrom31]

are you running it under an user account or as local system? if system try to create an user with full control over the game server folder and over the TCA service folder (located in TCA\Monitor\Services) and run the service under this user account.

 

But first as mentionned above, redownload the files or do a hldsupdate with -verify_all

[Darrylglenn]

I redownloaded it already a couple of times. Im running it under the administrator account and not by tcadmin..

 

I got a few .MDMP files in the gameroot... can I do something with it?

[dimitrifrom31]

debug them and try with restricted user just as I told you, not admin

[NightGlow]

if system try to create an user with full control over the game server folder and over the TCA service folder (located in TCA\Monitor\Services) and run the service under this user account.

Why would you do that? The administrator account has full permission!

[dimitrifrom31]

Why would you do that? The administrator account has full permission!

 

to NOT give full permission actually as some problems can be caused by programs accessing some areas they should not and/or interfering with other programs

[Darrylglenn]

So, made a separate user who run's the gameservers.. and put a fresh install of the games online... WORKS!

Dont know what the fix was.. but im guessing the separate user.

 

Thanks for the help!
