L4D2 Server wont bind to ip and start after update

[Johnny5_Hull]

Has anyone else experienced this.

 

Basically since the last update, L4D2 servers are having some serious problems binding to an ip, basically throwing up the following error...

I have tried everything, and I mean everything, different ip's different ports, running the server from a bat file, from within TCA, with no plugins whatsoever and the list goes on.

 

I'm hoping its a silly thing I have missed, but something tells me it isnt.

 

If anyone can shed any light on this I would be eternally grateful.

This can be marked as fixed/resolved.

 

The issue wasn't L4D2, or any other HL based Game, it was Brink preventing them from starting due to rogue ports

Brink FTW!

 

Good program to find those pesky rouge processes ---> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653

Nice one ECF, we do use that for general process finding, however I find that for net based hosting services CurrPorts is better as it also gives the IP that the port/service is running on

Not as many features as Process explorer, but more usefull in its own way.
