Confirmed, you HAVE to run steam in order for the servers to show in the list. The account doesn't need to own the game though. Luckily I have some spare accounts in my back pocket.

[peace]

Confirmed by tests or its official? its very sad if its true

[Darthkatzs]

By tests obviously. Don't think they care enough to tell us about it.

[peace]

SOLVED: Put Steam.dll to server root directory.

 

Console:

Steam Master Servers found (2). Server will be Internet Server listed.

[Darthkatzs]

OMG, Perfect!

I was already creating a service to run steam on my servers as SYSTEM, otherwise it didn't work with the tcadmin servers, lol.

Oh dear. I had a thought that this might happen. It's IW for you. With all the complaining from previous games not being able to host dedicated servers, they gave the ability this time but for a price. Looks like GSP's will need to own loads of keys / accounts for each game server to be able to auth itself.

 

I am hoping this is not the case but if it is then I can see another petition even bigger than last time and the next release of a COD game will not be as popular and will fail.

 

IW wake up will you!

[Spitfire]

steam.dll from the steam client?

[peace]

Query protocol is HALFLIFE2.

 

The only thing I cant figure out yet it what ports is to set in RCON PORT, DEFAULT and QUERY and where to put them (net_port and so on). Its messed up.

You're wrong, if you have the files you don't even have to own the game.

[pesultra]

yeah surely its a matter of them accepting connections, maybe they havent enabled the service yet

[Darthkatzs]

Got 3 working servers up. Not gonna bother with ports, I'll just leave it standard and give everyone different ip's.

[peace]

Did you solve bandwidth issue? Or it still randomly happens?

Is IP binding not working? I have noticed no example command lines in this thread have IP specified.

[peace]

+set net_ip is working

[peace]

Did any one solve Invalid server configuration - insufficient upstream bandwidth 0 kbps for 18 clients. Minimum 566 kbps required.?

[Spitfire]

With an empty Server.cfg my MW3 Console is still Freezing on Executing server config "server.cfg"

[Gunslinger]

The Steam servers are ramped, can't even download the server files

 

By the time I get them hopefully somebody will have a working TCA config!!

[peace]

Here's beta TCA config. Its not completely finished but its working. Tested with 2 servers on 1 IP.

 

Notice: place all dspl and dsr files in main folder. Use steam.dll.

 

Servers that are currently running with this config:

^2GameNest.ru Test Server

^2GameNest.ru Test Server #2

Call of Duty 8.txt

Thanks Peace

 

About the bandwidth error, I have read somewhere else the command line needs ALL the ports adding to avoid this.

Thanks -

 

Can you please upload your server.cfg please?

[dimitrifrom31]

the upstream seems to be a random bug, got it every now and then usually after 3 or 4 restarts it works.

 

Problem is I can run the server manually with a .bat but not from TCAdmin (even though using the exact same command line).

 

When ran from tcadmin its stuck on Executing server config "server.cfg"

[peace]

I uploaded it few times. Its in config.

[deadheart]

Files will still not download been trying since 1am.

 

Wondering if anyone can upload the files to us?

 

We could donate a small fee if need be

[gemcneill]

Are the issue everyone having coming from the dedicated server itself, or from tcadmin? Also has there been an official word on how to run dedicated servers from the command line yet?
