I just did a fresh install of EVERYTHING and still the same error starting the server. This is how I reinstalled the server.....
I used the steps on installing a server from here: http://www.srcds.com/db/engine.php?subaction=showfull&id=1097362093 I re downloaded hldsupdatetool.exe and installed to c:\srcds. Went to the command prompt and entered: cd \srcds hldsupdatetool Hldsupdatetool updated to bootstrapper version 35 I closed out of the command prompt and reopened and entered: cd \srcds hldsupdatetool -command update -game "l4d_full" -dir c:\srcds The server files are downloading at this point. At the end of the download I get this error: connection reset, winstock 10054 "connection reset by peer" Is that normal? I then copied in my server.cfg and started up the L4D server and got the same error for tier0_s.dll and typing status in to the console crashed the server. I was getting pretty PO'd at this point so I took a break from the L4D server and starting working on the TF2 server. I moved the TF2 folder back in to the srcds folder and re-ran the update tool for TF2 with -verify_all. When the update tool finished the L4d server just started working as it should and no tier0_s.dll error. Now that has me completely confused but I won't sweat it as the L4D server and TF2 server are working again. Thanks for the suggestions they really helped me nail this problem down! :) > From: l...@hypernia.com > To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com > Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 13:52:05 -0400 > Subject: Re: [hlds] L4D dedicated server still lan only help? > > Hi, > > I don't think your config is the issue, as the errors you are getting look > like there is something wrong with your server files rather than with your > server.cfg. > > You can try the simple cfg here: > http://gamerslifeline.com/left-4-dead-server-config-file-server-cfg-t3297.ht > ml > > You will most likely find, if you remove your config all together, it will > still crash.
