Whenever trying to launch srcds.exe for a Gmod dedicated server it wont launch.
I have installed the server using the new SteamCMD command prompt.
One time it did launch and I also have launched it using administrator privileges (with no success), so I doubt Windows 8 is the problem seeing that it worked before the steampipe update.
It shows the pointer with the loading ring for a moment then does nothing.
I used the commands:
[CODE]login anonymous[/CODE]
[CODE]app_update 4020[/CODE]
Your help would be greatly appreciated :dance:
You can't just open srcds.exe and it will run the server, you have to provide commands for it.
Create a start.bat file in the same dir as the srcds.exe and add these contents to it:
[code]
srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct -port 27015 +maxplayers 16
[/code]
Then launch the start.bat script and your server should start up.

Why did it work before without me having to do this?
I was confused because the first time I started the server and it worked it brought up the old srcds UI. Thanks for the help! :D
