My appreciation for the legend behind this guide cannot be expressed strongly enough. Instructions had me up and running within half an hour. Thank you so much!

I followed the guide and cannot find which step I went wrong on. I have everything setup like you do, and have the port forwards done. But when my friends try to connect they get a fail message. Any tips?
are they connecting thru console cmd? do you have firewall blocking inbound on that port (on your pc)? what error do they get? I haven't tried this yet but those are some steps to try
Thank you for a great guide. My friends can't join the server though. It says that it is not able to connect. Do you have a suggestion on what i'm doing wrong?
I don't understand... when you type app_update command is it gonna download the games whole files? or is it gonna install the updates on our own game files?
Not sure if you'll respond or not but everytime I open the server, it re-writes the server.cfg. I even tried making it read-only but since it replaces the server.cfg everytime I open the server, I was wondering why that happens and how do I fix it?
Hi i get this error when doing the start.bat file failed to initialize steam network SDK for game server, could not determine steam client install directory I have installer SteamCMD. Anyone know how to fix it?
Hello, so I followed video / guide you forgot to finish editing the server.cfg file mentioned at 8:50 of the video. Also, my server says 64 Players, how to change that? Thanks, On a side note, i launched the game and the bot doesn't move. What am I missing?
Seems no one knows the answer to this question. I can't find how to give a user admin rights anywhere. It's nice to have this server but I can't use it in game so it's worthless.
Bro when i go to the Create a new game server account and click create then it shows Sorry! An error was encountered while processing your request: Failed to create account: 24 (Limited user account) What to do now please help
I followed the guide (Used SteamCMD for dedicated server), after i install the game files from steamcmd (by start.bat), i can't start server, when i'm opening start.bat again, it just make a verification of files, and than window is automatically closed
Hey, i Need your help! I hosted a Server on a Site and i want to make it 6v6 competitive. I dont know how.. there is no gamemode_server.cfg just for each gamemode…what can i do? I dont even have rights in Game for Commander :(
I had problem with server.cfg document, every time i restarted server it got re wrote on default text. I fixed it by deleting validate command on .bat file, what verify and re download "corrupted" files.
My idea was that I'm in an area without good servers, 23/50 ping in each game, so I was thinking of dedicating a gaming PC to that purpose and if I would make money with that, great. Is that possible?
I’m nit able to get server token, i made a new steam account and verified email and phone no. But its showing error when I click on create after filling add id and memos. What should i do??
My server doesn't appear in the community tabs under "Internet". It's a bit weird coz I used to have a csgo server before and it used to work perfectly... But at the same time I can see other servers under the "Internet" tab... Am I missing something? My friends are able to connect to the server by adding to favorites or by using connect command... But even they can't find the server listed under "Internet" in community servers list... Is 730 the right app id for generating the server token for Cs2 as well?
Valve still need to update and release the CS2 dedicated server, so for now we use 730 (the game's id) instead of 740. I would assume as soon as they are done patching up the 740 cs2 dedicated server they'll release it. This is all we have for now. And when they do i'll make sure to upload another video for that too :) This is the best we have for now.
@@leaf5216 Yes u r right, they have removed it... I guess like TroubleChute mentioned the only way right now is to wait till Valve does something about it then
I get this error any advice? Update state (0x0) unknown, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0) Error! App '730' state is 0x202 after update job. Updating Workshop items for App '730'. Update state (0x0) : Timed out waiting for update to start, bailing.
