If you want the server to allow intenet traffic.

Replace the ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your external intrtnet address.

For it to list in the steam game browser inertnet tab
You will need to forward port 27015 to your computers internal ip address

Thank you for the suggestion, I tried both and it literally did nothing. I.E doing the same thing it was before. I can double click to run, but it won't run. Hell even running as admin does nothing.

Hi..
Sorry to bother with a simple matter, but can you check the size of the server folder ?
Did you download the server using steamcmd?

38.1 MB on the dot, and yes I used cmd.

SteamCMD does not download all the game server files for hlds correctly right now. This has been a problem for over the last half year.

It has been reported to Valve on their github webpage.

As the friend above mentioned, steamcmd is messed up..
What can u do, since you using windows is download the server using steam tools, after the download is done you can start the server using steam or move the server files around, this version still stand-alone, even with the fact that steam adds it to the library.
If you have half life installed, its recomended to install the server on another steam library, since the server and the game will share the same files if you intall on the same library.

When you get the server files. Just remember that if you run the server from the GUI. It will use the listenserver.cfg file. If you run ithe server from the console it will use the server.cfg.

Thank you all for the help, I have one more inquiry

STEAM Validation rejected

what do?

Do you receive that error in when connecting with the game client or when you run the game server?

Only when connecting from client to server

Try turning OFF VAC on the game server.
Add -insecure to the servers target command-line

or open the liblist.gam file add change the 1 to a 0 on the line

secure "0"
