How to have server show up on client list

[wildwillie]

How do I configure the Dedicated server so it will show up on the clients "Server list" when they select MultiPlayer ?

I saw in one post to copy the following to the parts/core folder (It did not help)

steam.dll
steamclient.dll
tier0_s.dll (Also copied the tier0_s64.dll)
vstdlib_s.dll (Also copied the vstdlib_s64.dll)


I am starting the server with

"launcher.exe -server"

I still get the "Failed to load steam ServiceServiceStart: failed to start" message in the console.

From here I can load a mission and connect to the server by direct IP, but I would like the server to show up on the client list.

Any Ideas ?

I running this on a Win 2008 Server x64 with plenty of Memory.

~S,

Do you get that error on start up though?

Try opening all ports for both incoming and outgoing comms for both Steam and Launcher.

Try running Steam before launching server. It can be empty Steam account not linked to the game.

Search the forums for this error. I think I've seen it discussed before.

~S,

It's all open as the barn door...

I'm off to bed, wait and see if anyone figures it out

Yes

Wildwillie, I suspect the key is that the -server trigger is by passing the hook from the launcher exe that enables steam "failed to start" and thus advertisments.

Of course this could be failing in client mode, but you can't see the logs.

You could try a log setup as so: make a batch file(it may work within shortcut) with the following;
launcher.exe 2>log2.txt

run batch to run game

Hi, I have same problem.
netstat -a shows :

TCP 87.250.160.18:20000 (il2 server) ok
TCP 127.0.0.1:20003 (cod server) shoudn't be 87.250.160.18 instead loopback ?
UDP 87.250.160.18:21001 *:* (il2 server) ok
UDP 87.250.160.18:27016 *:* (cod server) direct connect only

Can anyone whos server is listed check it ?
