You need the missLoad command to load the map.

Im having another look at this again, hopefully because the next update will make it useable.

Anyhow, its been a while so Im rusty but I have followed the instructions from this thread and im getting nowhere really.

Ive logged into steam on the server hardware using my own steam account and downloaded CLoD.

If I stay logged on with my personal account all is well i can start the server as far as getting the command promt launcher box up.

However if I then log off and log in with the other accout we used to use and type "H:\steam\Steam.exe -silent -login blahblah blahblah -applaunch 63950 -server" all I get is the steam store page, I guess trying to sell me the game.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello all ...

I'm setting up a dedicated server to the squad "= AN =" and I'm using to launch the CMD is the command line: ("C: \ Program Files \ Steam \ steam.exe"-silent-log xxxx xxxxxx in Brackets! Applaunch-63,950-server-pwd xxx) the problem is that when I put the password and run a bat file (clinte PC) I can not enter the server. CONNECTION TIMEOUT

Could someone tell me what might be happening?

Tks

apache

Basha I have read that.

Can you confirm for me how you are running your dedicated server: is it using a steam account that you used to pay for the game or using a seperate one just for the server.

Hi, i created a Steam account for my clan and sent a gift to there for the full game...foolish maybe.

I wouldnt say foolish but I dont see why people should have to pay for dedicated servers.

Without online support this is a waste of space.

You need a space between -server and -pwd
