Everytime I launch source dedicated server , it says "srcds.exe has stopped working"
I didn't even installed SM or anything , i just downloaded "Source Multiplayer Dedicated Server" and when i try to launch it , the error appears.

My pc is pretty clean , I format it a few weeks ago.
I don't have much things installed Besides Left 4 dead 2 , Team Fortress 2 , left 4 dead 2 dedicated server (this one works fine).

I really have no idea where the problem comes from and it's frustrating , help please.

Thanks

PS: I already know about HLDS Update Tool , but i prefer creating a Dedicated server from Source Multiplayer Dedicated Server , it takes less time and is quite stable. Except for when it doesn't launch , in this case

The SRCDS gods are not pleased with you, and want you to stop avoiding it for no good reason.

Seriously, just use the actual SRCDS out-of-Steam. If you want to speed up the re-downloads of your games, open up their .gcf files with GCFScape and drag them into your SRCDS game folders. (That might work. Maybe not. I dunno for sure, but I think it's worth a shot.)
