Hi all

I need your help to activate VAC protection on my dedicated CounterStrike 1.6 Steam server

I run the server with the following command line:

./hlds_run -game cstrike -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xx -secure +maxplayers 16 +map de_aztec -autoupdate -port 27015

But it doesn't activate

In the console I see this error that may be related

tcpconnection.cpp (1017) : Assertion Failed: Tried to initiate an outbound connection to 162.254.195.66:27017, bound to local address 127.0.1.1:26900.  An ephemeral local port should be used for outbound TCP conections!  How does this work?

Does anyone understand what may be happening?

Thanks

remove ip and port from command line

It does not work. I have two servers, run only one without IP and Port and VAC was not activated.

And anyway, I need to set the port in the command to raise the server because one is with port 27015 and the other with port 27017.

Thanks

Try this one instead:

./hlds_run -game cstrike -tos -noipx +map de_aztec +maxplayers 16 +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +port xxxxx +autoupdate

There is no need to set something like "secure", it is enabled by default

Hi, thanks for you answer

I try this:

Server1

./hlds_run -game cstrike -tos -noipx +map de_aztec +maxplayers 16 -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -port 27015 -autoupdate

Server2

./hlds_run -game cstrike -tos -noipx +map de_aztec +maxplayers 10 +servercfgfile server2.cfg -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -port 27017 -autoupdate

But it doesn't work, look, the shield logo doesn't appear



The second and third servers are mine

And I continue with the communication problems in the console.

Do I need to open some ports in my firewall for VAC?

[Bacardi]

try set ports every tenth
-port 27015
-port 27025
-port 27035

...maybe server reserve some ports for other things, like hltv.


*edit
or try simple way first.
-game cstrike +map de_aztec

Thanks Bacardi.

I tried everything you tell me and it did not work, it still does not activate. I no longer know what to review.

[Bacardi]

-sport <port>*- Specifies the VAC port the server should use. Default is 26900.

*Note:You only need to change -sport if VAC connections fail through the primary port.

Did you may set "sv_lan 1" in your config?

[facundoacdc]

I was testing with the solutions they propose, but I was not successful.

Look at what I mark in yellow.



My root folder is called "steam" and not "steamcmd" so it can't run the steamcmd.sh file, investigating I saw that this is used by the -autoupdate command. In the event that I set the actual script directory, are the server binaries updated every day and I lose all my settings?

Seeing the web I see this in an example and on my console I don't see it.

Connection to Steam servers successful.
VAC secure mode is activated.
MasterRequestRestart
Your server will be restarted on map change.

Thanks
