Can you tell me what's wrong?
When I try to log into my server, on a standard map, I get the message "Your map differs from the version on the server"

I log into the official server, with the same map, without any problems.

ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -DmS l4d2server ./srcds_run +ip 0.0.0.0 -port 27015 +map c1m1_hotel -autoupdate

I updated the server using this command and everything worked

PHP Code:

/path/to/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /source/s1 +app_update 222860 validate +quit

It means, map from server is different than in your own game.
One of those maps have either re-compiled or have made some tinkering.

Maps have own CRC check code when Hammer editor have compiled map.
- If someone compile another map with same name, there is different CRC code then.


If you enable logging, you see this log message when change map.

L 01/26/2024 - 00:05:58: Started map "c1m1_hotel" (CRC "-1242577269")

Steamcmd Update with -validate , like you did already, fix it. Expect if this problem relate custom maps.

Good that you solved your problem already.

*ps
People sometimes had make mistake, set same named map, with different version, to fast download and server. So clients always download wrong map than what server run.

If you can log into official servers with your game without problems,delete the server map and upload your map from pc maps folder
