Hey, I recently bought a dedicated server. First server instance runs fine but after that when I try to run the second server instance, it just closes. I guess it's some problem with the threads and all but can't figure it out.

Thanks for the help

if you're running the server from the same location as the first server there may be issues with access's. Since the first server is using the file the second instance isn't permitted due to whatever reason. You'd have to create a second srcds directory. This could be the issue unless you already have a second directory.

Thanks for replying! I am using two separate install locations but still it doesn't work. :/

Are you using a new +sv_setsteamaccount token from the first server as well?

[mudkipguy]

Different tokens. Is there something I need to enable? The OS is Ubuntu.

If I close the first server and run the second server, it works. It's something to do with how the threads are working. I have 8 threads but CSGO is thinking that I have 1. Atleast it is acting like it most probably.

I don't see why having 1 thread would be an issue other then lag of course. It shouldn't cause the server to crash unless they've added something recently to prevent multiple servers from running on the same thread. Unless you have a type of crash log or can get the output from the console I'm not sure how else i can help. It's possible you have a plugin causing conflicts as well, if they connect to a remote server or something like that for instance and are unstable when ones already connected.

Afaik, servers are single threaded aren't they? So you can only run one server on one thread, not more than that. Am I wrong? I have 8 threads on this machine but only am able to run one CSGO Server instance.

Single threaded just means the servers only utilize one thread. Other applications can still use that thread except it fills the pipeline more of what that core can produce in cpu cycles per second. The more stuff you have in its processing the lane the longer it takes for everything to complete. Logically think about it, if you only have 8 cores and run more than 8 applications/services at a single time then this shouldn't work but that's not the case. Source engine has no limit to how many servers you can run on a single thread, it's just that the performance required for more players/tickrate/packets on modern cpus are best for csgo servers to be ran on all separate threads.

Alright, that's totally different to what I knew So no fix? ;-;
