481 is now live.

Still having an issue with this and I downloaded everything to make sure it was new, checked that all the commands are typed correctly all directories but whenever I launch the srcds it starts, loads a couple of stuff and then just randomly closes off after seeming to load some data.

On the console it also says

exec: couldn't exe server.cfg

I don't have a server.cfg could this be the problem?

Cout be that the newest version of the Dota 2 test client (481) broke it,
because i got the latest metmod:source snapshot for windows (hg821) and the
latest d2fixup and every time i launch the srcds.exe it closes it self. And if i take a
look into the log file i got this error log:

While the test client will sometimes work, it isn't supported and can't really be used for actual testing of this stuff. Because they use different compile-time options or compiler version for the test client, almost all of the byte signatures used for D2Fixups and SM will differ.

As a heads up, with the next D2Fixups version (whenever it needs to be updated for another game update), the Dota 2 Spectator Client will no longer work to join servers.

In my opinion, Valve's handling of ownership of the game is done poorly. Everyone owns the game on Steam, but it won't let you do matchmaking with the spectator client. Because of this, anyone can manually connect to a lobby-less server like D2Fixups allows, completely bypassing the matchmaking backend. Therefore, I feel that it's my responsibility to add the restriction manually.

D2Fixups will also become incompatible with a certain Steam emulator (do not mention its name here) that I'm seeing commonly bundled with it. I do not support bypassing Steam nor Steam authentication.

I want to start picking after one player finished loading but the cvar doesn't work.
dota_wait_for_players_to_load_count 1

I tried adding it as a command line argument when starting the server and as a line in server.cfg . Neither works.

Like the dota_wait_for_players_to_load cvars already built into the game, and like the game mode cvar, and probably many others, it needs to be set either before the server wakes up from hibernation or before the first player joins (I've only testing by manually setting them right after startup).

I'm guessing, due to the number of complaints about server.cfg "not working", that it gets executed too early or too late for many of the cvars to take effect. You'll just have to find another way.

Ok, thanks .
