When you host a ws map collection either from the command line
+host_workshop_collection 3429500680
or from typing it directly in the ds console
host_workshop_collection 3429500680
it becomes the map group.

Once your server starts you can enter this again manually to make sure you're hosting a collection
host_workshop_collection 3429500680
and then do a print_mapgroup_sv and you will see your map group has changed to the maps in the collection.

But for the server to start correctly and even be able to host a collection it FIRST has to start up with a valid map group from gamemodes_server.txt and a map specified from the mapgroup in gamemodes_server.txt.

But it looks sometime this afternoon workshop map collections broke.
I get exceptions from my server when I use host_workshop_collection and my public server and also another one version back dev server is also crashing.

This tells me something wrong has happened at the workshop web site and we will have to wait to see what happened and when it will be fixed before going any further.

got you, thank you very much.

I hope the workshop issue will be fixed soon so I can test playing with my friends.

I got something like this if I run the command manually.

Yes that is what we are seeing and all servers started doing that Sunday evening.

In the meantime while we are waiting for them to fix this you can still play ws maps.
Just use this command in the ds console to load any workshop map.
For example:
[CS2] cs_militia from CS:Source
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfil...?id=3293451334

host_workshop_map 3293451334

Another option is to use a plugin to manage your maps.
I think this is a popular one and actually hosting ws maps has been very fragile and full of trouble since csgo so this is probably a better solution anyways....

You didn't say but you would need MetaMod2 and Counter Strike Sharp installed and then install this CS# plugin..

Thank you so much for verifying we are facing the same issue.

Any idea on this?

Good job on getting MM2 and CS# installed.

You didn't include the link where you got this RTV plugin but it is probably old/outdated/not maintained.

I did a search and this one is maintained.
https://github.com/Oz-Lin/cs2-rockthevote/tree/main

SM and these SM forums were excellent for many years but SM has not (yet!) been released for CS2.
Until this happens this is becoming the place for CS2 plugins and in general any questions about CS2.
Discord / CounterStrikeSharp

I suggest that at least until SM2 is released you switch over to this discord channel
where you can for example ask the author of this RTV plugin questions directly!

Here is the invite you need to join the Discord channel / CounterStrikeSharp
https://discord.gg/Bz6uQdUX

Once you're set up on discord use this link to go directly to this maintained RTV plugin where you can post questions to the author.
https://discord.com/channels/1160907...99757362843678

Note: I don't know what map plugins are considered the best. I only run plugins I write. Before installing this plugin you could first post a question about what map plugins people like in the general category.

CounterStrikeSharp / General
https://discord.com/channels/1160907...07912445710479

When CSGO came out it took 3-4 years before I would say it was complete and enough bugs fixed and features added to be able to run a good stable server with all needed features.

CS2 seems to be following the same trend and will only have been released for two years this September,
So we have a ways to go!

After updating the RTV, it is working well now, thanks.
