I added -console to my launch options and it ends up like this. It gets stuck at this part.

+exec server.cfg removed ends up like this. No noticeable progress after 5 minutes.

Does it happen if you remove the addons folder? (And in -console mode)

@StealtHack You're not specifying a map I believe. Put "+map <mapname>" in the command-line (without the quotes).

I hope this helps!

Thanks.

Thanks! I totally forgot about that since you don't have to do that with the green GUI. It's working fine now.

I tried validating the server's files with app_update 232250 validate in SteamCMD and that fixed it for me.

Hello everyone, I already posted this in different thread.
Here's a fix.

BACKUP YOUR OLD PLATFORM AND DEDICATED.DLL FILE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS!

Also, I ran into a problem when using this fix - players can't see their own hats. They can see other players' hats just fine, though. So I think using console mode will be better than using this fix.

Yep, same here. The only way to run a server right now is by switching to the "console mode".
