Greeets, so I'm trying to get a dedicated server up and running for CSGO and everything seems to be working just fine, except for when a player is missing a map, the player then gets disconnected without downloading the map.

I've been trying out different walktroughs without any success, these walktroughs include services such as google drive, dropbox and more.

Does anyone know anything at all that could help me getting this to work as intended? :')

use the workshop

[Bchewy]

Install apache/ngnix on your server or.. get a website to host your files.

Then all you need is :
// Fast DL
sv_downloadurl "yourfastdlurl.com"
sv_allowupload "0"
sv_allowdownload "1"

Just make sure your fastdl and your csgo directory is the same
EG:
if players want to download the map surf_hey
You'll obviously need the map surf_hey in your /csgo/maps
you will also need it to be in your url eg :[myurl.com/fastdl/maps/]

Alternatively, you can use hamilton's recommendation the workshop!
I recommend using https://github.com/GameServerManager...SM/wiki/FastDL
Good luck!

Shouldn't it be sv_allowdownload "1" when setting a fastDL link so it doesn't download from SRCDS but the URL?

I was able to fix this one myself, it just took me two days , What I did was use myself of x10hosting.com since I found that one had the best/easiest layout for the task, also most importently was in english.

It ended up looking like this

http://reborn.x10host.com/csgo/

I can highly recommend this site if anyone else runs into the same issue I did. Since the hardest task was to find a viable hosting site for me at least.

No.

sv_allowdownload and sv_allowupload only has effect in regards to downloading from / uploading to the game server.

With sv_downloadurl properly set up, you can keep both of them on 0.

Either of them at 0 will mean that you're disabling uploading/downloading of spray logos, so some users won't be able to see custom sprays for games supporting that.

Just to nitpick your URL, someone might get their .cfg wrong with your example.

If your maps are located at

www.mysite.com/downloads/maps

Then your sv_downloadurl should be

www.mysite.com/downloads

The game automatically follows the server directory structure and searches for /maps or /models or /sound etc
