hey sorry for being a newbie,
I am trying to setup my own dedicated DOTA2 server here at home to run as a LAN server.
Before I start with my issue. I am already running 2 windows 2008 r2 servers (the most compatible Windows Server OS for steam source) --- one with Team Fortress 2 Mann vs Machine as a LAN server and the second with Left 4 dead 2 LAN server. Both of these are using the SteamCMD and are running in console mode (dedicated). (I will also add they are both running in Hyper-V without issues - using windows server 2012 r2 as host Virtualization) - Both of these Steam Servers are running perfectly for my family to play at home.
So I started on page 1 of this forum to install the DOTA 2 via SteamCMD (which is similar to TF2 and L4D2 -

On my third server to run DOTA 2 (following the instructions on page 1), when I run the windows command line to start the DOTA 2 server, it seems to run, then it loads up a bunch of commands and then it disappears as if to terminate the program. It goes by so fast I can't even see what the error is.
I know someone else on this post said the exact same thing for his windows setup as well, but I did not see anyone reply to his exact issues.
I do have the latest addon for the
metamod but the
d2fixups I had to grab from this source -
http://blog-noxasch.blogspot.ca/2014...ified-way.html - because the latest version on github does not have the compiled .dll and I am not sure how to do that.
Also, I saw someone adding Frota addon to DOTA2 which would be awesome.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am not too familiar with the DOTA2 setups and tricks.
