I know what you you mean, I couldnt really think it was sp1 also. Here is some background
the boxes are absolutely identical (they are actually a ghost of each other.) 12 contain w2k3 patched all the way up except sp1 3 contain w2k3 with sp1 All have the same virus scan and programs installed, and are running exactly the same hl1, hl2, and cod files. (I have a central install box) All have the same settings except whatever sp1 sets as default security settings. I have attempted to run cs 1.6. I use the same command line on all the serverers except for the ip the command line is: c:\gameservers\cs\hlds.exe -console -game cstrike -maxplayers 20 +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +map de_dust I have tried the -nojoy and -noipx also no result. The error is : category 100 event id 1000 Faulting application hlds.exe, version 4.1.1.1, faulting module hlds.exe Here is the dr watson event id : 4097 The application, C:\gameservers\cs\hlds\hlds.exe, generated an application error The error occurred on 04/19/2005 @ 21:20:50.828 The exception generated was c0000005 at address 01705828 (hlds!CreateInterface) Now to resolve this, I simply uninstalled sp1 and patched the machine up to where the others are. The same files, and the same command line now work. Install sp1 and then they stop working again with this error. If it is not related to sp1, I'm stumped as to what else it could be. I am sure there must be a way to get it running with sp1 perhaps a heapsize setting or some such. Its good to know that srcds and cod work fine though. dex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2005 9:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [hlds] Windows 2003 with sp1 = no hlds "HL1"? Please define the mod you want to run. We have multiple Win2K3 servers with SP1 and all are running fine. I would suspect something amiss in your pull of the files or with your command startup line before I would suspect SP1 having anything to do with it. There may be something else going on in the OS that would prevent it running but I can't attribute it to SP1 without some further information. Let's start with your command line (minus any sensitive information) and a copy of the errors you are receiving.

I have implemented 3 with sp1 on new installs. They are unable to run hlds (hl1) the server starts, but then shuts down with an exception in the event log. These machines are identical. The ones with no sp1 can run it fine, once I uninstalled sp1 from one of the machines it is able to run hlds again. Reinstall it and it wont run. It appears hlds has an issue with sp1 on w2k3. By the way srcds runs fine as do other dedicated servers. It apparently is just hlds. Anyone get hlds (hl1) working on w2k3 sp1? dex _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
