LoL Silverdisc. Cant beat the Ban Hammer. :P I will give that bin/config/config.vdf a try, cheers. ;)
@ Cc2iscooL - Nope, i dont have Steam Client installed on my Dedi Machine and never have for around 7 years. Like i said in my OP, the L4D2 Server has been running since the game out about 3 years ago and this latest problem only occurred after updating the Server with the valve update last Thursday and hence it has got to be something in that update causing the problem. From what i can gather, there are a lot of Windows Servers having allsorts of problems since that last update sadly. - Lob (UK) On Mon, Jan 21, 2013 at 7:16 PM, <[email protected]>wrote: > Send hlds mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of hlds digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
