Also, remember that the command line string can be accessed by other processes running on the box. Be aware of that when deciding whether to specify your logon credential there.

I'm assuming this is a TF game server, in which case the "successfully logged in" messages and the FAQ link refer to the TF gameserver account. It's totally separate to the Steam gameserver account, and totally unrelated. Perhaps you aren't specifying the login credentials early enough in the boot process?

Someone should check if the failure message is being sent the way it was supposed to.

It can't be on the server.cfg Strangely enough, I'm getting two messages. First one that goes: Assigned anonymous gameserver Steam ID [A-1:2176588802<tel:2176588802>(4095)]. And then two more that says: Successfully logged into gameserver account ******.

For more information about gameserver accounts, visit https://support.steampowered.com /kb_article.php?ref=2825-AFGJ-3513. Still, when I send the status command, I get a: steamid : [A-1:2176588802<tel:2176588802>(4095)] (90089582615075842) So the message saying the account login is failing isn't quite working for me. That's what I was getting confused about. Isn't quite as clear as one would imagine. I'll go set it on the right place and then com back to tell the results.

That means you can either put it in the autoexec.cfg, a file that is called with +exec from the command line or on the commandline itself. Anywhere else, for example the file that you use as the +servercfgfile, is too late and won't work. The message you see in your log is quite clear isn't it? Logging in was succesfull, so you can safely assume you did it right. If it didn't work, for example when sv_setsteamaccount is called too late, you'll get the following error message: Warning: Game server already logged into steam. You need to use the sv_setsteamaccount command earlier. You can verify if the server is correctly logged in by typing "status" in the console and check the "steamid" line. If the steamid displayed there starts with "A-1" it is an anonymous steam ID which means the server isn't logged in with it's proper steam ID. Those start with a G I believe.
