<ul style="color: #fef3c7; line-height: 1.8;">
|

<li>Consider using non-standard ports to reduce automated attacks</li>
|
||||
<li>If using cloud hosting, configure security groups properly</li>
|
||||
<li>Monitor connection attempts and unusual traffic patterns</li>

<h2 id="troubleshooting">🔧 Troubleshooting</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Won't Start</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Check Server Logs</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># View recent log entries
|
||||
tail -f server.log
|
||||
|
||||
# Or check system logs
|
||||
journalctl -u gameserver -f
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Port Already in Use</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Check what's using port 27015
|
||||
sudo lsof -i :27015
|
||||
# Or Windows:
|
||||
netstat -ano | findstr :27015
|
||||
<pre><code># Find what's using the port
|
||||
sudo lsof -i :[PORT]
|
||||
sudo netstat -tulpn | grep [PORT]
|
||||
|
||||
# Kill process or change port
|
||||
./srcds_run -game cstrike -port 27016 ...
|
||||
# Kill the process or change server port
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Missing Libraries (Linux)</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Ubuntu/Debian
|
||||
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
|
||||
sudo apt update
|
||||
sudo apt install lib32gcc-s1 lib32stdc++6
|
||||
|
||||
# CentOS/RHEL
|
||||
sudo yum install glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
<h4>Missing Dependencies</h4>
|
||||
<p>Ensure all required dependencies are installed. Check the error messages for missing libraries or packages.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Connection Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Server Not Listed in Browser</h4>
|
||||
<h4>Can't Connect to Server</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify server is running:</strong> <code>ps aux | grep server</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check port is listening:</strong> <code>netstat -an | grep [PORT]</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify firewall rules</strong> (see Ports section above)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check server IP:</strong> Use external IP, not localhost</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Router/NAT:</strong> Ensure port forwarding is configured</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>High Latency/Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check sv_lan:</strong> Must be <code>sv_lan 0</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Verify firewall:</strong> UDP 27015 must be open</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Wait 5-10 minutes:</strong> Steam master server updates are slow</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Use direct connect:</strong> In game console: <code>connect IP:27015</code></li>
|
||||
<li>Check server resource usage (CPU, RAM, disk I/O)</li>
|
||||
<li>Verify network bandwidth is adequate</li>
|
||||
<li>Consider server location relative to players</li>
|
||||
<li>Check for background processes consuming resources</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Players Can't Connect</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Test from external location
|
||||
nc -u -v YOUR_SERVER_IP 27015
|
||||
|
||||
# Check server console
|
||||
status
|
||||
sv_lan
|
||||
</code></pre>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Performance Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>Low FPS / Stuttering</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check CPU usage:</strong> <code>top</code> or <code>htop</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Reduce player count:</strong> Lower <code>-maxplayers</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Disable SourceTV:</strong> <code>tv_enable 0</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check plugins:</strong> Disable plugins to identify performance issues</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h4>Server Lag</h4>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li><strong>Monitor resources:</strong> Use <code>htop</code> or <code>top</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check disk I/O:</strong> Use <code>iotop</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Review server logs</strong> for errors or warnings</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Reduce player count</strong> or increase server resources</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Optimize configuration</strong> based on server capacity</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>High Ping</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check rates:</strong> <code>sv_minrate 10000</code>, <code>sv_maxrate 0</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Network bandwidth:</strong> 0.5Mbps per player minimum</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Geographic location:</strong> Host near player base</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h4>Memory Leaks</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Monitor memory usage
|
||||
free -h
|
||||
top -p $(pgrep -f server)
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Plugin Issues</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4>SourceMod Not Loading</h4>
|
||||
<pre><code># Check MetaMod loaded
|
||||
meta list
|
||||
|
||||
# Check SourceMod
|
||||
sm version
|

<h2 id="performance">Performance Optimization</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Server Tuning</h3>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Remove plugin:</strong> Move .smx file out of <code>plugins/</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check compatibility:</strong> Ensure plugin supports CS:Source</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Update SourceMod:</strong> Get latest stable</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Check error logs:</strong> <code>addons/sourcemod/logs/</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>CPU:</strong> Ensure adequate CPU allocation; most game servers are single-threaded</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>RAM:</strong> Allocate sufficient memory; monitor usage and adjust as needed</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Disk:</strong> Use SSD storage for better I/O performance</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Network:</strong> Ensure stable, low-latency connection</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Custom Map Issues</h3>
|
||||
<h3>Operating System Optimization</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Increase file descriptor limits

|
||||

|
||||
|

<h4>Map Won't Download</h4>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Set up FastDL:</strong> <code>sv_downloadurl "http://yoursite.com/css/"</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Compress files:</strong> Use bzip2 (.bsp.bz2)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Organize files:</strong> Mirror server structure (maps/, materials/, models/, sound/)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|

<h4>Missing Textures</h4>

<h2>Performance Optimization</h2>
|

<h3>Monitoring</h3>
|

<p>Set up monitoring to track server health:</p>
|

<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Use SSD storage:</strong> Faster map loads</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Source engine is single-threaded:</strong> High clock speed CPU important</li>
|

<li><strong>Limit SourceTV spectators:</strong> <code>tv_maxclients 5</code></li>

<h2>Security Best Practices</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Strong RCON password:</strong> 20+ characters</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Firewall RCON:</strong> Whitelist admin IPs (TCP 27015)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Keep server updated:</strong> Weekly <code>app_update 232330 validate</code></li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Use sv_pure:</strong> <code>sv_pure 1</code> for competitive integrity</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Monitor logs:</strong> Watch for exploits</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Secure SourceMod admins:</strong> Use Steam ID authentication</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|

<h3>Backup Strategy</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code>#!/bin/bash
|
||||
# backup.sh - Run via cron
|
||||
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
|
||||
BACKUP_DIR="/backups/gameserver"
|
||||
SERVER_DIR="/home/gameserver/server"
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Updating Server</h2>
|
||||
<pre><code># Stop server
|
||||
rcon quit
|
||||
# Or: killall srcds_linux (Linux) / taskkill /IM srcds.exe (Windows)
|
||||
# Create backup
|
||||
tar -czf $BACKUP_DIR/backup_$DATE.tar.gz -C $SERVER_DIR .
|
||||
|
||||
# Run SteamCMD update
|
||||
cd /home/steam/steamcmd
|
||||
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /path/to/css-server +app_update 232330 validate +quit
|
||||
|
||||
# Restart server
|
||||
cd /path/to/css-server
|
||||
./srcds_run -game cstrike +map de_dust2 ...
|
||||
# Keep only last 7 days
|
||||
find $BACKUP_DIR -name "backup_*.tar.gz" -mtime +7 -delete

<h3>Firewall Configuration</h3>
|
||||
<pre><code># Minimal firewall - only allow necessary ports
|
||||
sudo ufw default deny incoming
|
||||
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/tcp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow [SERVER_PORT]/udp
|
||||
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp # SSH
|
||||
sudo ufw enable
|
||||
</code></pre>
