I can't get my server to start.......I followed the guide but when I exec server.cfg it errors out saying alot of dvars not found and then crashes......any ideas?

Are you able to post the error(s)? Someone might be able to determine the errors with more ease if they know the specific errors you're dealing with

Well when I run this config it works fine..

But this is the one that errors out all the time......

Post the error so I can see which dvars are causing it

i know already its the fps


you have it
// FPS
//set sv_fps "1000"


and it should be
// FPS
set sv_fps "20"


should never be over 20 as this speeds up bomb timers and overall gameplay this could be it


here is how it should be and remember to add

+exec dedicated.cfg +set sv_punkbuster 1 +map_rotate

to the and of you shortcuts properties

replace the dedicated.cfg with what ever you have named you config file and leave a space after your target ie mines looks like this

"E:\games\call of duty 4\iw3mp.exe" +exec dedicated.cfg +set sv_punkbuster 1 +map_rotate +set ui_maxclients "52"

notice the space after the iw3mp.exe''

and i also get some errors well quite a few actualy but im sure this is normal because it runs with no problems

you should be able to copy and paste the whole thing and it should run fine if you had it on you current configs punkbuster would not be enabled just to let you know by adding those commands to the shortcut it will let you have punkbuster on aslong as you not using any mods


and remember to update punkbuster or it will kick everybody
