Errors
Guides de configuration de serveurs CS 1.6, correctifs, développement de plugins et administration.
Fix: SteamCMD 'Failed to install app 90 (No subscription)'
The 'No subscription' error on app 90 almost always means you logged into SteamCMD with a personal account instead of anonymous. Here is the correct install command and the other causes.
Fix: I'm Not Getting Admin Rights (users.ini Ignored)
Why AMX Mod X does not recognise your admin - SteamID vs name-based auth, Reunion/non-Steam IDs, account flags, and the amx_reloadadmins step - diagnosed the way admins actually break.
Fix: Protocol 48 vs 47 Mismatch (Clients Rejected)
Some clients get 'This server is using a different protocol' because CS 1.6 has two engine protocols, 47 and 48. Understand which client uses which and accept both with dproto.
Fix: Players Kicked for 'Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket'
The 'Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket' kick means the server rejected the client's Steam auth. Either allow non-Steam clients with Reunion/dproto, or fix the Steam auth path. Both covered.
Fix: 'Reliable channel overflowed' Disconnects
What 'Reliable channel overflowed' really means, which plugins and HUD/menu spam cause it, and how to stop the per-client netchannel from bursting past its buffer.
Fix: My CS 1.6 Server Doesn't Show in the Internet Server List
A methodical checklist for a CS 1.6 server that runs fine but never appears in the internet server browser: sv_lan, heartbeats, inbound UDP, NAT, and the master server.
Fix: Server Only Visible on LAN, Not on the Internet
Your server shows up on LAN but not in the internet list. Nine times out of ten it is sv_lan 1, a blocked UDP port, or the server never heartbeating the master. Full checklist.
Fix: 'PF_precache_model: Model overflow'
Why the engine aborts with PF_precache_model: Model overflow, how the fixed precache table works, and how to find and cut the plugin or map that blew the limit.
Fix: Non-Steam Players Can't Join My Server
Non-Steam clients get rejected at connect because your server has no non-Steam auth provider. Install and configure Reunion on ReHLDS or dproto on HLDS the right way.
Fix: Players Show Choke and Loss on the Scoreboard
Choke and loss look similar but have opposite causes: choke is your server hitting a rate cap, loss is real packet loss. How to tell them apart with net_graph and fix each.
Fix: 'Connection failed after 4 retries' on Your Server
The connect handshake behind 'Connection failed after 4 retries' - UDP reachability, sv_lan, rate/netchan limits, wrong port, and provider-level UDP filtering - each with a concrete test.
Fix: 'Module failed to load' in AMX Mod X
Work through every reason AMX Mod X reports a module as failed to load: wrong architecture, missing system libraries, version mismatch, and modules.ini configuration.
