Cannot create listen server - Error: Steam player does not exist

Camm · January 2014

Cannot seem to create a listen \ bot server. It hangs at Finished loading 'maps/ns2_mineshaft.level' forever (as in I let it go for a good 30 minutes).

When I exit out and look at the log file, I get Error: Steam player does not exist. I can play normal NS2 fine.

It's a shame, as I really want to learn how to commander

Cheers

Restart steam and try again.

Tried - doesn't change anything. If it helps, listen has never worked for me (been playing since launch). I've formatted my computer multiple times since then, new router... I'm really lost on this one.

It should be 127.0.0.1 not 192.168.1.10. It's like you are connecting twice.

Mmm, I might try running a listen server whilst not connected to any network, hence shouldn't be trying a different IP.
