"Run: app_update 72780  to download the old Brink Dedicated Server"

what about the brink server listed in the tools in steam?

2K Players and only a handfull of servers that are either full or cant play because im to high rank.
Are you going to support this game or have you just made it free to play with no support? Seems like a waste if you have, me and im sure alot of others want you to roll out an update for this game please, i mean haha it even has more people playing than Quake Champions and Lawbreakers, do us all a massive favour thank you ;)

Oh and add Badges/Emotes/Backgrounds!

Anyone wanna help me with Brink's most BS mission? Other missions are doable, but this one is like the holy grail of dumbass AI. Can't solo it for ♥♥♥♥. Couldn't solo it on Xbox when the game came out, and still can't solo it now.

Tried to start my own server but when I get to the part where I write app_update 72780 I get an error: failed to install app 72780 (no subscription)

Question , how do I run Brink and the server on the same pc? I set the launch options for brink to win_allowMultipleInstances “1” but it still doesn't allow me to play the game and run the server on the same pc.

which error message you get when opening a cmd with admin rights, moving into the Brink Dedicated Server folder and executing brink_ded1.bat?

[LuckyStrike]

can you run the server alone without playing?
can you run multiple instances of your servers?
can you run the client alone without server online?

[LuckyStrike]

Your Steam Brink Launch Options should look like this:
+set com_allowConsole 1 +set com_bootLogo 0 +set win_allowMultipleInstances 1

you need the +set

or you add them to autoexec.cfg
Copy this to

seta com_allowconsole 1
seta com_allowFullConsole 1
// Disable Bootlogo
seta com_bootlogo "0"

C:\Steam\userdata\YourRandomNumber\22350\local\base
inside of autoexec.cfg. if file does not exist, create it. make sure it has .cfg and not .cfg.txt or something like that.

add
seta com_showfps "1"
to show fps ingame

add
seta logFile 2
seta logFileName brinkClient_$Y-$M-$D_$h.$m.$s.log
seta logTimeStamps 1

to create client logfiles inside of autoexec.cfg folder

I don't have a problem with the server.There is no error when starting the server,atleast from what I can see.The problem is I can't seem to be able to play the game while the server is running because it doesn't allow me to have two instances of the game open at the same time.

EDIT: I forgot to put the "+ set" in the launch options.It's probably that.I'll try again when I get home.Thanks :)
