Since new update was released, I can't use my rcon password on LAN server. (I had rcon pw "rcon"...). But if i go to autoexec.cfg, and I try to change or copy that pw. And then i restart server and TW; it says that i wrote wrong pw.
And it's so bad for me now, since I have to fix and test many maps. :'(

This change was necessary because it's insecure if everyone has "rcon" as their rcon password by default. So instead you get a random password assigned when you start the server, it should look like this in the console window:

Code: Select all

[15-06-28 18:42:52][server]: +-------------------------+
[15-06-28 18:42:52][server]: | rcon password: '34HaN4' |
[15-06-28 18:42:52][server]: +-------------------------+
You can add this line to your autoexec.cfg if you really want the old password back:

Code: Select all

sv_rcon_password "rcon"
