Steamcmd login failed with error code 3

Question

Hi all,

I’m trying to set up a CS:GO server using the steamcmd tool. But when I attempt “login anonymous” or “login USERNAME PASSWORD” I get the following

Connecting anonymously to Steam Public...Login Failure: No Connection
FAILED with result code 3

I’ve tried with Ubuntu 12.04 64, 14.04 64 and Debian 7 32 and I get the same issue.

I’ve tried implemented to recommended firewall rules

iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 27000:27030 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 4380 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT

But I still get the same. I’ve tried with steamCMD directly as well as the following csgo specific script http://danielgibbs.co.uk/lgsm/csgoserver/

Has anyone done this recently? Am I missing something obvious?

Ta :)

-Chris

Edit

Here is the original guide I intended to follow, it mentions DO specifically, so I assume it’s possible!

For fun, I decided to write you a launcher. It is best to run this on a server that’s not had steamcmd installed before (or just remove /home/steam/steamcmd folder and run “userdel steam”)

This will open up the firewall rules on Ubuntu 12.04/14.x for you, install steamcmd, and launch it. If you run this script after installing, it will merely launch the service.

copy/paste this in /root/steam_launch.sh:

#!/bin/bash
if [ ! -f /home/steam/steamcmd/steamcmd.sh ]; then
# Opening firewall ports
sudo ufw allow proto udp from any to any port 1200,27000:27017,27020
sudo ufw allow proto tcp from any to any port 27015,27020:27041
sudo apt-get install lib32gcc1 wget
adduser -m steam
su steam <<'EOF'
mkdir ~/steamcmd
cd ~/steamcmd
wget http://media.steampowered.com/installer/steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
tar -xvzf steamcmd_linux.tar.gz
EOF
echo "Steamcmd is now installed."
else
echo "Starting steamcmd...."
su steam <<'EOF'
cd ~/steamcmd
./steamcmd.sh
EOF
fi

Next, run this:
