then it says " iw5m_server has stopped working "

So basically it's not initializing. What's your server.cfg and your command line?

My command line : "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\call of duty modern warfare 3\iw5m_server.exe" +set net_queryPort 27015 +set net_masterServerPort 27017 +set sv_config "server.cfg" +start_map_rotate

Try changing your command line to exactly what is in this post http://fourdeltaone.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=11583

 

Also +set dedicated 2 although since it's default, don't think it'll matter.

my command line is exactly like that i think , but i will try the +set dedicated 2 .

Don't know if it matters, but the '+set net_port 27016' isn't in there.

This is what it should look like when it initializes.

Spawning server on map mp_crosswalk_ss and gametype grnd

You only need to specify "net_port" if you're running more than one server.

If your server isn't launching, then either the masterserver is down or the port that you're trying to use is already being used or blocked at some firewall.
