HLDS Update

Post by EdisonGlass »

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble updating my HLDS. I was wondering if someone could give me a quick run-through on how to do it. Help is much appreciated, I'm unable to run my server because of the update >.>

Is this an Orangebox server of some sort?

Here's how you would update a basic CS:S server on an unmanaged Windows VDS, as an example:
  1. Close/turn off all your game servers.
  2. Open a command prompt window by using Start->Run->cmd.exe
  3. Execute these commands:

    Code: Select all

    cd\game installs
    hldsupdatetool.exe -command update -game "Counter-strike Source" -dir sourcebase
    
When it finishes, the server in "c:\game installs\sourcebase" will be updated. You would need to repeat this procedure for servers in other folders, and for servers of other types.
