Mike Durand: We've tried unsuccessfully to install the tf2 content. Both on Windows 2003 and Latest Red Hat Enterprise Server. We did the normal - hldsupdatetool -command update -game tf -dir c:\pub#18 -verify_all (different for nix), and the installer had the following behaviors:
Windows 2003 R2: First try, seemingly complete (installer said 100%) download of the content. However, in your previous post, you said that srcds.exe would be in the orangebox folder. It's not. For us the executable is in the parent folder to orangebox. For example, using the above command line example, we have: C:\pub#8\srcds.exe. The only contents of orangebox is a single folder named tf and no executables or any files at all. Red Hat Enterprise Server: Multiple attempts where the installer claimed a reset connection. This is a server in the same rack/datacenter as the windows box, with the servers on 100M/bs to the public cloud. After about 6 times of the installer getting ~30-50% complete and then failing with that error, other strange shit started happening, like the progress / percentage readout saying 112038475672% complete. I used the verify directive so it should have checked the file map and put srcds into the orangebox folder (as a child asset), correct? Again, like windows, the *ONLY* object in the orangebox folder for me is one folder named tf. So naturally, you try to start the server instance and it fails. Anyone have this problem? If it helps to know, this is the first package we've downloaded for tf and it was just about one hour ago. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joey Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 4:21 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] Team Fortress 2 update oddness I know this isnt a list for bitching and of any sort but i think we have the right to be carefull as to are next purchase, considering "CounterStrike - Hl2DM & TDM" were nothing but headaches with the periodic updates which did nothing but cripple the games and server's to the point that would render them not as much fun or playable for the matter.(Especially killing all admins with the famous "allowservercommands 1" I mean come on.... I think alot of you agree with me right?? And money isnt an issue i just don't want my next purchase to be another dissappointment..you know?
