My CentOS 5.2 server (x86_64) has had no such issues in the past. I do not, however, tell steam to use an alternate directory normally.
Trying just now with an alternate directory.....it acts like you say. Trying a second time, not specifying the alternate directory but letting it use the cached setting from the failed run, and it stops acting up. Perhaps try removing the "-dir tf2" after it hangs the first time? It should use the directory you specified on the previous run. Take note I did minimal testing, and it could be unrelated to the use of the -dir option. But what limited testing I did was consistent across three games. On a side note, this may be better directed at the linux specific list, not the Win32. -----Original Message----- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of jqu...@gmail.com Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 4:37 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] Centos hlds problems I have tried using the hlds update tool for multiple different games on my CentOS 5.2 server. Every time it does the same thing, it downloads a bout 1% or so then sits there doing nothing. Then if i close it and try gain, it downloads a few other files and hangs again. Then the third time it downloads nothing and hangs after saying this: # ./steam -command update -game tf -dir tf2 Checking bootstrapper version ... Updating Installation Checking/Installing 'Team Fortress 2 Content' version 77 It does this with TF2 and CSS, Insurgency, Red Orchestra, basically any steam game I try to install a server for. I have tried completely reinstalling everything and it has the identical same behavior every time. Anyone have any suggestions on what else I can try? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
