I have run SteamCMD half a dozen times 3 or 4 times a day for the last week. I only get the root folder files. The valve folder only contains the dlls folder with director.dll and hl.dll files. Nothing else is ever downloaded. Yet the steamcmd says fully updated with the validate command being used.
You can get all the files / folds downloading from the steam browser tools. But that is for a listen server. Will only download to a game client. It does not ask for a download location. ________________________________ From: hlds <hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com> on behalf of Ross Bemrose <rbemr...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, January 12, 2018 7:08 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: [hlds] GoldSrc installs using steamcmd still not fixed? At this point, no servers installed through steamcmd drive Valve's revenue. Valve doesn't seem to care about GoldSrc and they run their own servers for all their currently updated Source games. Third-party games are a different story, as the TripWire representative on this list can probably tell you.

I just have my scripts run steamcmd several times, and it usually succeeds by the 3rd attempt <sigh>. Valve is well aware of this, you would think, but they have no interest in fixing it since we can just run it a couple of times to get the job done. It used to be "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Now it is "if it ain't broke too badly, don't fix it" On 12/31/2017 03:50 PM, Ross Bemrose wrote: While I don't deal with GoldSrc myself, I'm still seeing complaints from people about steamcmd not installing them properly on the first try. This sounds suspiciously like a race condition. Is there any reason steamcmd hasn't been updated to fix this? I can't imagine it'd be that difficult to prioritize processing downloads forced by the app_set_config command first before starting the actual application update. Particularly since for appid 90, this includes downloading the actual appmanifest files that tell steamcmd what to install. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: https://list.valvesoftware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/hlds
