I think this might actually be possible. (Cannot confirm for sure.) Somebody ought to give it a try and see what happens (when the server is released, that is). Just delete the directory with the name that's a big hash, and then run an update (make sure to specify "validate") which will validate all the files.
But just a reminder that there won't be a stampede. We'll give people plenty of time to download and configure their server. -----Original Message----- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Abdulrahman Abdulkawi Sent: Friday, March 08, 2013 7:20 AM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Mandatory TF2 Beta update released How would one go from using the TF2 Beta installation as a non-beta TF2 server for when SteamPipe is released.
